“States of consciousness as per siddha tradition; today’s subject is…”

States of consciousness as per siddha tradition; today’s subject is ‘States of consciousness as per siddha tradition’. Just today morning in the pancha tapas I was experiencing a extraordinary strong awareness not just in my nervous system, you see in my nervous system continuously that is there. I was experiencing it all over. I can say this is one of the important revelation happened in me. The highest utility of the body is to experience the pure witnessing consciousness in the body.

Please understand that is the highest utility. That is the highest possibility that is the highest best thing can happen to human being; to the body.

There was a chanting going on when I was sitting in the samadhi. One word ‘parama kaaranaya’ that was the word in the stotra got caught into my system; in that grinder. Paramakaranaya; the ultimate cause, I was contemplating meditating what is the ultimate cause what is the ultimate reason for the body. The ultimate reason for the body, ultimate utility of the human body is to experience the pure awareness, to be the centre of the pure awareness; that’s all nothing else. Please understand so many things will happen in front of that pure awareness. If you are interested in seeing some part, your body will turn or fall in tune for that part; that’s all.

You see in front of that pure awareness so many great wonderful spiritual things will be happening, so many dangerous violent abusive things will be happening, so many charitable dharmic things will be happening, so many sensual pleasure things will be happening. Whatever you feel interested in looking at, you will assume that kind of body; that’s all. If you are interested, if you are interested in giving attention to all this pleasurable sensual things you will assume that kind of body. If you are interested in seeing some charitable dharmic social service activity, that kind of waves, then you will assume that kind of body. If you are interested in violent aggressive arrogant waves, you will assume that kind of body, in that kind of place. If you are interested to see all the great spiritual happenings, please understand, in front of the cosmic consciousness, in the presence of the cosmic awareness, all these things are happening. If you are interested in that spiritual depth then comes, you will assume that kind of body.

Please understand I am not just talking about every birth you take you will have that kind of body you choose; no. I am saying every morning. Every morning when you wake up from your bed you can alter at least three and a half percent of your body’s quality. Please understand why I am saying three and half percent because every night three and a half percent of you falls into complete turiyavastha. Please understand I thoroughly studied a normal body. If you have hundred idea about you before falling asleep, three and a half ideas does not come back to you next day morning; three and a half ideas are lost in turiya. That three and a half ideas you have the freedom to choose as new.

Please understand, you have hundred idea. I am tall, I am dark, I am maybe little handsome, I am intelligent or I am dull, some idea you will be having. Hundred ideas if you carry about you, I have poor health or I have strong health, if you carry hundred strong ideas about you, I am saying for example and fall asleep, next day morning when you wake up three and half percent, that’s for normal human being. If you do the hoonkara meditation, hoomkara is the powerful beeja to awaken kundalini, in the night before falling asleep, intense hoonkara meditation and pure camphor a pinch of pure camphor with milk if you take, do this meditation and take this siddha medicine, it’s a ordinary pure camphor which we use in the temples, not processed camphor pure camphor, one pinch put it in the quarter liter milk, boil it nicely. And, if you drink that milk and this hoonkara meditation seven thoughts do not come back; seven concepts do not come back. You have the freedom to expand. I thoroughly studied. Soon I wish we will prove all this things scientifically.

Three and a half thoughts do not come back to you. Please understand every day you have the freedom to alter three and a half thoughts of you. Three and half major concepts you carry about you can be beaten and rebuilt every day. So if you need to change all hundred thoughts how many days it takes, thirty three days or I can say thirty days; one month for new personality; nothing else. You see actually to tell you honestly it was not only surprise it was a shock to me that every day three and a half thoughts about our identity we don’t get it back. Unfortunate thing is, in the day time you force yourself and get it back. If you are simply making the decision towards the new personality; it is nothing, a simple conscious decision directed in our koorma nadi, in our system is enough. And especially consciously if it is programmed it is enough.

I am telling you every night hoonkara meditation or even shakti dharana and this camphor, milk camphor is enough. Seven thoughts do not come back next day morning. Please understand when I say thoughts, not ordinary thoughts. For example if this building is your personality, if you have a hundred pillar for this personality for this building, every night when you fall asleep and come back, next day morning three and a half pillars are missing. So you can put your own new pillars consciously. Not only it was a surprise it was a shock for me because with this one understanding if we go on replacing, the transformation of the human consciousness becomes such an easy job; such an easy job. You just need to decide that three and a half thoughts, three and a half ideas, which you need to forget about it every night and next day morning you just need to decide the new pillars you want to create; that’s all.

