Indian Yogis with Powers :
Great epic Ramayana of India gives us an idea of how Hanuman exhibited his supernatural powers. He was a Brahamachari (unmarried) with self-control, a strong man with unlimited powers, an unmatched scholar and a great devotee of Lord Sriramchandra. Even to this day, people in India chant the Hanuman chalisa everyday to get rid of the evil. Daily chant of this mantra helps them overcome all sorts of trouble they face in life.

Sri yantra to gain Siddhis or Powers:
Sri Yantra is an auspicious tool with immense power that brings in riches and fulfills desires of a human being. There is nothing magical in this tool. It motivates our mind by removal of negativeness to achieve necessary goals in life. The obstacles and negativity in the surroundings will be removed. At the same time, harmony and peace is restored in that place.
Meditating upon the shown symbols of Sri yantra will help in the clarity of thoughts and leads towards re-focusing on the goals in a very efficient way. It helps a individual to gain the spiritual as well as material wealth in life. The worship of Sri yantra by offering flowers daily is a good practice. Any kind of worship or puja to the yantra does not consume more time. Do not forget to hang or place the Yantra at home or office on a very auspicious day. Read Interesting story on Sri Yantra in the archive - "Sri Yantra to get rid of witchcraft spells and evil spirits".
Siddhi and Sadhanas :
Siddhis are the gained Supernatural powers, Sadhana is the path of attaining of the siddhi which a Sadhak (Person who wants to gain powers) involves in his routine life.
Hanuman had almost all the Supernatural powers or Siddhis. He is a Chiranjeevi(man who has no death), according to indian epics Ramayan and Mahabharatha. He is still existing but unseen by the people of modern world.
Famous Himalayan Mountain range :
Himalayas, the famous mountain range at the north of India is also a sacred place for many. Kailash Parvath or the Mt. Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva. There are many yogis still meditating in the caves of Himalayas. They are totally isolated from the modern world. They have the power to resist extreme weather conditions of the Himalayas.

Himalayas, the famous mountain range at the north of India is also a sacred place for many. Kailash Parvath or the Mt. Kailash is the abode of Lord Shiva. There are many yogis still meditating in the caves of Himalayas. They are totally isolated from the modern world. They have the power to resist extreme weather conditions of the Himalayas.
You can see a clear video of the Yogi who is still living in the heights of the Himalayas where temperature is -45 degrees. The Yogi is able to survive on the ice just because of the immense powers he gained through meditation and sadhana.
Some people believe Hanuman the Chiranjeevi still exists near Manas sarovar lake, Himalayas
Pantajali and the siddhis :
Patanjali, a sage of ancient times wrote in his scriptures about the eight siddhis, what we call supernatural powers.
1. Anima- The siddhi by which a yogi reaches a minute state. As small as an ant or totally invisible.
2. Mahima- The siddhi by which a yogi is able to be so big that he may even tear apart the clouds and looks as if he has reached the sun.
3. Laghima- Making the body as light as a feather or cotton. The power to levitate; to make yourself light so that one could float in the air or walk on the water.
4. Garima- Heaviest body like a mountain by swallowing draughts of air.
5. Prapti- Yogi attains the power to change any object from one state to another, as he desires. Can predict future events, gains the power of clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, thought-reading, etc. He can understand any unknown language, the language of any beast or bird. He can cure all diseases.
6. Prakamya- Entering the body of another (Parakaya Pravesh).
7. Vashitvam- Power of taming wild beasts and bringing them under control. It is the power of mesmerising people by the exercise of will and making them obedient to one’s own wishes and orders. It is the restraint of passions and emotions. It is the power to bring men, women and the elements under subjection.
8. Ishathvam- Attainment of divine power. The Yogi himself becomes the Lord of universe.The Yogi who has this power can restore life in dead bodies.
Shankaracharya, the great saint :
Shankaracharya, the great Indian saint entered the dead body of a king called Amaruka of Varanasi. Shankara wanted to gain the experience of worldly life through that body.
Shankaracharya installed Srichakra in some of the temples in South India. These Srichakras have the power to defeat the evil spirits and blackmagic. They give away cosmic energy which are positive in nature. They have healing powers and prove very useful to the human beings. People believe that wishes are granted at those places where Shankaracharya had installed the divine Srichakra.
Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda was also a great spiritual leader. He was a great yogi who gave an inspiring speech at the World's Parliament of the Religions at Chicago on September 11, 1893. People gathered at the place were amazed to hear him address all the people as Brothers and Sisters of America. The divine glow on his face attracted everybody. Such is the mind of a person who embraces spirituality and becomes a yogi. Yogi is the person who wins over the six evils:
1. Kama (Lust or desires) 2. Krodha (Rage) 3. Lobha (Greed) 4. Moha (Attachment) 5. Mada (Ego) 6. Matsara (Envy or Jealousy)
The control over mind and body activities :
In the Bhagavath Puran (a great epic), Srikrishna has stated that there are many ways to attain these siddhis. Control over breathing, by practising the Pranayama. Hathayoga or Yogasans and self-control, meditation, awakening of the Kundalini or divine power within the body are some of them. Only with the Guru's direction these siddhis are attained. Pure vegetarian diet is expected during the practice or even after attainment of these powers. Mind and body should be clear to concentrate and meditate.
Awakening the Kundalini :
The short video shows how a person gets the divine powers by meditation. There are 7 chakras in a human body. After purification of mind and body, Pranayama(control over breathing), continuous meditation and practising Hatha yoga for a long time, the Kundalini Shakthi in the body gets awakened at the bottom most Mooladhara chakra. When the person is able to rise the Kundalini shakthi to the top most 6th and 7th chakras, he will be able to attain the Siddhis or Supernatural powers.
Caution : It is very dangerous to awaken the Kundalini without the help of Gurus (experts in Hathayoga and meditation).

