Waking up to love

Miracles are all around us, we just don't recognize them. This is my humble discovery after a profound miracle in my life. I had great pleasure in carrying a baggage full of hurts for everything and everyone around me. I never had a healthy relationship with anyone, and being cynical was a trait I was proud of. Life was nothing but a bundle of conflicts, until I received the Oneness Blessing.

A devotee of Amma Bhagavan told me about the limitless grace the devotees experience and about the divine intelligence behind Oneness Blessing. With a lot of scepticism, I attended a course at the Oneness University.

During the process, I had to confront the hatred I had towards others. The suppressed emotions began to show up and a particular memory was ripping me apart. There is an adage, 'Good fences make good friends', maybe it's true. My neighbour had encroached the part of my land, whose market prices was escalating every passing day. The killer instinct took over me, and I had harboured murderous thoughts towards him several times. I was in the midst of an unrelenting flow of revengeful thoughts. I felt victimized and helpless. Helpless? Was I ever? I was waging my lone battles all along. The guides of Oneness University gave me the sacred Oneness Blessing of Amma Bhagavan.

After the Oneness Blessing, amazingly, however hard I tried, I couldn't recapture the thoughts of revenge and hate in its same magnitude and effect. A very unusual and astonishing set of events began to unfold.

After returning to home, an inner voice kept prompting me to visit my neighbour. Having been a prisoner of the mind for long, I dismissed these thoughts as another product of the mind, only to be proven wrong. Each day, the inner voice urged me to visit my neighbour and I began to suspect that these urges are not the pastimes of the mind. In the Oneness Blessing process, we were told that the presence would protect and guide us through our journey of life. Maybe the inner voices are the ways of presence and I decided to visit the neighbour.

A sober and distressed atmosphere prevailed in the neighbour's residence. I entered the house suspecting that things have gone wrong. To my great dismay, I found my neighbour lying dead. The ambience had a setting of resignation and deep mourning.

I went to the neighbour's residence to offer a hand of friendship, but this event totally shattered me. Moments of pain offer great insights and utmost surrender to the divine. I was ruing the missed chance of setting right my relationship with the neighbour. Tears started to trickle down, when the inner voice whispered saying "He is not dead. I brought you here to make you both friends again".

Instinctively, I held the neighbour's head in my lap, and said Amma Bhagavan let your will prevail and gave him Oneness Blessing. Then the unthinkable happened, the neighbour was brought back to life. Everyone was astounded by this divine phenomenon, and joined me in thanking the Lord. Reflecting back on the entire chain of events, I realise it was orchestrated by Amma Bhagavan to wake me up to the true potential of love.

NEW HEART, NEW BRAIN, NEW BEING

The Oneness Blessing had a surprise in store for me. A healing pyramid appeared in my vision and I was sitting inside it. A divine being stood in front of me and said, "I bring you the gift of clairvoyance and the gift of healing. Use it as you will to help humanity." I was quite taken aback since these were the 2 things that I was not sure would be granted. Next I was placed in an intense beam of light and a deep cleansing of all past negative tendencies, patterns, and karma was taking place. As I emerged from the light, Sri Bhagavan stood before me and said that I needed a new heart! My old heart had some physical genetic disease as well as many old wounds. So I was in full agreement. Bhagavan removed my heart and replaced it with a beautiful golden divine heart. The old one was showed to me and gently placed in a golden incinerator where it was burnt. I felt a new physical strength come into my heart. At the same time the heart beat became more regular and centred more in the middle of my chest.

Amma and Bhagavan were not finished with me. They were then examining my brain. I was open for a new one but it seemed that Amma and Bhagavan decided that some brain surgery and rewiring would do the job. It seemed to take quite sometime and many strange sensations were felt in my head. On completion of the brain surgery my awareness was pulled back to my new heart and I started to feel it expand and grow so huge that it seemed to encompass the whole universe. I experienced myself within the cosmos containing the night sky studded with brilliant stars. I was there with Amma and Bhagavan. We were laughing and playing together. There was a deep realisation and experience that, "We are all one heart." Bhagavan and Amma have made a new being out of me with the heart of Jesus and the wisdom of the Buddha.

Deeksha experience

I BROKE UP WITH MY MIND

Arriving in South India and walking through the gates inscribed Oneness University, my life so far flashed through my mind. My choice of parents didn't give me an easy life. Despite my mother's illness, father's absence and a troubled mind, I am forever grateful for, it put me on an adventure of seeking life's inner secrets. I got the feeling that my parents with their artistic abilities, sharp minds and compassionate hearts, were smiling at me from heaven at my arrival to that which awaited me at the portals of Oneness University.

