“Today’s subject is photographing minds!”

Prayer. Welcome.

Today’s subject is photographing minds! Today Patanjali is expressing a very unique sutra.

The science of saamudrika lakshana. Bharatn tradition has developed a great unique science. Like vaastu shaastra, jyotishya shaastra, saamudrika lakshana is a great science from Bharatn masters. The root of that science is from this sutra.

125TH Patanjali Yoga Sutras, 3rd 19th chapter verse –

Pratya yasya para chitha gyanam

Vivekananda: through the practice of samyama on the science in another’s body, knowledge of his mind comes

Prabhavananda: by making samyama on the distinguishing marks of another man’s body, one obtains knowledge of nature of his mind

Satchitananda: by samyama on the distinguishing sc ience of others bodies, knowledge of their mental image is obtained

Osho: through samyama the image occupying anothers mind can be known but perception through samyama does not bring knowledge of mental factors that support image in others mind, for that ,…

To suspend receptive power, the contact between eye …..this principal also explains the disappearance of sound

Osho connects some of the next sutras also with this sutra.

Saamudrika Lakshana – the way vedic tradition looks at the body and mind play an important role on how we eat, how we dress, how we medicate our body, how we maintain, how we sleep everything is thoroughly influenced by one concept. That concept is – your body is the shell of your consciousness which is consciously, willfully, defined, designed, created and developed by your will! This science, this truth what I expressed now forms a base of Bharatn medication trends, medicinal systems like siddha, ayurveda. This truth is base for our dressing systems – the way we dress. This truth is base for our the whole saamudrika lakshana means by studying the physical image, the measurements, the mental set up is studied! The revelations about the mental set up is understood. The truths about the mental set up is revealed. Please understand, this theory forms the base of yoga. For example, saamudrika lakshana says the size of the face from one edge of the ear to the other is considered to be one unit. The distance between the edges of both the shoulders should be 3 units. The distance between one edge of the hip/waist to the other should be one unit. It describes if it is exactly like this what will be the personality. The cross section of your body the belly button to your back should never be more than one unit. How the size should be. If shoulder to shoulder is less than 2 ½ units, the person will never be able to understand his own life. He will make decisions out of small things, he will not have a clear larger vision about the purpose of life, mission of life. I have seen. Please understand, our masters are not liars. They have done amazing research on the science of how the body is willfully designed, developed, created and expressed by your consciousness by every thought you are creating in your system. When you are having certain thoughts continuously they work on your system, when you don’t work on them, that also works on your system, when you suppress them that also works on your system. Another thing, once if you have them does not mean you cannot alter your body. by altering the dimensions of the body, altering the mind is YOGA. By altering the mind and thereby altering the body is Vedanta. Opp is yoga. By analyzing the structure of the body and understanding the mind is saamudrika lakshana. Here Patanjali talks about the great science of saamudrika lakshana.

The other day one person came to me about a complaint about his personal life. All I said is just work out and increase his chest size by 5 inches. He cannot understand how this will solve his personal problem. He started doing and he saw his problem disappeared! If you alter your body, major samskaras of your system can be completely uprooted! Your body is a shell consciously created by your will. With this understanding, constantly you work on it do not leave blind spots in your body. blind spots means unattended spots. For the people who have a huge belly means you have unattended that spot for last few years. When it started growing, what where you doing? It was growing around you! after growing, many parts of your own body you cannot see. I am giving you one example – the essence of this sutra is one of the greatest discovery of the Bharatn tradition – body is not just bio mechanism, it is a living entity which is created by independent intelligence! Just like how our websites are designed how it should look, the photos, everything is designed. Same way you sit and decide skin colour, the hair, the size, the length of hand – everything you sit & design! Every morning 21 minutes – see that is one cycle of you waking up – when you remember you are alive awake about this world, few minutes after that and few mintues before that – maybe 5 minutes after you wake up and 16 minutes before you wake up – that 21 minutes plays a major role in everyday designing of your body. every day you design your body! every day it changes. That is why I say, the moment you wake up jump out of the bed! Every day you design your body. you design how you should look, how you should feel, how you should feel about you, how others should feel about you – but unfortunately this whole process goes on unconsciously.

One thing I can be sure I know the design with which you designed your body, with that I can say you design your life and work. It is good that it is not an eternal curse. It is an organism which can be altered. In western tradition, only that organ is treated and replaced. But in eastern tradition we attend the whole thing!

So 2 thing – one learning little bit of studying the body structure and mental set up. You don’t even need to refer saamudrika lakshana – no. you don’t need to refer those books. Pick up 4 people who have major influence on your life – maybe your spouse, kids, your guru – and try to study their body structure and mental set up – of course you cannot study my mental set up because I don’t have mind. A Guru does not have mind becos he does not have mind. That is where the problem starts. You try to impose your anger on him and want him to be angry and violent with you. at least if you can confirm that he is angry with me and you can move on. Neither your mind allow you to feel he is your friend and compassionate. Nor your mind will allow you to feel he is your enemy. Nbecos you will not find any symtoms of anger or enemity in him. I want to tell you – whether show of my anger or greed is just like a tool for me like when I heal, how I heal the stick. A normal man who does not understand I heal, comes to me and says I have a chest pain swamiji, I pick up a trishul, what will he think? But I know I am healing him with that. Understand my anger is a trishul for healing you not killing you! but this funny mind goes on playing.