Rajkamal 3 years ago from Guntur, A.P., India
Ramayana is one of the all time hit stories in India, nothing more than that. Asthma is relieved temporarily when the bronchioles dilate so that air enters the lungs more freely. All the things about body becoming lighter and hanging freely in the air is called ILLUSIONISM. David Blaine does that superbly. Hanuman could have easily jumped across the ocean when the descriptions by the author got extremely superlative.
Author 3 years ago
Mr. Rajkamal, Ramayana is not only an epic but a true story, well-known in India and most of the Asian countries. There is ample proof in Srilanka and India for this. If u visit Lanka they will show the places where Ashoka vatika and battle took place. It is now all in ruins. Hanuman's existance is justified in the Rishyamuka parvat, one of the 7 hills near Hampi. Ramayana and Mahabharatha are not only great epics but stories based on facts. Whole of India is supporting these facts. If it was only a story written by someone only 1 or 2 states in India would have supported this. Hanuman is not only a Ramayan character but a living legend. He is beyond our imagination.

Person who saw him and clicked the photo died on the spot. The story related to this is given in:
geocities.com/Eureka/Enterprises/1503/Saikrish31.html
Just have look into that site. Not only that i know a village in Karnataka where Hanuman(idol) is sitting in meditating posture. In that particular village, no persons are expected to make loud noise. Those people with occupations related to wood cutting, craftsmen, carpenters etc. cannot live here. They suffer with unknown problems if they stay in this village. TV9 had shown this amazing village. You might ask me the question why this idol has so much power, when Hanuman is near Manas Sarovar. The fact is that Hanuman is a yogi with supernatural powers. David blain can show only levitation and not flying in air like superman. But Hanuman can. He is almighty and powerful. He can be in many places at one time. He is a Superhuman. Modern people cannot see him until and unless they fully dedicate and believe in him. They have to follow vrith and brahmacharya for years and totally cutoff from worldly happiness to see or reach him.People who are troubled with black magic can easily overcome this problem by strongly believing and worshipping Hanuman. I've seen this with my own eyes. So, i standby whatever i have mentioned in this blog.
Rajkamal 3 years ago from Guntur, A.P., India
Yes, Ramayana has a correct geographical presentation just like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Hanuman a God or killer? why would he kill a person who is trying to take a picture? You say that people can see his real power if they believe in him. I say that people need to see him forst to believe him. I am not saying that you should change your point in the blog or some thing like that. I only want to say that every one has to develop the attitude of questioning before believing. I believe in six Gods which taught me every thing I know, they are, 'What?', 'Why?', 'When?', 'Where'?, 'How?' and 'who?'
If you say that I have to get cut off from this world for years to see God, then, "No, thanks. I don't need God."
Author 3 years ago
Hanuman isn't a killer, but the person didn't have so much power to withstand the divine power that Hanuman had. He was an ordinary man like u and me. Many scientists cut off from the external world, until they discover or invent something new. They forget eating, drinking, sleeping etc. We all know it. To gain something one has to sacrifice. Soul cannot be purified until and unless somebody really dedicates and sacrifices for it. This is what we gain from meditation, Hathayoga and pranayama and worship of god. Happiness that yogis get with all this is only known to them. Not others who are totally immersed in worldly matters.