Being 50 years of age, the last 30 years of my life had been spent in the pursuit of spiritual and mental growth, and thus I had both a sceptical and investigative mind. To give you some perspective: I have had individual guidance with a guru in India in the 80's, I have learned and taught Re-evaluation Counselling, attended EST, studied Kashmiri Shaivism, the Vedas, Patanjali with monks in India, studied and practiced Buddhism in Nepal, and was a master certificate holder in Luthier. My life had been interspersed with personal suffering and hardships. Therefore, you can understand if I were to say that I would not accept just anyone to guide me.

Our process started, the Oneness Blessings began and days went by, and I became aware that I had to be attentive. A tremendous amount of things were happening inside of me and I knew that I might miss something if I did not pay attention. As we moved on with our teachings and Oneness Blessings, my ability to define what was happening became less obvious. I began to see that the "I" that tried to understand itself and reality was not really me. I began to feel that the "I" was merely thought processes that went on and on forever in order for it to be. I was so used to be "me" that defined everything as if the definition and understanding were required for its existence. Then the other thought surfaced that perhaps it was not the "I" that persisted in definition, but rather the very process of definition that created the "I"; it kept on defining, knowing, opining, thinking, becoming in order to exist, albeit unhappily!

I faced myself many times, selfishness in relationships, doubts, headaches, fear, confusion... At one point, my old life, my relationships, habits, opinions, knowledge, thinking flashed before me and I was not willing to give it up. After all what I was and what I knew seemed safe. However, in one of the Oneness Blessings my choice was certainly taken from me - this was the Oneness Blessing that helped me to see that I was not my mind. This Oneness Blessing changed my relationship with the mind forever.

As I felt Amma and Bhagavan's energy on my head, I was showered inside by some kind of energy or warm "being-ness". Please excuse my creative wording, since my experience is like nothing I know of, I feel the necessity to invent new words! The experience has nothing to do with knowledge. Patanjali's sutra: "Jnanam bhandaha" came to my mind - "knowledge is bondage". I saw how no knowledge in the world could give an experience like this where "I" this and that resolved into one. I was immersed in a stillness, a sense of love, and an immense sense of compassion for all suffering. Only pictures and a kind of presence filled me. Thoughts evaporated and after a while all functions of my body and mind ceased and I was filled with "nothingness".

The guides tried to help me lie down, but there was no response, I could not move. I was in a very deep state. I remained in this absolutely still state for two hours when suddenly, my body coughed and I woke up only to be able to move my finger. I happened to be sitting next to the chair where my beloved guide was sitting. Tears were flowing down my cheeks, I saw my entire life passing in my mind. I saw the island that I grew up on, the fields with horses and high grass swaying in the gentle wind, and the sun showering earth with its rays. I was crying as I could see these rays as Grace, and how it always had been present. I saw how I had been showered endlessly with blessing after blessing and how life had given me experiences, love, understanding, and help; but how the mind had come between with its judgement, its sense of right and wrong, explanations, conflicts, its becoming someone and its endless "knowing and not seeing" and all the tremendous pain all this had created in my life in order to sustain and defend the notion or illusion of "I".

I turned to my guide with great sorrow and with tears I said: "I have destroyed everything, I destroyed it all." He responded to me with his loving eyes full of compassion and a gentle voice, "How could you destroy anything? "You" were not even there. "It was a different "I" listening now. Then I asked, "So you mean it wasn't me, but my mind?" My guide nodded affirmatively in response. Then I realized that I cannot be responsible for my mind. My guide firmly said, that I was not my mind. I realized that I had no choice and felt a deep sense of compassion and acceptance of who I was, and had been. The conflict of trying to become something better was over. I could see the sun flowing down over the island again, caressing the grass, and how everything flows with love. It opened my heart, I could feel my heart opening for that flow because I did absolutely nothing. There was no more "I". I could see the pain of the mind and said farewell to the mind. It was like breaking up a long relationship painful, but I did not want the pain it caused.

The relationship between my mind and me had ended, and what was left was nothing! The "me" that broke up with that mind had disappeared too. I was filled with "nothing", and that "nothing" was characterized by peace, stillness, and compassionate love. What more could "I" ask for?

Deeksha phenomenon

The phenomenon of deeksha is sweeping the world as thousands of people are experiencing this transmission of divine energy. The Moola Mantra is the primary mantra used by the Oneness University and is a powerful invocation of the divine. It is inscribed on the back of the Deeksha Pendant and carries the energy of this ancient vedic chant. Click here for more.