Big problem is, always all the solutions all the truths I speak looks so practical, so simple, slowly, slowly you guys have started thinking no, no when he explains it is all simple maybe I will not be able to practice. No. That is a one more thought. Maybe that is the foundation on which your building is built. You need to break that. Patanjali calls that as a postponement. That is one of the worst disease stops your transformation stops your enlightenment. I am telling you from a honest solid conscious research. Three truths; first highest utility reason for the body, parama karana, is to radiate to be the centre of the pure awareness; first truth.

Second; in front of the pure awareness all possibilities are dancing. When you go and live among the different civilizations only you will understand each different civilization is different world altogether. So in front of the pure awareness all dances are going on. Whichever dance you pick up whatever idea you give more attention and awareness, you will assume that kind of body that kind of area that kind of energy that kind of tuning. This is second truth.

Third truth; that changing of the tuning does not happen only when you take new bodies, it happens even while you fall asleep and wake up every night. Three and half pillars are removed; every time you fall asleep more than four hours three and a half pillars are removed. And you have now chance, to put new three and a half pillar or get that same old three and a half pillar or more dangerous three and a half pillar. So every day either you grow or go down.

Human life is a great possibility; a very great possibility. I am telling you these are some of the very deep secrets; especially this revelation three and a half thoughts does not come back after every four hours sleep. Soon some way we will find it to prove it scientifically. And if you do this hoonkara meditation and taking camphor and milk seven thoughts do not come back. With these basic three truths we will enter into the understanding of states of consciousness in siddha tradition. I may not be able to complete this subject but I will start today. I will continue.

Siddhas have done so much of research and development in so many different fields and they had the advantage of the alchemy science; means all the herbs were available for them. Please understand, the vedic civilization, Ganges civilization was more animal based civilization. Means they were getting their food and everything from animals; cow, goat, animals. That is why vedic civilization was respecting, revering, worshipping animals; ‘go’ puja, cow worship. Cauvery civilization was not only animal based, tree based civilization, because they were on the hills. That is why the Cauvery civilization not just animal worship they had the tree worship also. That tree worship revering trees, respecting trees, worshipping trees was from Cauvery civilization; because these guys had the possibility to live with both. They had the possibility to understand the utility of both. So they were using trees, herbs, plants, everything to alter the state of consciousness.

Still in Tamil Nadu villages they have the saying a mother does not want to be away from her son. But the son want to travel and see the world see the country. So mother puts him puts one condition on him saying that when you go away from the house, when you start travelling, you should always sleep under tamarind tree. When you decide to come back you should always sleep under neem tree. Give me that one vow. This guy says that’s perfectly alright. He promises and starts. If you sleep every night under tamarind tree you cannot maintain your health more than thirty days. You will fall sick. That fellow fell sick and he could not travel further. So every night, so he decided to come back so he started sleeping every night under neem tree. By the time he reached the house he was healthy. Siddhas know the science of using all these things to alter the state of consciousness. Tamarind tree breeze is very hot. Sleeping under tamarind tree in the night time is not good for health but sleeping under neem tree is straight away healing. It has a tremendous healing effect on the body.

So I start talking on the states of consciousness in siddha tradition and techniques and herbs used to infuse that states of consciousness into human beings. In siddha tradition states of consciousness is not three or four as it is in the vedic tradition. In the vedic tradition it is jaagrat, swapna, sushupti, turiya. But in siddha tradition they are working with one more concept called turiyaateeta. See a basic vedantic literatures describe three state only jaagrat, swapna, sushupti and some evolved deeper upanishads they describe about jaagrat, swapna, sushupti, turiya; fourth state. Siddha traditon works, I don’t know what is the purpose but they work with five state they created. They have understandings about the fifth state turiyateeta. They call it turiyaateeta. Jaagrat, swapna, sushupti, turiya, turiyaateeta.

Jaagrat means waking state; at least 40% of you are in, the state in which at least 40% of you are in; waking state. Dream state all of you know, which you experience every time you fall asleep, dream state; swapna. I will give the meaning now. Later on I want to use the technical terms itself so that you understand the very technical term. Not keeping the technical terms alive was one of the main reason for destruction of vedic and siddha traditions. Even while you translate all these great truths the original shabdha should be kept alive. It should not be lost. That is why I insist on all my commentary books whether it is on Yoga Sutra, Vignana Bhairava Tantra or Shiva Sutra or Guru Gita or Bhagavad Gita or anything, I insist on retaining the original Sanskrit verse in Sanskrit in the Devanagiri language; Devanagiri Lipi. Then you can have transliteration, translation, commentary, question answer, anything, bashya, bashya on bashtya vaarthika and bashya on bashya on bashya tika. You can have anything but the original should be retained.

So I request all of you to understand, jagrat means waking state, swapna dream state, sushupti deep sleep state. Turiya, in the deep sleep sometime you go to that depth where you touch your very restful awareness. Sometime morning you will wake up you will feel O God! I was awake whole night but did not have any thought, no sleep. I neither slept nor tired, neither had any thoughts nor any dreams. That is what is turiya. Some time you will experience it. Especially if you

meditate before sleeping and fall asleep or had energy darshan before sleeping and fall asleep or been medium before sleep and fell asleep; you will experience that turiya.