vivekananda you are absolutely right because nothing happen accidently...because no one become a P.hd Professor accidently or no one become a Pilot without learning from a master and the same thing apply on Spirituality which is totally different from this material world...If we want to see God then we have to go to a Real Spiritual Master and should learn this Study from him...anyways this is not a small thing which i or any one can explain here or we all fight for this thing...The first thing i want to say that if this person not see God it not mean that no one is in this world who not see God...this person do not know because he only didn't met with all the people on this Planet Earth...The Day when he will wish to see the God then God himself show him the way to him...Second thing i was a dj and i never believed in these things before but after coming in the contact of right spiritual persons...may be because of my good karmas of past life now i am believing in all these things and also gaining experiencesa while meditation...which is better then any material happiness...like sex or money...No one go to path of spirituality or in the shelter of God if we say...its all matter of past karmas and our own desire to know God which is inside our hearts...and the last thing is sadness which come from this material world...

i am still young yet, and what a vital thing is time. how to be sure in devotion to this ideal, it will be lead and nurtured by the right teacher?

In Indonesia, especially in Java, Madura and Bali we know the Ramayana story. However, the stories are different. many Indonesian writers in the past must have added some details which make them different from yours. Hanuman or Anoman in Javanese language is the white ape, the general of the army of King Rama who invaded Alengka (Sri langka).

I saw your hub about Kundalini shakthi.It is really good and informative. It is essential to practice Raja yoga to attain the enlightenment in addition to hatha yoga which is its first part.However through Bhakti yoga and Japa Yoga on can get the great enlightenment.Actually all the spiritual practices finally reache to Raja yoga which is the real God vision or Atma darsan.
I am an illumined yogi through Bhakti,mediation and japayoga. Please see my varous articles in the hub pages.

When someone speaks about our great culture and on the contributions of all Great Yogis that all these things have no science base, he and everyone who hears him must at least think most of science theories and basics is just the imagination or sudden sparks of ideas in the mind of its inventors and then develops a new basic, a contribution to the branch of science. Science now says a common man uses about 1% of his potential intellegence, about 2% by polititians and about 5% by scientists. By using this 5% of their potential intellegence, they analyse their thoughts and possibilities. By attaining divine power through yoga, prana yama and other spiritual methods one will be able to use his entire potential. Thus gaining wisdom he can understand the real truth. So what our great Yogis had told cannot be analysed using today's science because it has not grown enough yet to provide explanation for Indian spiritual thoughts, because the masters of science use only about 5% of their potential intellegence. Just think on Indian contributions like ayurveda which was born thousands of years before, is getting its world wide reputation. Let me conclude by saying, never tell 'no' or 'its baseless' to our spiritual concepts on the basis of science.. We must atleast study try to understand the truth about our spiritual concepts from a true spiritual teacher by following his instructions on practicing spiritual techniques....

Yes, of course it is a wonderful experience to awaken the Kundalini. But once someone awakens his/her Kundalini, then he should be very satwik in behaviour and food habits. Only an experienced Guru can tell you more about kundalini awakening. He will show the right path to be followed later on, so that there are no negative effects on the native.

I am really impressed with this article. I am also in search of a spiritual master who can guide and solve my plethora of questions both spiritual and material. Talking about Hanuman. I am enlightened to know about those interesting facts. In Telugu we call lord Hanuman as ANJINEYA. There is this famous Anjineya Dandakam(Like Hanuman chalisa). we strongly believe that those who read it will be relieved from fear and problems related to Black Magic and gains prosperity. Another interesting information is that Hanuman is the FUTURE BRAHMA. All the best and keep going.

If God really loves us, why didnt he endowed evryone with same power, i mean giving someone more and some very less, infact none. Why is always the poor and weak suffering of various problems in life whereas the rich and guilty roam free and untouched by sorrow. Dont u think sir, that God shd change his ways before we change our belief about him.
Actually i believe that if an honest,inocent and someone who has experienced most of the sorrows of life, replaces God in reality, he can do much better to the world. (Pls dont give the examples of Bruce Almigty, bcos: 1. He was alone, God had 108 deities, and 2. He had only ten days for works which needs 10000 years)

Hi Kennedy, Past deeds always follow a person. It is just a matter of time for a person who is going on a wrong path. Even the richest have to suffer when they are born on this planet. We only see people who suffer physically. But none of us can see a person who suffers mentally until he goes for a treatment or gets hospitalized. We see only smiling faces of people in our everyday life.

if you are smart and intelligent, it is easy to find the right Guru. Never accept anyone as your guru, at first sight. Be with him for some days. Act as if you are helping him or his Ashram people. Do not get too much involved with him until you know he is the right one for you. Follow him for at least 6 months to know all his activities. Ask with people inside and outside Ashram, about his behavior and true powers.

