“Radio Host: I want to know about people say things happen to you in…”

Radio Host: I want to know about people say things happen to you in this lifetime because of things that happened in the past lifetime. You know, do we have any control about our destiny?

Swamiji: Sure. Our present is present because of our past decisions. Our present is nothing but the totality of all our past decisions. So when our present is the totality of the past decisions, why not our future be totality of the decisions which we are going to make now? The future is going to be the totality of the decisions which we make now. So every moment we consciously choose everything. The choices which we make in the outer world and in the inner world only is going to make our destiny. Very clearly destiny is simply in our hand. The old idea destiny…. we are in destiny's hand no more exists or holds good. The clear experience not only of Me, so many spiritual masters says destiny is in our hand. You can see even logically. Our present moment is the totality of the past decisions. So naturally our future moments are going to be the totality of the present decisions. Present decisions can lead to destiny. Present decisions can change, alter, transform the past.

Radio Host: So, you control them?

Swamiji: Yes

Radio Host: Ok Swamiji, I know that a lot of people, you know, looking at what the life today and a lot of people are going to do meditation part of it, but some people you know, there are so many different types of meditation that you hear about. Ok I know that You are very big at meditation. Can You address us now the meditation that You do?

Swamiji: I can give a small introduction about the meditation. There is a Universal Energy which moves the sun, moon, planet earth and the whole world and there is a individual energy which moves our body. Making connection or relationship with the Universal Energy is what I call meditation. Individual energy when it relates or when it connects itself with the Universal Energy, it gets totally rejuvenated. It gets a new dimension. It goes to the new space. It tastes the new bliss. The technique to relate with the Universal Consciousness only what I call meditation technique.

There are thousands of meditation technique, hundreds of methods. So you can try with any one technique. It is not that one technique is good or one technique is bad. For some people, some technique clicks. For some people, some other technique works. So, there are hundreds of meditation techniques which are available even from our website. You can see any one technique start when you start. Try with one or two techniques. You don't have to stick to one technique immediately. Try one technique for three days or four days. Then another one technique for three days or four days. Once you try three-four techniques, you will see which technique exactly suits you. Which makes you feel more comfortable, which gives you direct experience, that is the right technique.

In one or two experiments itself, you can be… you will be able to very exactly catch the technique which is suitable for you. As for as Me concerned, I give a meditation technique called Mahamantra. It’s available in our website. That is the first technique- initial level technique for all I prescribe. It is a simple humming. It doesn't need any faith or any prerequisites. Directly you can start. Any person who has got a simple logic or who is ready to believe the facts and figures, he can start this meditation. There is no need to have any faith on any god or any guru for this simple meditation technique. That is the first step I prescribe for everyone.

Radio Host: And again, they can get more about that on the website Dhyanapeetam.org. You can get more information on that. The other thing that You have been doing in the last few years is hidden true meditation and so many people that has gone through doctors, doctors are seeing them and can't figure out what is wrong and I know You have been healing people around the world. Can You tell us more?

Swamiji: In our human body, there is a seven energy centres which we call chakras. Not only Hindus, almost all the great religions talk about these chakras, energy centres. Now in modern day, the Kirlian photography which is practised widely in the Russia, the Russian Technology, Kirlian photography is the… just like X Ray, they diagnose the people six months before. Six months before the disease comes into the physical body, the disease can be diagnosed by this photography. It photographs the auric body, the life body of the man and diagnoses even the fatal diseases like cancer. So through this photography, now they proved the existence of seven chakras. Existence of seven chakras is proved by this photography.

Whenever some one chakra is more active or less active, if the imbalance happens in some one chakra, that causes disease. These energy centres, these chakras only manage our physical, mental, spiritual, emotional activities. When some one of these centres get imbalanced, naturally the man falls sick. So if the energy centres can be activated, energized by meditation, if they themself meditate and activate those energy centres, it is called self healing. In some people’s case, the disease is too much. It has grown too much and the people also may not be able to do the right meditation. So at that type of time, the person who already mastered the meditation, who has become enlightened, he can meditate and give the energy to that person. When we meditate and give that energy to that chakra, to that person, he gets healed. If the meditation is done by somebody properly, the energy can be created and be given. If he himself does the meditation and gets healed, it is self healing. If somebody else does the meditation and gives the energy to him, it is healing.

We may ask, “Can energy be given?” According to Einstein, whatever exists is energy. So energy is subtle matter; matter is subtle energy. When matter can be given, when I can give this kerchief, when I can give something, some audio cassette to you, why not energy? So, when matter can be given, energy can also be given. A right method and right technique is the only thing necessity for energy to be given. It is not that I only heal. I tried, by divine grace, to make this healing as a system, scientific system because in ancient days, it was practiced as a system. It is the inner science. I always tell the people, just like a outer science is a science. In outer science you can prove a \+ b is c. The same way, in inner science also things are readable, provable facts. Just like a Newton's theory, theory which speaks about the gravity, gravitational force, you can prove the force of levitation. The spirituality I call levitation. The outer science is gravitation; inner science is levitation.

It can be very clearly proved so the… not only I practiced, around the world, more than seven hundred people have been initiated as healer. They have been trained and initiated as healers. Two hundred centres we have around the world. All the five continents have got our centres to spread meditation and healing. Per day average three thousand people are touched by our healers totally and as on now, millions and millions of people have been touched by this spiritual healing, by this meditation. Lot of doctors who did research on this healing have given beautiful articles and research reports and many, many, many testimonials by the doctors themselves.

