Jnana Anjana: Enlightening Eyeliner
Sadashiva reveals in Sri Guru Gita to Devi:
ajñāna-timirāndhasya jñāna anjanaśalākayā | cakṣurunmīlitaṁ yena tasmai śrigurave namaḥ || 59 ||
"The One, who removes the blinding darkness of the eyes, caused by the absence of true liberating knowledge, by applying jñāna-anjana, the sacred black eye-liner anointing the three eyes, which is of the essence and bio-energy of pure knowledge, and awakens the all-pervasive infinite eye, cakṣuḥ, the intra-organ through which 'all that is' is seen, onto that Sri Guru, I surrender."
For ages, this secret inside the Sri Guru Gita was hidden from even the greatest scholars. The JnanaAnjana was an initiation given from Guru to disciple, Shiva to Devi, to achieve enlightenment. Shiva himself clearly dictates how to make this in the Agama.
The hint is the word "chakshuroon", the plural form of the word. In Sanskrit there are three conjugations - the singular, dual and plural. If Shiva meant only two eyes, He would have used the dual form of the word. But here, He uses the plural form which indicates that He means all three eyes. From this auspicious beginning, the eyeliner evolved into the cosmetic that it is today.
Unfortunately, the liberating aspects of eyeliner were lost and only the bare bones are left now.
On the night of Guru Poornima (2016), under the gaze of the full Moon in Ananda Puri courtyard, The Avatar™ brought this tradition and original science of JnanaAnjana back to life. The participants watched him bless another silver plate once again. He passed it around for those around him to wear on their eyes. THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM told them about the incredible power of this paste. He told them that Maataa Vibudananda Devi used to give this to him for his exams.
"You don't need to take any exam. Just take this and put it on the four corners of your paper. It will look like a complete paper to your teacher," she would say, and then send him. Young THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM would go and return in a matter of half hour for a two hour exam.
JnanaAnjana is applied on betel leaves, stone slabs and even mirrors to turn them into incredible spiritual machines. When applied on a stone slab, one can see galaxies and planets that are beyond the capacity of modern telescopes. As he described this, the participants began to see the highly advanced society that once existed on Earth. And slowly, everyone began to hope that with THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM, it is possible to raise the human civilization to that state once again.
THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM explains the ancient method of preparing JnanaAnjana, as described in the Agamas:
"It is actually an alchemy science where with the pure ghee, pure cotton wick is used and the lamp is lit, energized through the awakened Third Eye of an Avatar or Enlightened Master. His very bio-energy is instilled in that fire and that smoke which comes out of that fire is captured in a silver vessel and pure desi ghee is added. An alchemy product called JnanaAnjana is prepared. That JnanaAnjana applied on the three eyes detoxifies your eyes and raises your frequency. It makes you understand the whole Maya Matrix. It is an alchemy science to master the Maya Matrix."