Hi Vivekananda, Thanks for the Knowledge. I have been practicing Raja Yoga(based on Swami Vivekanda's books) for several hundreds of hours and am close to attain Samadhi state of mind(A mind fixed on a single thought/object for a count of at least 28.8 mins makes one spec of Samadhi state). I have a couple of questions which have set me in dilemma and are becoming hindrances for further progress. That is...The very fundamental stages are YAMA, which means, non-injuring anybody, truthfulness, non-covetousness, chastity(Bramhacharyam), not receiving anything from another & NIYAMA, which means regular habits and observances, austerity, study, contentment, purity, worshiping God, fasting.
Q1) These deeds of non-covetousness & chastity are almost impractical for a social man/family man and that infers that a social man can never become a Yogi. Is it true? If so is there any alternative? Q2) One of the crucial element of becoming a yogi is truly non-desirable & unbiased attitude. One who goes beyond the need of any desire alone can become yogi. If so the very thought of becoming a yogi itself is desirous. How do you explain this contradiction?
Q3) Why should one has to take the human form and then break away all the bonds and earthly possessions, become totally unbiased to anything and then attain enlightenment rather be a part/extension of the Super Intelligence itself and oversee all the creation? Kindly help with the insights. Thank you.
Author 3 months ago
Hi Karthik Battaram, You are here with some good questions.
A social man/family man can surely become a Yogi. But it becomes almost impossible because of his strong bonding with family members. Once he comes out of this bonding and gets prepared for it mentally, it becomes easier to follow the path of saints. Only the one who is really born for it will change his mind. After having lot of experiences in life, it is better to go for the path of enlightenment because according to Hindu scriptures, we don't take birth as humans every time. According to the karma in the present life, a soul takes the form. So, to get rid of this karma it will be great thinking to become a yogi. Strong will power is needed to follow the path of enlightenment. But the Guru can do it all. He should be a great yogi himself to change another person. He is able to select the disciple and future yogis at the first sight. So find a best Guru who can lead you towards a right path.
There will not be any desires in a true yogi. He knows that he has to get rid of all strong bonds and disconnect from this mortal world to attain the ultimate - moksha(free from birth and death) .

Mr. Karthik Battaram
Q1) These deeds of non-covetousness & chastity are almost impractical for a social man/family man and that infers that a social man can never become a Yogi. Is it true? If so is there any alternative?
Ans: a social man/family man can become a yogi.... the meaning behind the words non-covetousness & chastity doesn't mean to this physical world... ur mind should be able to see them as acts of body and not to have any attachment / expectation out of those acts...
Q2) One of the crucial element of becoming a yogi is truly non-desirable & unbiased attitude. One who goes beyond the need of any desire alone can become yogi. If so the very thought of becoming a yogi itself is desirous. How do you explain this contradiction?
Ans: ur right the thought of becoming a yogi itself is a desire... that's why the practice of seeing the ur body, mind & acts as a third person without any expectation is the practice which u have to do...
this is called as "aparokshanubhuti"... u can practice by sitting in a calm place by closing ur eyes and observing ur thoughts in a neutral ways without expecting any outcome out of this practice... in the beginning it may be difficult to observe without any bias or expectation... but with time u will know what i said by urself... this practice will also make u to understand the answer to ur first question
Once u start practising this u will know that ur body & mind may be performing some activities but ur no way attached to it or expecting any outcome from it
Q3) Why should one has to take the human form and then break away all the bonds and earthly possessions, become totally unbiased to anything and then attain enlightenment rather be a part/extension of the Super Intelligence itself and oversee all the creation?
Ans: All those things what u said is from the world's view... can u view & understand an object by being within it ? Ex: can u see & understand an Bus / train completely by sitting with in it !!... only by observing it from side u can understand it completely... similarly what ur able to realise ur true-self that ur not this body... u will understand that all these things called human, animal or forms all the acts of thought like a film reel running in front of u... they just doesn't have any more meaning when ur to achieve ur trueself

