OK, I just read it thanks. Nice place, perhaps someday we shall meet

there faith willing. How is it perhaps different from Shambala or

Buddha Pure Land?

i dont know abt buddha pure land but i feel siddhashram is not

different from shambala , i have read abt shambala few yrs back,

some how inside i have a feeling that its the same. i hope Buddha

should also be there too...

 

Becos i have read some where that Buddha is still active, and one can

communiacate to him. becos in that reference thati read a saint was

in communication with buddha , (that saint left the body in 1980's)

Jai Gurudev,

 

Hi all this is interesting article found regarding siddhashram,

which i beleive to most sense is true, Gurduev reffered in one of his

writing abt Vishudanandji....

 

proabably siddhabhoomi book would be a good one to buy too...

 

 

 

 

Hidden in a valley in the remote Himalayas, it is said, is Gyanganj,

a home for immortals. Call it Shambala, Shangri-La or Siddhashram,

believers say it is this celestial kingdom that shapes our destiny

 

It was during an impromptu meeting with intellectuals and seekers at

Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam's house in Delhi, India, that Sai Kaka

casually revealed: "I have been to Gyanganj several times over the

past half decade." Or, rather, he is taken there every time by a sage—

for spiritual instruction.

 

This instruction must be of a high order because the 50-plus, bearded

and white-robed Sai Kaka has now been teaching whoever approaches

him. The man from Sangli in the south-western Indian state of

Maharashtra, who studied with Swami Muktananda and Nisargadatta

Maharaj, is always on the move, having chosen not to raise an ashram

or an organization.

 

On questioning, he replies in chaste Hindi that Gyanganj exists on a

different plane, a higher dimension. But, yes, on the gross level it

has parallel locations in known places on earth.

 

So, is there a secret territory in our midst, which has uncannily

escaped all geographical surveys? A place that provides the perfect

environment and opportunities for spiritual evolution? A place from

where thousands of immortals and faultlessly sage beings plan the

evolution of the human race, in fact, of all sentient beings?

 

Down-to-earth empirical reality or just bad science fiction?

 

Well, the belief that such a place exists, camouflaged and secluded

somewhere in the deep Himalayas, has filtered down through Indian and

Tibetan traditions.

 

Contemporary references to it are plenty, as is the testimony of

people like Sai Kaka who declare they have been there. The belief in

a sequestered valley of immortals seems to be headed for immortality.

 

In Tibet, this legendary land of spiritual enlightenment is known as

Shambala, a Sanskrit word which to the Tibetans means "the source of

happiness". It is not heaven on earth but a mystical kingdom that

guards the most sacred and secret spiritual teachings of the world,

including the Kalachakra (Wheel of Time), the pinnacle of Buddhist

wisdom.

 

Buddhists trace Shambala to Gautama Buddha who is said to have

assumed the form of the Kalachakra deity before his death and

delivered his highest teaching to a group of adepts and gods in south

India. Among those present was King Suchandra, the first king of

Shambala, who wrote down the sermons and took them back with him.

 

Various Buddhist texts give instructions for finding Shambala, though

directions are obscure. It is assumed that only accomplished yogis

will find it. The kingdom is hidden in the mists of the snow

mountains and can be reached only by flying over them with the help

of siddhis or spiritual powers. James Hilton's novel, Lost Horizon,

about the lost kingdom of Shangri-La, was inspired by the legend of

Shambala. Shangri-La has since come to mean a remote, beautiful,

imaginary place where life approaches perfection; utopia, in short.

 

Shambala was not a figment of the imagination for Madame Blavatsky,

founder of the Theosophical Society. She considered it the abode of

the mahatmas or spiritual adepts, in the mountains of Tibet, Mongolia

and India. They live on through centuries in various incarnations,

perpetuating the knowledge of earlier, more spiritually advanced,

civilizations like the Egyptian and the Greek, and teach it to worthy

pupils.

 

 

One of these adepts, Koot Hoomi (or Kuthumi Baba, at least 500 years

old) was Blavatsky's guru.

 

In India, this secret, sacred land is known as Gyanganj or

Siddhashram. References to Gyanganj or secret ashrams can be found in

Hindu scriptures such as Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat. Guru Nanak

called it Sach Khand.

 

Closer to our time, Paramahansa Yogananda, in his celebrated

Autobiography of a Yogi wrote about meeting his guru's guru's guru,

Mahavatar Babaji, an immortal of great age who looks forever young

and continues to live in the Badrinath section of the Himalayas.

 

Babaji has also appeared to some other advanced seekers and is

believed to be connected with Gyanganj. For a comprehensive account

of Gyanganj, Sai Kaka directs you to the writings of Gopinath Kaviraj

who died in 1976. A former principal of the Government College of

Sanskrit in Benaras, Kaviraj wrote a book titled Siddhabhoomi

Gyanganj, which has been translated from Bengali into Hindi and

published recently by Bharatiya Vidya Prakashan.

 

Kaviraj's main source of information was his own guru, Swami

Vishudhananda, a Bengali who settled down in Benaras, a holy city in

India. Vishudhananda is believed to have sojourned many times in

Gyanganj where he mastered Surya Vigyan or solar science. Surya

Vigyan gave him powers to manifest objects or transform one object

into another by manipulating the sun's rays. In his autobiography,

Yogananda describes his meeting with Vishudhananda in Calcutta and

witnessing his feat of creating any perfume on demand out of thin

air. Paul Brunton in his book A Search in Secret India wrote that he

not only witnessed Vishudhananda create perfumes, but also bring a

dead bird back to life.

