Deeper Truths of Inner Awakening

Listening to and reading the Master's words cleanses the conscious mind, solving your mental problems and calming your emotions. His wisdom inspires your seeking and encourages you to grow. Practicing the meditation techniques cleanses the unconscious mind and guides you in your spiritual practice. Both technical knowledge and techniques lead to the psychological experience of the truth. They can be followed anywhere. But to receive the ultimate experience and let it settle physiologically in one's body, one comes to the Master and gets initiated into jeevan mukti.

'When we come in touch with his incredible presence, he just transmits this tremendous energy, and it stays in us, inside our very being.'

  • Mathieu Richer, geologist, Canada

'After attending energy darshan, I had a strong experience, what Swamiji calls 'satori'… when he touched my third eye, I closed my eyes and had a vision of the entire cosmos which was in me. This vision stayed with me for a long time.'

  • Alain Garnier, accountant, France

The word darshan literally means 'sight' or 'vision' of Divinity.

When the disciple is ready, just the sight or vision of the enlightened master inspires the transmission of spiritual clarity.

In truth, darshan is not a physical phenomenon, as the process is not bound by space. If you happen to read the words of a Master, and it causes a 'click' (a powerful transformation) in your life, you have indeed had the darshan of the Master, even if you have never met him before! What is significant here is that darshan can neither be given nor taken; it just happens. Just as the flower blooms naturally when the sun rises, darshan happens spontaneously. The power of darshan is beyond logic and simply cannot be estimated by our mind. In some people, darshan may have obvious effects like tears, laughter or instant spiritual clarity. In others, there is no apparent effect at that moment, but a silent process of transformation would have been initiated within. So during darshan, the only thing to remember is to remain open and flowing, and welcome one's own unique experience as a gift from the Divine!

Darshan: a vision of Divinity

'We spend a long time sitting with him… It is difficult to explain, but it is as if he raises us to another dimension through his simple presence, as if angels were coming down from heaven all over.'

- Liliana Zamarron, geologist, Mexico

'This morning, I understood something very clearly: my being is pure silence.'

The word upanishad is of tremendous significance in the master-disciple relationship. It means 'simply sitting with the Master'. Unlike darshan, upanishad is a physical sitting, but just as in darshan, the process is one of communion rather than communication.

The Master may speak elaborate truths on life and death, but the essence of the teachings transpires in the profound silence between his words. Even if the Master is not overtly teaching, the disciple is learning, just by being in the Master's presence and imbibing his body language. Through words the Master can only give you what you can relate to with your mind, through verbal associations. Only through silence can he actually take you to the state you have not experienced before – beyond the mind.

Upanishad happens every moment in the presence of an enlightened Master. It is a simple communion, in a loving ambience, between the overflowing fullness of the Master and the trusting receptivity of the disciple. The disciple is not doing anything; the Master is not doing anything. The Master is just being himself and the disciple is open. At every instance of upanishad, the disciple has a chance to glimpse a dimension of jeevan mukti.

This is one of the secrets which was understood and widely practiced in Vedic Bharat: the transmission of the Truth through a medium other than words. If you allow the Master, his silence penetrates your very core. His energy can transform your very being. It soothes your restlessness and heals you physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Upanishad: sitting with the Master

'I have been thinking about all of the things the initiations have done for me and how life has changed since. I used to feel as though my life was an overgrown garden: full of weeds and not allowing new growth and potentiality. Now my garden has been cleaned… it is a well-prepared ground

Every habit, addiction and emotion we have creates a neural-energy pattern in the brain. The repetition of these attitudes creates an unconscious pattern that manifests outside as a replica of the inner world. If we repeatedly use the same thoughts every day, we activate always the same parts of the brain: the 'mechanical part of the brain'. We attract in the outside world those frequencies with which we resonate internally. Through the repetition of the same patterns, we create a personality in response to the physical or emotional pains we have suffered in the past, and continue to

If we say that darshan happens by the grace of the Divine, deeksha happens by the direct grace of the Master.

Deeksha or initiation is the process wherein the Master prepares the disciple to receive, hold and radiate the truths he has received during darshan and upanishad. Very often, people have intense spiritual experiences in the presence of the enlightened Master, but when they leave his presence, the experiences fade away. This happens because their body and mind are unprepared to hold the tremendous energy of transformation. For a disciple with vitarka (openness and trust), the Master's presence can directly work on the obstacles created by the body-mind and hasten the process of transformation.