The fifth is turiyaateetam. Turiyateetam is something like a being established in that restful awareness forever; samadhi. I can say turiya is like a satori, turiyateeta is sahaja samadhi; eternal samadhi, nitya samadhi. These are the five states. Now siddhas are explaining how these five states overlap on each other. It is not that just that five states are happening in you in separate, separate, separate timings no. See now so many are in different, different, state than waking state. If you are sitting like this you are in waking state, if you are.... then it’s a different state. Now I have to diagnose in which state you are in.

I will recite the original verse in which siddhas talk about the over lapping of these states. Then I will describe each overlapping one by one, one by one. It’s from Thirumoolar a great siddha who did parakaya pravesham from his old body into new body. This siddha is a direct disciple of Nandideva Nandi and he was travel doing astral travel towards southern Bharat. In a place in southern part of Tamil Nadu he sees one shepherd boy, young boy twenty twentyish, twentyish, in his twenty’s lying dead because of snake bite and all his pet animals’ cows and goats standing around him and shedding tears crying. This siddha saw it and his whole heart melted. It was too much. O God! How nicely he would have taken care of those animals for those animals to stand and cry seeing his dead body. They were just licking his body and crying. Knowing that he is bitten by snake and licking his body they may get poison into their system, they were just unable to handle his death, so this siddha decides alright just to console these animals I will get into this body and heal them. I will train somebody else and hand over these animals to them. Then I'll get back to my original body. So he kept his body safely in one place and got into that body.

His name was Moolan. He got into that body. The body became alive. So all the animals have become very happy, they started jumping around. So he took all the animals back to the house. So as usual he put them all in its place. When the night came problem started; because his wife is slowly dragging him to the bed. And suddenly this siddha revealed himself and said, o my dear I am not your husband. It’s your husband’s body but he died due to snake bite. I am assuming this body just to console the animals and take them out of the sudden shock. She realized. She was also not able to control but she was very intelligent girl. She just controlled her suffering and begged him to stay in her house just for few days so that all the relatives will be able to handle the shock. Then she said then you can go back to your original body leaving this body. But just give me few days I will prepare the whole family. But she is so intelligent, she went and told some of the villagers next day morning and those villagers went and found that body, his old body and burnt it. So he was not able to get back to that old body. He has to now live in the new body.

This is the way first translation of all vedantic truths on all great spiritual concepts and research and development done. So one verse from him, I am describing all the different states of consciousness based on the siddha tradition. Now I will start the first verse then I will give you the translation. Kandana aindum kalandavor aindum undananaangum ongiyada unandabin pandaippinaadiparandada saakkiramandamumdaan aimarandadakaane. O God! Kandana aindum kalandavor aindum undananaangum ongiyada unandabin pandaippinaadiparandada saakkiram andamumdaan aimarandadakaane This one verse if I describe and give you just the translation and meaning it needs five days. I'll give you the essence. Kandana aindum kalandavor aindum undananaangum ongiyada unandabin pandaippinaadiparandada saakkiram I will give you the essence and take you into the deeper layers of this song tomorrow because I don’t want you to miss this song. It is a really a powerful verse. Because next, next verses you will be able to understand only if you understand this verse.

Aana manamum ariyindra buttiyim moonai idanda nindruleuyirpedi danamidundada tayangiyavarabol una iidanta sutiyatame Somehow siddha tradition has almost become like a addition; the extra research and development done on vedic tradition. Vedic tradition is almost like a syllabus book. Siddha tradition is like a monthly magazine. See in monthly magazine you will always have some extra tips about that subject; more extra research and development done in that subject. Kandana aindum kalandavor aindum undananaangum ongiyada unandabin pandaippinaadiparandada saakkiram andamumdaan aimarandadakaane.

Understand this much now. Jaagrat, waking state is a state where you can understand, analyze, accept. You will have ability to shift yourself to all the other five states sorry all the five states I can’t say other because other means only four more. All the five states and overlapping of all the five states on to each other. See I am defining once more. Waking state is a state from which you can have understanding, ability to move to all five states. From dream state you will not have the ability to shift yourself to any other state. No. From deep sleep state you will not have the ability to experience and understand about any other state. No. This is the state, waking state is the state from which you can understand all five states and you have the freedom and ability to shift yourself into any of these five states. Understand this much. Tomorrow I’ll go deeper and deeper into the steps.

Let the grace and blessings of siddhas be on all of us to experience the highest state of consciousness through the understanding of different states. Let you all achieve, experience, live, express and radiate the eternal bliss, Nithyananda.

Thank You.
