No discrimination of Initiation:
The practice of the SIDDHA YOGA means keeping the mind always in the state of evenness. The LORD KRISHNA says in Chapter two verse 48 of the Geeta:-
“Evenness of mind is called Yoga”
In the SIDDHA YOGA, outward distractions which exist in practical life are of little significance. For women folk can also undertake the study (practice) of the SIDDHA YOGA, by observing rules mentioned earlier. Likewise, individual belonging to any caste, creed or society can be initiated into this path which is easy to follow and very swift in leading one of the stages of Supreme Divinity. Discriminations of race, caste, creed, community and religion of the world do not come in the way of any one who desires to follow this path which aims at the welfare of all human beings.
- Even the most sinful person cab obtain salvation by following this path:
The LORD KRISHNA says in Chapter nieth verse 30 of the GEETA:
“Even if a person vilest conduct worships me and none other,
he too must be considered good, for he has rightly resolved”.
Even the most wicked and sinful person can be initiated into this path of the SIDDHA YOGA, provided he bears an ardent desire for liberation. After the initiation he becomes a pilgrim, eligible to treat (follow) the path leading to the blissful state of Divinity. The pilgrim of the Divine Path can be in future a leader of the seekers. It is the strong will of the spiritual master that works and brings about a great change in the behaviour of an aspirant. Hence with due respects and regards to the resolve (will) of the spiritual master, an aspirant should strictly adhere to the rules and discipline of the path. The awakening of the Serpent Power (Divine Power), brings about the change (transformation) in the behaviour of an aspirant. Many aspirants, after initiation, have observed that they have developed a desire to follow a virtuous life. By the grace of the Divine Power (Mother Goddess) – an aspirant achieves an easy and speedier progress in the spiritual path. There is complete change (transformation) in their personality; and the rules of the path are observed easily by them, by the grace of God.
- A Golden Opportunity for the Youth:
The SIDDHA YOGA is especially a golden opportunity for the youth who have been trapped into addictions and are unable to get rid of them, in spite of their great and sincere efforts to do so. Those who have failed to curb their habit of addiction for them and such disheartened and discerning youth who would follow the path carefully and continuously will certainly find it to be a positive cure for their malady born out of their frailties and accumulated by indiscrete actions. These dejected persons would find the path of the SIDDHA YOGA a valuable weapon which will help them in axing the root of a tree of bad habits.
- The SIDDHA YOGA – A master key to the Supreme Bliss:
The human body is originally a form of Supreme Consciousness (Universal Spirit). It is a gift of God assigned to a human being to uncover the layers enveloping the individual spirit and to establish its unity with the main causal luminous consciousness (universal spirit). It is necessary to remove by all means, these layers which have been accumulated as a result of good or bad deeds of the past births. In due course of time, having got rid of all these layers, and darkness of ignorance having been dissolved, the aspirant becomes eligible for attaining self-realization.
- This easy path of the SIDDHA YOGA frees aspirants from the three bondages sprung from nature:
Every individual ordinarily undertakes activities under the influence of three bondages (attributes) namely, Purity (Sattwa), Passion (Rajas) and Inertia (Tamas).
Under the influence of these binding attributes an individual performs good or bad deeds. In this path when the aspirants sits for meditation , keeping the body in a relaxed position and with all body totally submitted to the will of the spiritual master, and his mind becomes stable, being engaged in the automatic breathing. After the initiation, the aspirant gradually frees himself from the bondages of the three attributes.
It means that there is a difference between making the mind steadfast by deliberate efforts and achieving the steadfastness of mind gradually and automatically.
- Renunciation of Good and Evil actions, ideas and qualities:
As stated earlier, the spirit (consciousness), the basic nature of human beings, is enveloped by the layers of the deeds of the past births. The awakening of the Serpent Power (Divine Power) is the most powerful weapon to remove all those layers of the impressions (imprints) of the deeds of the previous births. The awakening of the Serpent Power (Divine Power) is the most powerful weapon to remove all these layers of the imprints (impressions) of the deeds of the previous births. Ordinarily it is a known fact that in order to be a true devotee of the God (Lord), one has to give up all evil habits, and one has to give up good things also. It may appear a little strange. However, it is quite necessary to attain the spotless and stainless stage of perfection. The LORD KRISHNA advises his dear disciple ARJUNA to renounce both good and bad to attain the stage of perfection, in Chapter twelve in verse no.17 of the GEETA:
“He who renounced good and evil, and is rapt in devotion, is dearer to me”.
- No Return Journey Ticket : (Uninterrupted Spiritual Practice):
In the path of the SIDDHA YOGA the most important feature of the spiritual practice is that, it is the prime duty of an aspirant to get acquainted with all rules of this path before he is initiated. By the grace of the spiritual master, when the spiritual power is transmitted to him, he begins to experience the physical movements. As stated before, the Divine Power undertakes the work of removing all the obstructive layers on the spirit (consciousness). If all the layers of the impressions of the past deeds are not removed by the spiritual practice of the present birth and some remain unfulfilled, in that case they shall get removed in the next birth. Thus in this path there may be occasional stoppage but there is no Return Ticket (no turning back).
- Inner Purification is the Solution to all problems: (The Impact of SIDDHA YOGA on the Life of an Aspirant):
After the initiation, it has been noticed that due to the impact of the initiation, all the nerves in the
body of an aspirant get purified.
It has been observed that the inner life of an aspirant body brings remarkable change in the outward life of an aspirant. Absolute freedom from diseases, alertness in one’s own work, progress in studies, freedom from addictions, the mind remains always in a joyful state, happening of some impossible events in the life etc.
It is the earnest desire of the author that more and more people should derive the greatest benefits from this unparallel discipline of the SIDDHA YOGA. All should achieve complete fulfilment in their life’s goal. Having benefited by following this path, they are requested to inform other aspirants about this path for their welfare.
Finally, I humbly pray at the lotus feet of Brahmaleen Revered Shri Loknath Tirth Swami Maharaj to bless all the human beings for their peace, prosperity and happiness and help us all in fulfilling the ideal of:
“Let all be the followers of the SIDDHA YOGA”
May you all be liberated from the worldly worries, May you all experience the presence of the Lord dwelling in the hearts of all, by following the path of the SIDDHA YOGA.