From both the places, I could feel that those holy souls are existing from long time in those Hampi Locations.Still people have been seeing lights(passing by during amavasya) from Tara-Parvat(mountain where Tara-wife of Sugreev lived)..So keeping all these facts in mind-if you reach Hampi at these locations, u will get the actual feel of Goddess People..Jai Hanuman...Jai Sree Ram..

| Hanuman reading Ramayan |
Patanjali, a sage of ancient times wrote in his scriptures about the eight siddhis, what we call supernatural powers.
1. Anima- The siddhi by which a yogi reaches a minute state. As small as an ant or totally invisible.
2. Mahima- The siddhi by which a yogi is able to be so big that he may even tear apart the clouds and looks as if he has reached the sun.
3. Laghima- Making the body as light as a feather or cotton. The power to levitate; to make yourself light so that one could float in the air or walk on the water.
4. Garima- Heaviest body like a mountain by swallowing draughts of air.
5. Prapti- Yogi attains the power to change any object from one state to another, as he desires. Can predict future events, gains the power of clairvoyance, clairaudience, telepathy, thought-reading, etc. He can understand any unknown language, the language of any beast or bird. He can cure all diseases.
6. Prakamya- Entering the body of another (Parakaya Pravesh).
7. Vashitvam- Power of taming wild beasts and bringing them under control. It is the power of mesmerising people by the exercise of will and making them obedient to one’s own wishes and orders. It is the restraint of passions and emotions. It is the power to bring men, women and the elements under subjection.
8. Ishathvam- Attainment of divine power. The Yogi himself becomes the Lord of universe.The Yogi who has this power can restore life in dead bodies.
Shankaracharya, the great saint :
Shankaracharya, the great Indian saint entered the dead body of a king called Amaruka of Varanasi. Shankara wanted to gain the experience of worldly life through that body.
Shankaracharya installed Srichakra in some of the temples in South India. These Srichakras have the power to defeat the evil spirits and blackmagic. They give away cosmic energy which are positive in nature. They have healing powers and prove very useful to the human beings. People believe that wishes are granted at those places where Shankaracharya had installed the divine Srichakra.
Swami Vivekananda
Swami Vivekananda was also a great spiritual leader. He was a great yogi who gave an inspiring speech at the World's Parliament of the Religions at Chicago on September 11, 1893. People gathered at the place were amazed to hear him address all the people as Brothers and Sisters of America. The divine glow on his face attracted everybody. Such is the mind of a person who embraces spirituality and becomes a yogi. Yogi is the person who wins over the six evils:
1. Kama (Lust or desires) 2. Krodha (Rage) 3. Lobha (Greed) 4. Moha (Attachment) 5. Mada (Ego) 6. Matsara (Envy or Jealousy)
Meditation and 7 Chakras
Sri Krishna (famous Bhagavath Puran)
 |
| Sri Krishna |
In the Bhagavath Puran (a great epic), Srikrishna has stated that there are many ways to attain these siddhis. Control over breathing, by practising the Pranayama. Hathayoga or Yogasans and self-control, meditation, awakening of the Kundalini or divine power within the body are some of them. Only with the Guru's direction these siddhis are attained. Pure vegetarian diet is expected during the practice or even after attainment of these powers. Mind and body should be clear to concentrate and meditate.
Awakening the Kundalini :
Rising of the Kundalini from bottom to top
The short video shows how a person gets the divine powers by meditation. There are 7 chakras in a human body. After purification of mind and body, Pranayama(control over breathing), continuous meditation and practising Hatha yoga for a long time, the Kundalini Shakthi in the body gets awakened at the bottom most Mooladhara chakra. When the person is able to rise the Kundalini shakthi to the top most 6th and 7th chakras, he will be able to attain the Siddhis or Supernatural powers.
Caution : It is very dangerous to awaken the Kundalini without the help of Gurus (experts in Hathayoga and meditation).

Rajkamal 3 years ago from Guntur, A.P., India
Ramayana is one of the all time hit stories in India, nothing more than that. Asthma is relieved temporarily when the bronchioles dilate so that air enters the lungs more freely. All the things about body becoming lighter and hanging freely in the air is called ILLUSIONISM. David Blaine does that superbly. Hanuman could have easily jumped across the ocean when the descriptions by the author got extremely superlative.
Author 3 years ago
Mr. Rajkamal, Ramayana is not only an epic but a true story, well-known in India and most of the Asian countries. There is ample proof in Srilanka and India for this. If u visit Lanka they will show the places where Ashoka vatika and battle took place. It is now all in ruins. Hanuman's existance is justified in the Rishyamuka parvat, one of the 7 hills near Hampi. Ramayana and Mahabharatha are not only great epics but stories based on facts. Whole of India is supporting these facts. If it was only a story written by someone only 1 or 2 states in India would have supported this. Hanuman is not only a Ramayan character but a living legend. He is beyond our imagination.