The Moola Mantra

The Moola Mantra:

Om Sat Chit Ananda Parabrahma

Purushothama Paramatma

Sri Bhagavathi Sametha

Sri Bhagavathe Namaha

When ever you chant this Vedic Mantra even without knowing the meaning of it - the Moola Mantra itself carries power. But when you know the meaning and chant with that feeling in your heart then the energy would flow million times more powerful. Therefore it is essential to know the meaning of the Mantra when you use it.

The Mantra is like calling a name. Just like when you call a person he comes and makes you feel his presence, the same manner when you chant this mantra, the supreme energy manifests everywhere around you. As the Universe is Omnipresent, the supreme energy can manifest anywhere and any time.

The meaning of Moola Mantra:

OM :

OM has got 100 different meanings. It is said; in the beginning was the Supreme word and the word created every thing. That word is OM. If you are meditating in silence deeply, you can hear the sound OM within. The whole creation emerged from the sound OM. It is the primordial sound or the Universal sound by which the whole universe vibrates. OM also means inviting the higher energy. This divine sound has the power to create, sustain and destroy, giving life and movement to all that exist.

SAT-CHIT-ANANDA :

SAT means, all penetrating existence that is formless, shapeless, omnipresent, attribute less, and quality less aspect of the Universe. It is the Un manifest. It is experienced as emptiness of the Universe. We could say it is the body of the Universe that is static. Every thing that has a form and that can be sensed, evolved out of this Un manifest. It is so subtle that it is beyond all perceptions. It can only be seen when it has become gross and has taken form. We are in the Universe and the Universe is in us. We are the effect and Universe is the cause and the cause manifests itself as the effect.

CHIT is the Pure Consciousness of the Universe that is infinite, omni-present manifesting power of the Universe. Out of this is evolved everything that we call Dynamic energy or force. It can manifest in any form or shape. It is the consciousness manifesting as motion, as gravitation, as magnetism, etc. It is also manifesting as the actions of the body, as thought force. It is the Supreme Spirit.

ANANDA means bliss, love and friendship nature of the Universe. When you experience either the Supreme Energy in this Creation (SAT) and become one with the Existence or experience the aspect of Pure Consciousness (CHIT), you enter into a state of Divine Bliss and eternal happiness (ANANDA). This is the primordial characteristic of the Universe, which is the greatest and most profound state of ecstasy that you can ever experience when you relate with your higher Consciousness.

PARABRAHMA is the Supreme Being in his Absolute aspect; one who is beyond space and time. It is the essence of the Universe that is with form and without form. It is the Supreme creator.

PURUSHOTHAMA has got different meanings. Purusha means soul and Uthama means the supreme; the Supreme spirit. It also means the supreme energy of force guiding us from the highest world. Purusha also means Man, and PURUSHOTHAMA is the energy that incarnates as an Avatar to help and guide Mankind and relate closely to the beloved Creation.
PARAMATMA means the supreme inner energy that is immanent in every creature and in all beings, living and non-living. It's the indweller or the Antaryamin who resides formless or in any form desired. It's the force that can come to you whenever you want and wherever you want to guide and help you.

SRI BHAGAVATI is the female aspect, which is characterized as the Supreme Intelligence in action, the Power (The Shakti). It is referred to the Mother Earth (Divine Mother) aspect of the creation.

SAMETHA means together or in communion with

SRI BHAGAVTE is the Male aspect of the Creation, which is unchangeable and permanent.

NAMAHA is salutations or prostrations to the Universe that is OM and also has the qualities of SAT-CHIT-ANANDA, that is omnipresent, unchangeable and changeable at the same time, the supreme spirit in a human form and formless, the indweller that can guide and help in the feminine and masculine forms with the supreme intelligence. I seek your presence and guidance all the time.

Moola Mantra is the primary mantra used by the Golden Age Foundation and the Oneness University.

The energy phenomenon of deeksha

The energy phenomenon of deeksha, also known as the Oneness Blessing, is a non-denominational benediction. It is the transfer of Divine Energy which, over time is designed to bring about the state of Oneness in the recipient. This energy has been brought to the world through Divine Grace and is being bestowed upon humanity by the twin avatars of enlightenment Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, who reside in the Golden City, India.
The Oneness Blessing can be transferred by anyone who has received the transmission and training during a special process in India. The Oneness Blessing giver then works, as an empty vessel, for the energy to transfer to the receiver.

The deeksha pendant is a hand-made sterling silver pendant that has a beautiful Om carved on one side and the Moola Mantra on the back side. It comes in two shapes, a heart and an oval. The Moola Mantra is an ancient mantra made popular by Sri Bhagavan and Sri Ama as it invokes the presence of the divine. For more information on the Deeksha pendant, click HERE !.