Already we have more than sixty doctors, MD doctors as our healers who took training in our healing initiation, healing system and there are many doctors who practice healing to their patients. So they say, if a patient takes eleven days to get well by medication, simple medication, if he is given meditation also along with medication, healing also along with meditation…along with the medication, he takes only three days. There are doctors who did research on this and their report says it takes hardly three days. So eleven days of recovering is happening only in three days along with the healing. So in ancient days we need to have faith or belief. Now I say, there is no need to have faith or belief. Just see. That is enough. Just if you can see with open eyes, things are proved. Things have come into the form of facts and figures.

Radio Host: Many of the American doctors have become healers now. How far it is? Speaking of doctors, I know You are on Your way back to Oklahoma and You have been doing some test. Can You tell our audience what is that’s all about?

Swamiji: A group of doctors and scientists who are working on the mind-body. They have a group who work on mind-body. They do lot of research for past thirty years. They came to see Me just to have a friendly discussion. So in the course of discussion, I was talking about Enlightenment and the experience of Enlightenment and experience of meditation. They were asking, “Swamiji, can it all be proved neurologically? If we test neurologically, can it show the difference in your neurological system?” I welcomed them and agreed to undergo neurological tests. So, then they took pet scan. Twice they took pet scan: at the time of meditation and at normal time. And again EEG. Twice they did EEG: at the time of meditation and at the time of normal time, normal mood. The total report is yet to come but the preliminary report itself, the initial observation itself according to the doctors, they say “stunning.” That is the word they used- “stunning.”

Radio Host: So when you went into the meditation mood and they did the brain scan and what was it that they…

Swamiji: The brain scan, the EEG and pet scan. They say some six-seven things new discovery. First thing, when meditation was happening, they say the whole neurological system is totally shut down, totally silenced except the one portion- the front portion which is something to do with intelligence. Except that portion the intelligent portion, all other portion, portion something to do with visualisation, part which is supposed to be related to the hearing, all other sensory portions, everything else is shut and everything else is totally in silence. Only this portion is active five times more than ordinary human beings, five times more than ordinary human beings…. and there are few more things which they have discovered. Just by a mere will, the whole mind is switched off. The graph of EEG shows a clear difference. Almost the line is… the line of graph line has become silent and some more things. They are working on some more things.

How the thoughts rise. Through the pictures they rise. They are showing in normal mind, the thoughts jump from colour to colour. They are actually trying to put the whole graph into a form of colours. So they say sometimes it goes from green to red, red to yellow, yellow to white. It jumps from here to there, there to here but with My mind, after testing they say, it’s just like a rainbow. Not in one picture or two picture, more than hundred picture shows a clear rainbow, thought with awareness is happening and some more discoveries, they are coming with some more discoveries. The… just by a mere will, the pleasure chemical dopamine is released into the system so that the outer joy is not necessary. A person who meditates, for him, the inner pleasure itself is so joyful, inside itself creates such an ecstasy there is no need for outer pleasure.

So all these basic things they are proving and they are coming up with some more new discoveries and some more tests. Again tomorrow we are having some more research on this line. People tell Me, “Swamiji, You have done a great service to our Eastern wisdom by proving all these things in the form of facts and figures but I tell you all, it is not the question of service. It is a question of survival. If we are not going to prove all these Eastern mysticism, all these spiritual things in the form of facts and figures, it is not going to survive.

All of you know your kids don't listen anymore about the spirituality. If you try to tell your kids about spirituality or about our religion, whether Hindu or Muslim or Christian, when you try to tell about our religion to the kids, they are not ready to listen. They say, “Mom you do. Dad you go. Don't call me,” so if they are not proved, if they are not given enough of proof. Our great Ancient Masters, our Rishis, our Sages, our Saints, they are all not fools. The lifestyle or the way of living which is created by them has got a solid truth in it, has got a solid proof for everything. So, unless we prove all these things, our kids are not going to listen to the great teachings or great lifestyle of Eastern Mystics or the Rishis. So, it is not the question of service, it is the question of survival. We have to prove to the whole world the power of meditation or the power of spirituality. Unless it is proved, it will die. So we are here to prove it.

Radio Host: And I am sure everyone out there appreciates You doing that you know, so that it could live on. You know, I never believe in on for generations to come because this has been around for thousands of years and you know, the way the computer age you know, everything has to be proved.

Swamiji: Yes, unless it is brought in the form of facts, people are not going to listen. The doubt is going to be the language of the future. ‘Believe me’ or ‘have faith’- all these words have become outdated. We cannot spread anything in the future using the words ‘Have faith in me,’ ‘Have belief in me’- these words are not going to work. “See”, is the only word which is going to work. The future language is going to be seeing, not believing. So it has to be brought in the form of facts and figures.

Radio Host: Swamiji, again, You want to tell everyone go on today the website and get more information about this and again it is Dhyanapeetam.org or you could go on to swamisworld.com and Swami, you are going to Oklahoma you go onto other places also and You are going to be in New York and New Jersey.

Okay so Swamiji, we know You have a very, very, very busy. I have about thirty five seconds left. I do really appreciate You taking the time and I know Your schedule is so tight and our listeners do appreciate You coming and sharing Your wisdom.