During Inner Awakening, participants receive five deekshas from Swamiji, each of which can bring about transformation in a different dimension of life: .

Nithya Dhyaan Deeksha (Initiation into Life Bliss): for physical health, emotional well-being and mental wellness

.Nirvikalpa Samadhi Deeksha (Initiation into Unclutching): for an engramless mental set-up that ensures stress-free living .

Bhava Samadhi Deeksha (Initiation into Living in Ecstasy): for a fulfilled life with vibrant relationships and a deep connection to the Divine .

Jeevan Mukti Deeksha (Initiation into Living Enlightenment): for a blissful, enlightened life and a healing presence in the world

.Ananda Samadhi Deeksha (Initiation into Radiating Enlightenment): for becoming a powerful source of bliss that can trigger spiritual growth in others as well

Deeksha: the transmission of the lamp

'Swamiji's grace and tenderness for all of us is a revelation… I'm witnessing unconditional love in action for the first time in my life.'

No matter how many people he works with, the beautifully combines various techniques and processes to reveal all your hidden dimensions.

First, the Master shares technical knowledge or intellectual understanding in the form of concepts and truths, clearing your doubts and inspiring you to explore the truth further. Then, we apply the techniques relevant to this knowledge. They provide you guidelines to follow which cleanse your unconscious mind and prepare you for the process of initiation.

Technical knowledge and techniques are elements that can be received and practiced at home, when you listen to or read the Master's message, or practice the meditation techniques.

But the process which is the essence of the Inner Awakening Program is initiation, which requires the presence of the Master.

Along with technical knowledge and techniques, the Master's support, energy and grace inspire and guide the disciple on the path of Living Enlightenment.

Inspiration on the path

I could easily comprehend. And he made it entertaining too! I was hooked.'

From time immemorial, wise men of all cultures have pondered deep this simple yet intangible question of what is within us. 'Who am I?' has been the refrain of many sages. Many dedicated their lives to this search, and did find the answer. Their answers were experiential.

The scriptures of all great religions are the expressions of these wise Masters which convey their experience of enlightenment and help us reach the same realization.

The Masters moved on. Nonetheless, the scriptures persisted over time, and their words remained as written and conceptual testimonials of the truth. Their core meaning was altered down the ages, the whole mental set-up of civilization changed and the right understanding of the truth was lost over time. What we understand today of the scriptures is very different from what actually happened at the time.

Scriptures lost their live testimony, which was the presence and body language of the Master who directly initiates the disciple into the Truth. When they are alive, the Masters themselves are the embodiment of these scriptures. They are their very walking expression! Masters appear again and again on planet Earth only to reconfirm these truths and ensure that they are experienced by others as well.

Master is a living scripture

'Everything is done out of deep love and compassion – only for the growth of the being. Each being is unique; only someone who has gone beyond the play of the mind can see through the countless plays of the mind and correctly guide one on the path to transcending the mind – only a Master can show the way to master the mind! It is amazing to see how the Master can function in so many dimensions! He is the ultimate blend of East and West – the richness of the Vedic tradition and state-of-the-art modern technology!'

How he reveals secrets, yet allows mysteries to remain and authenticity, expressed with great laughter.'

mysteries… a combination of mysticism

Epitome of love and compassion

'To me, the most amazing thing about Swamiji is his sincerity and tenderness for all of us. His sheer intensity and mature commitment mixed with utter innocence, sense of humor, generosity and complete practicality. These are all clicks for me - so deep, so real…'

He makes you feel like you're the only person here…

Each truth you will be contacting in this program can trigger powerful processes in you – emotional, mental, sometimes even physiological. We need to give time for these processes to settle in you! It takes time for the complete transformation to happen. For any idea to become an experience in you, it takes at least 21 days. Understanding period:With any new idea, the first 7 days will usually be the understanding period, when your old way of thinking continuously rises up to resist the new understanding.

For example, suppose you are introduced to a truth, 'If I am non-violent towards everybody, the whole world will be non-violent towards me.' The first 7 days, your typical response will be, 'No, no, even if I try to behave that way, how can I really forgive everybody? And if I do that, won't everybody start exploiting me?' All kinds
