My Spiritual Guru…

It happens one fine day in May 1997 at a Meditation center in Madras (Now known as Chennai), when my friends and myself where looking for way to find out “How to concentrate on studies and score more on exams” (That was the reason, to be honest). We ended up going to this place where the master thought us simplified physical exercise since maintaining of good health is important for exploring spiritual life.

Though we did not get the answer for questions (how to improve the concentration power) we ended up doing the physical exercise for couple weeks and we got “Initiation” (The first stage in SKY meditation). That is the moment, we see the change, the change that you can feel differently and difficult to explain. Since then I practice SKY.

I would like to dedicate this Blog for our beloved guru Vethathiri Maharishi and our beloved SKY Practitioners
Note:Some of the information on these articles is taken from various books from Venthathiri publications.

Vethathiri Maharishi was born in 1911 in an indigent weaver's family in South India. Though he had very little formal schooling, in his later life he became a qualified physician in Ayurveda, Siddha, and Homoeopathy. Several years of intense meditation led to his enlightenment at the age of 35. Vethathiri led the life of a householder until he was 50, and then changed the course of his life from being a businessman to teaching and writing about his experiences of divine revelations. He published many books in English and Tamil. Between 1972-1993, he visited the USA, Europe, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Mexico. He conducted courses; educational curricula need to include the teaching of the “cause and effect” as a law of nature, (e) a world without war must be ensured to fully utilize all the available resources for the benefit of humanity and to eliminate untold suffering that wars cause.

Deep understanding of nature is essential for living in harmony with the law of nature, while balancing material well-being with spiritual progress. Vethathiri’s profound revelations led him to propose that the primordial state of the universe, which he called Absolute Space, has two inherent attributes that are latent: (a) Force or Gravity: Inexhaustible self-compressive force, the source of all forces, which acts everywhere, (b) Consciousness: The omniscient order of function in everything. As a result of the self-compressive nature of the absolute space, an infinitesimal volume of space begins to spin in a whirling motion, called a fundamental energy particle. The spinning action propels an outward repulsive force. The co-joining of the two forces, attractive and repulsive, is defined as Universal Magnetism. It fills the universe as a wave. It is the first phase of self-transformation of the absolute space from being to becoming. As a result of self-compressive force, fundamental energy particles group to form atoms of different elements that produce different masses in the universe with all their wonderful attributes. In living beings, the fundamental energy particles form Life Force. The associated wave is called Bio-magnetism. It constantly transforms into pressure, sound, light, taste, smell and mind, and maintains all the physical and psychic functions.

In summary, the existence of universal and bio-magnetism is the consistent element that permeates throughout the universe and connects all of its manifestations. Magnetism furnishes the foundation for unifying self, society and nature, for bridging the gap between modern science and India’s perennial philosophy, and for humans to balance their material lives through spiritual progress.

Finally, my sincere thanks to Vethathiri Publications for providing me with information. You can visit them at http://www.vethathiri.org/Home/