Person who saw him and clicked the photo died on the spot. The story related to this is given in:
geocities.com/Eureka/Enterprises/1503/Saikrish31.html
Just have look into that site. Not only that i know a village in Karnataka where Hanuman(idol) is sitting in meditating posture. In that particular village, no persons are expected to make loud noise. Those people with occupations related to wood cutting, craftsmen, carpenters etc. cannot live here. They suffer with unknown problems if they stay in this village. TV9 had shown this amazing village. You might ask me the question why this idol has so much power, when Hanuman is near Manas Sarovar. The fact is that Hanuman is a yogi with supernatural powers. David blain can show only levitation and not flying in air like superman. But Hanuman can. He is almighty and powerful. He can be in many places at one time. He is a Superhuman. Modern people cannot see him until and unless they fully dedicate and believe in him. They have to follow vrith and brahmacharya for years and totally cutoff from worldly happiness to see or reach him.People who are troubled with black magic can easily overcome this problem by strongly believing and worshipping Hanuman. I've seen this with my own eyes. So, i standby whatever i have mentioned in this blog.
Rajkamal 3 years ago from Guntur, A.P., India
Yes, Ramayana has a correct geographical presentation just like Dan Brown's Angels and Demons. Hanuman a God or killer? why would he kill a person who is trying to take a picture? You say that people can see his real power if they believe in him. I say that people need to see him forst to believe him. I am not saying that you should change your point in the blog or some thing like that. I only want to say that every one has to develop the attitude of questioning before believing. I believe in six Gods which taught me every thing I know, they are, 'What?', 'Why?', 'When?', 'Where'?, 'How?' and 'who?'
If you say that I have to get cut off from this world for years to see God, then, "No, thanks. I don't need God."
Author 3 years ago
Hanuman isn't a killer, but the person didn't have so much power to withstand the divine power that Hanuman had. He was an ordinary man like u and me. Many scientists cut off from the external world, until they discover or invent something new. They forget eating, drinking, sleeping etc. We all know it. To gain something one has to sacrifice. Soul cannot be purified until and unless somebody really dedicates and sacrifices for it. This is what we gain from meditation, Hathayoga and pranayama and worship of god. Happiness that yogis get with all this is only known to them. Not others who are totally immersed in worldly matters.

vivekananda you are absolutely right because nothing happen accidently...because no one become a P.hd Professor accidently or no one become a Pilot without learning from a master and the same thing apply on Spirituality which is totally different from this material world...If we want to see God then we have to go to a Real Spiritual Master and should learn this Study from him...anyways this is not a small thing which i or any one can explain here or we all fight for this thing...The first thing i want to say that if this person not see God it not mean that no one is in this world who not see God...this person do not know because he only didn't met with all the people on this Planet Earth...The Day when he will wish to see the God then God himself show him the way to him...Second thing i was a dj and i never believed in these things before but after coming in the contact of right spiritual persons...may be because of my good karmas of past life now i am believing in all these things and also gaining experiencesa while meditation...which is better then any material happiness...like sex or money...No one go to path of spirituality or in the shelter of God if we say...its all matter of past karmas and our own desire to know God which is inside our hearts...and the last thing is sadness which come from this material world...

very informative page. given me much to think about. i often think of searching for a spiritual master to begin to train further down these paths, however doubt even this initial step. how would one even go about finding a proper teacher, if as i have read to understand, the most enlightened are themselves detached from the material world and thus out of contact with ordinaries like myself? furthermore, what of trust in another man to bring about spirituality? how to put faith in another of flesh and blood to lead me down these paths of betterness? questions and doubts pervade.
i am still young yet, and what a vital thing is time. how to be sure in devotion to this ideal, it will be lead and nurtured by the right teacher?

In Indonesia, especially in Java, Madura and Bali we know the Ramayana story. However, the stories are different. many Indonesian writers in the past must have added some details which make them different from yours. Hanuman or Anoman in Javanese language is the white ape, the general of the army of King Rama who invaded Alengka (Sri langka).