Your mind cannot even confirm – no he is my enemy, he will kill me. then you can move on. Becos the underlying energy which designs your body is intelligence enuf to catch the underlying energy of the master which designs his body. you will never be able to find my mental set up by studying my body. but when the energy of your underlying consciousness which designs your body will catch with its own intuition as a smell it will catch – no, he is not my enemy, he is not violent. That is why the love hate relationship with master goes on till you get enlightened! That is why the Upanishad starts saying – sahana bhavattu, sahanou gunattu – let us not hate each other, let us nto hurt each other! Why will an enlightened Guru start saying this prayer? Why will master start – let us not hate, hurt each other, let us be friendly with each other. Becos he knows during the process how you are going to use me some time as a deity, some time as effigy! When you are evolving – see the process of evolution has 2 angle – one your negativity getting clearned, another one your positivity getting increased. When your \+vity is getting increased you will feel friendly with you in you and others. When your –vity is getting cleaned that I am violent an effigy. But in both of these, you are evolving. That is why I am saying even if you are feeling me as an effigy, don’t run away. Don’t miss. It is an important truth. Decide to study 4 people – their body strucuture and their mental set up. You will have many revelations in you. have this as a base and expand your analysis to some 10 people. Create some basic laws. The basic laws which you create will nto match with the basic laws which next person says. That is why Patanjali says YOU need to do samyama.

Ther eis another science in siddha tradition called Vaasi yoga – means the siddha wills it in one place and observe the breath – which nostril, which speed and direction it goes. When somebody comes to him for anything, just by the way in which his breathing changes, he will predict for the other whether the problem will be solved or not. The moment you want to talk to me, I will know whether you will listen to me or not. I was being initiatied into this vaasi yoga by Narayana swamy who was a very powerful siddha a disciple of Paramahamsa Shivananda who was in Kerala. He was teaching me some of the basic rules.

One person came to him for healing of the anal cancer means continuous bleeding. Then immd he looked at him and said you will become alright. He gave the skin of the peeled onion. He took that from an onion shop next to the temple. There were peels of onion there. He just collected that and gave it to that guy who came. He said just sit on it and you will be healed. That guy got healed. He was teaching me. he had a unique tool which he will give me. when he sees patients, I have to sit behind him and study how the breathing changes. When this patient came, I was studying that day too. There is a book called periya gyana kovai – essence of the vaasi yoga. I was looking at that book. The rule written in that book and what happened here in this incident was not matching to be said he will be healed. I asked him how is it. He said the understanding only needs to come from the book, the rest will come out o fyour experience of studying people.

That is why I am saying, you need to sit with 4 people in yoru life and develop a formula. With that formula study 10 more people. You will develop secondary formulas. Then with both the 1st and 2nd formulas you can understand your own body.

1 – understanding about others and study their own body and mental structure. 2 – understanding your own body & mental structure. If you understand your mental structure, you will be able to avoid several sufferings in your life. Understanding about mental set up makes that set up as object and you get the experience of seeing it objectively, it is no more subject – part of you! you do not attribute the suffering created by that mental set up on you, on your inner space! You know that this suffering is by mental set up not by me. so I cannot take it up on me. I am not responsible. You will know that you are different and the suffering mental set up is different. Studying, doing samyama on this sutra will help you to develop amazing purposeful fulfilling in relationships. Learn to further the relationships which fulfill your purpose and learn to curtail the relationships which bring suffering. That knowledge, that understanding will happen to you if you do samyama on this sutra. How will you do this? by -

Sit first pick up 4 people who are close to you in your life. Study their body structure – broad structure, height – with your own understanding their characters and body structure – if you study, you will find common theme and formula. Based on that formula study 10 more ppl. By the time you do this, you will devlop your own understandings. With that anybody who comes to your breathing space you will know whether to further that relationship or not. Life is all about furthering relationships that will fulfill your mission and maintaining distance with all those which will not fulfill your mission.

One technique I can give you for this – try it. Not only it will lead you to understand your relationships, it will lead to understanding of your own body and metnal stru cture which will avoid suffering and lead to enlgithenement. The form and energy are very closely related. Just now I remembered all the places now I connected our Bharatn and US temples I am surprised. There is a unique energy connection. I said LA represents Arunachala – arunachala is fire. Now this fire energy will heal LA. Phoenix is earth energy – kanchipuram – it Is a desert. Ohio – river energy , seattle is sky energy – Chidambaram is sky energy. Sky is constantly showering in seattle – it is just sky energy. Houston is kalahasti – air energy – too many cyclones. We will put kalahastishwara in Houston and stop all natural calamities by air. We will connect each temple with each energy.

We only need now water energy. We will come up with a place where too much of suffering is happening with water and install jambukeshwara, jalakandeshwara and stop that also. We created the pancha bhoot kshetras – arunachala, Chidambaram, kanchi, kalahasti – only jalakandeshwar we need to created. Place and energy connects. Body and consciousness connects. They are connected, related to each other. So study this sutra, do samyama on this sutra. It will help immensely in your day to day life for developing your relationships and your immense understanding about your own body and mind. Once you know this, you know how to alter your body and alter your mental structure. It can free you from all the sufferings caused by your mental strucuture, liberate you and make you attain enlightenment. Blessings!