Dear Spiritual Friend,
I saw your hub about Kundalini shakthi.It is really good and informative. It is essential to practice Raja yoga to attain the enlightenment in addition to hatha yoga which is its first part.However through Bhakti yoga and Japa Yoga on can get the great enlightenment.Actually all the spiritual practices finally reache to Raja yoga which is the real God vision or Atma darsan.
I am an illumined yogi through Bhakti,mediation and japayoga. Please see my varous articles in the hub pages.

When someone speaks about our great culture and on the contributions of all Great Yogis that all these things have no science base, he and everyone who hears him must at least think most of science theories and basics is just the imagination or sudden sparks of ideas in the mind of its inventors and then develops a new basic, a contribution to the branch of science. Science now says a common man uses about 1% of his potential intellegence, about 2% by polititians and about 5% by scientists. By using this 5% of their potential intellegence, they analyse their thoughts and possibilities. By attaining divine power through yoga, prana yama and other spiritual methods one will be able to use his entire potential. Thus gaining wisdom he can understand the real truth. So what our great Yogis had told cannot be analysed using today's science because it has not grown enough yet to provide explanation for Indian spiritual thoughts, because the masters of science use only about 5% of their potential intellegence. Just think on Indian contributions like ayurveda which was born thousands of years before, is getting its world wide reputation. Let me conclude by saying, never tell 'no' or 'its baseless' to our spiritual concepts on the basis of science.. We must atleast study try to understand the truth about our spiritual concepts from a true spiritual teacher by following his instructions on practicing spiritual techniques....

Dear sir, forget people like Rajkamal. He would question all and everything. Some people love that. Lord Hanuman is the one we have to concentrate on, such people may deviate us from the path if we are weak. So concentrate and build your blog, so many more would be benifitted, inspite of people like Rajkamal.

Yes, of course it is a wonderful experience to awaken the Kundalini. But once someone awakens his/her Kundalini, then he should be very satwik in behaviour and food habits. Only an experienced Guru can tell you more about kundalini awakening. He will show the right path to be followed later on, so that there are no negative effects on the native.

I am really impressed with this article. I am also in search of a spiritual master who can guide and solve my plethora of questions both spiritual and material. Talking about Hanuman. I am enlightened to know about those interesting facts. In Telugu we call lord Hanuman as ANJINEYA. There is this famous Anjineya Dandakam(Like Hanuman chalisa). we strongly believe that those who read it will be relieved from fear and problems related to Black Magic and gains prosperity. Another interesting information is that Hanuman is the FUTURE BRAHMA. All the best and keep going.

Vivekanand ji,As long as one considers The Great Ramayan and Mahabharat as just stories, it would be understood as stories only.The Mass of our population is made to understand that Ramayan and Mahabharat or any Puranas as mere stories.... In fact Those Puranas are the REAL HISTORY OF THIS GREAT NATION..not the one taught in the modern syllabus...about some cultureless pirates and maniacs who attacked and looted this sacred land.. Alaas.. that too is our karma phal..Any way.. India is the most Sacred Land in the entire Universe and will ever remain so being blessed by the Great Hanuman and the Yogis and Rishis of Himalayas.

If God really loves us, why didnt he endowed evryone with same power, i mean giving someone more and some very less, infact none. Why is always the poor and weak suffering of various problems in life whereas the rich and guilty roam free and untouched by sorrow. Dont u think sir, that God shd change his ways before we change our belief about him.
Actually i believe that if an honest,inocent and someone who has experienced most of the sorrows of life, replaces God in reality, he can do much better to the world. (Pls dont give the examples of Bruce Almigty, bcos: 1. He was alone, God had 108 deities, and 2. He had only ten days for works which needs 10000 years)

Hi Kennedy, Past deeds always follow a person. It is just a matter of time for a person who is going on a wrong path. Even the richest have to suffer when they are born on this planet. We only see people who suffer physically. But none of us can see a person who suffers mentally until he goes for a treatment or gets hospitalized. We see only smiling faces of people in our everyday life.

Good comment...Aishwarya. You may be right in some ways. But as you said everyone has his own belief. Belief may change from community to community, person to person. My belief lies on the fact related to the external source that gave birth to all of us. Which is that source? What name should be given to that powerful source? It is god..god and only the god.

if you are smart and intelligent, it is easy to find the right Guru. Never accept anyone as your guru, at first sight. Be with him for some days. Act as if you are helping him or his Ashram people. Do not get too much involved with him until you know he is the right one for you. Follow him for at least 6 months to know all his activities. Ask with people inside and outside Ashram, about his behavior and true powers.

Hi Vivekananda, Thanks for the Knowledge. I have been practicing Raja Yoga(based on Swami Vivekanda's books) for several hundreds of hours and am close to attain Samadhi state of mind(A mind fixed on a single thought/object for a count of at least 28.8 mins makes one spec of Samadhi state). I have a couple of questions which have set me in dilemma and are becoming hindrances for further progress. That is...The very fundamental stages are YAMA, which means, non-injuring anybody, truthfulness, non-covetousness, chastity(Bramhacharyam), not receiving anything from another & NIYAMA, which means regular habits and observances, austerity, study, contentment, purity, worshiping God, fasting.
Q1) These deeds of non-covetousness & chastity are almost impractical for a social man/family man and that infers that a social man can never become a Yogi. Is it true? If so is there any alternative? Q2) One of the crucial element of becoming a yogi is truly non-desirable & unbiased attitude. One who goes beyond the need of any desire alone can become yogi. If so the very thought of becoming a yogi itself is desirous. How do you explain this contradiction?
Q3) Why should one has to take the human form and then break away all the bonds and earthly possessions, become totally unbiased to anything and then attain enlightenment rather be a part/extension of the Super Intelligence itself and oversee all the creation? Kindly help with the insights. Thank you.
Author 3 months ago
Hi Karthik Battaram, You are here with some good questions.
A social man/family man can surely become a Yogi. But it becomes almost impossible because of his strong bonding with family members. Once he comes out of this bonding and gets prepared for it mentally, it becomes easier to follow the path of saints. Only the one who is really born for it will change his mind. After having lot of experiences in life, it is better to go for the path of enlightenment because according to Hindu scriptures, we don't take birth as humans every time. According to the karma in the present life, a soul takes the form. So, to get rid of this karma it will be great thinking to become a yogi. Strong will power is needed to follow the path of enlightenment. But the Guru can do it all. He should be a great yogi himself to change another person. He is able to select the disciple and future yogis at the first sight. So find a best Guru who can lead you towards a right path.
There will not be any desires in a true yogi. He knows that he has to get rid of all strong bonds and disconnect from this mortal world to attain the ultimate - moksha(free from birth and death) .

Mr. Karthik Battaram
Q1) These deeds of non-covetousness & chastity are almost impractical for a social man/family man and that infers that a social man can never become a Yogi. Is it true? If so is there any alternative?
Ans: a social man/family man can become a yogi.... the meaning behind the words non-covetousness & chastity doesn't mean to this physical world... ur mind should be able to see them as acts of body and not to have any attachment / expectation out of those acts...
Q2) One of the crucial element of becoming a yogi is truly non-desirable & unbiased attitude. One who goes beyond the need of any desire alone can become yogi. If so the very thought of becoming a yogi itself is desirous. How do you explain this contradiction?
Ans: ur right the thought of becoming a yogi itself is a desire... that's why the practice of seeing the ur body, mind & acts as a third person without any expectation is the practice which u have to do...
this is called as "aparokshanubhuti"... u can practice by sitting in a calm place by closing ur eyes and observing ur thoughts in a neutral ways without expecting any outcome out of this practice... in the beginning it may be difficult to observe without any bias or expectation... but with time u will know what i said by urself... this practice will also make u to understand the answer to ur first question
Once u start practising this u will know that ur body & mind may be performing some activities but ur no way attached to it or expecting any outcome from it
Q3) Why should one has to take the human form and then break away all the bonds and earthly possessions, become totally unbiased to anything and then attain enlightenment rather be a part/extension of the Super Intelligence itself and oversee all the creation?
Ans: All those things what u said is from the world's view... can u view & understand an object by being within it ? Ex: can u see & understand an Bus / train completely by sitting with in it !!... only by observing it from side u can understand it completely... similarly what ur able to realise ur true-self that ur not this body... u will understand that all these things called human, animal or forms all the acts of thought like a film reel running in front of u... they just doesn't have any more meaning when ur to achieve ur trueself

From both the places, I could feel that those holy souls are existing from long time in those Hampi Locations.Still people have been seeing lights(passing by during amavasya) from Tara-Parvat(mountain where Tara-wife of Sugreev lived)..So keeping all these facts in mind-if you reach Hampi at these locations, u will get the actual feel of Goddess People..Jai Hanuman...Jai Sree Ram..