 

Dr Narayan Dutt Shrimali, a Jodhpur-based astrologer-tantrik-guru who

publishes Mantra-Tantra-Yantra Vigyan, a Hindi monthly, says he did

his sadhana in Siddhashrarn, where his name was Nikhileshwarananda.

It is there that he acquired occult powers. Later, his guru told him

that they wanted him to return to his householder's life and spread

the wisdom of Siddhashram. Literature published by him promises that

initiation by him is a passport to Siddhashram. But he refuses to

reveal more details of his Gyanganj connection.

 

Shrimali's and Kaviraj's accounts of Gyanganj are similar. They place

it mainly on a flatland to the north of Kailash-Mansarovar in Tibet.

It covers an area of many square miles and is surrounded by a lake

(or moat) with crystal clear water. There is a bow-shaped drawbridge,

which links Gyanganj to our world.

 

The Gyanganj end of this bridge has a gadget to lift the bridge when

desired. This gadget is operated by Surya Vigyan. Kaviraj names many

other places, scattered in India, as Gyanganj territory. The area on

the banks of Alaknanda river is where the siddhas roam. Mandakini's

riverbed is also very mysterious: spiritual giants down the centuries

have beheld celestial sights there. Thus, the entire region from

Rishikesh to Kailash and Yamunotri to Nandadevi is siddhaland. In

Bihar, many Buddhist siddhas frequent the Giridhkoot mountain. The

Nilgiris and Srisailam in south India, too, are known to harbor

secret ashrams. Arunachala hill in Tamil Nadu, where Ramana Maharshi

set up his ashram, is another siddhaland. In the west, Girnaur

mountain has seen siddha activity.

 

Teaching in arts and sciences including medicine, rasayan shastra,

music and astrology also goes on here. Indians, of course, do not

have a monopoly over Gyanganj. People from other parts of the world,

including many Tibetan lamas, live there too.

 

Sai Kaka adds that Gyanganj functions on all three levels: "On the

adhyatmic or spiritual level, it runs the universe. On the adhidevik

or celestial level, the earth and water elements are absent, enabling

very powerful activity. At this level, Gyanganj impacts on many

planes and the beings there.

 

"On the adhibhautic or the grossest level," he continues, "Gyanganj

siddhas provide guidance to human beings to initiate changes in the

spiritual and even social fields. Suppose a seeker is stuck somewhere

in his path, he could be guided in the form of an intuition, or some

kriya triggered in his subtle body or his guru is inspired to do the

needful."

 

Sai Kaka argues from his experience with, and knowledge of, Gyanganj,

that all's well with whatever is going on in human affairs. "Earlier

the suffering in the world would make me emotional, would pain me and

fill me with compassion. Now I realize that right and wrong, good and

bad exist on the relative plane—of mind, intellect and ego—and are an

interplay of the three gunas.

>From God's viewpoint, there is nonduality. Creation and dissolution

are part of the continual flow." Though there can be no evolution in

a flow, Sai Kaka concedes that Gyanganj is engaged in transforming

world consciousness. Maybe with the collective consciousness rising,

Gyanganj will become more manifest and easily accessible to human

beings.

 

For who would not want to visit the place where immortals live.

dear Anurag

> hey birendra is this article from book named "Siddhabhoomi"

 

 

No ! i got it from internet, but if i remember correctly, i had some

good referneces abt gopinath kaviraj, and his book on kundalini

awakening, besides 7-8 yrs back when i was desperately trying hard to

understand spritualism, i came across Theosophical society and the

writings abt Madam Blavatsky, i had chance to go thru her master work

'SECRET DOCTRINE' believe its very hard to understand and interpret,

until i believe you are spiritually evolved, i have to see how much i

can understand now , but i think its too difficult.... its very

intriuing book...

 

 

no i think you can buy the book from bharatiaya vidya prakashan, if

you happen to do so, let us know how u feel after reading that,

 

i have lot of respect for vissudanaji, Gurudev in his books accorded

lot of respect to him, if i correctly recollect he is used to be

called as 'kale kamli baba' in haridwar/rishikesh... i think there is

ashram too.. i dont know, but what came to me as a surpirse is that

gopinath kaviraj was his disciple, i never knew that before, i have

heard gopinath but i never heard abt his Guru, but yesterday article

shows his Guru is vissuadanadji, of which i know from Gurudev has

attained siddhashram, so indirectly i am in a way recommending

gopinath's books

 

i would probbaly if i get a chance take look at all gopinaths books

and buy if i like them and defenitely siddhaboomi will be the firts

one...

 

its nice to have heard details abt siddhashram from Gurudev, but a

complete book dedicated is astounding in prospect, probably that would

inspire us alwasy our destination which our beloved Gurudev wanted us

to attain. i know he will take care of us, but as u said 'LORD HELP

THOSE WHO HELPS THEMSELVES'.....

 

 

so good wishes to you

 

affectionately

 

Jai Gurudev

I really miss those days when Gurudev used to be , there was lot of

excitement, life was always bubbling , its the saddest thing of my

life that he is no more, when i think of it, i feel very sad....

my heart wails and weeps at that thought...

 

 

This world is full of pain,misery and hypocricy, if you dont find it

today,you will find it pretty soon, good things dont stay all along,

we dont have control of our lives, its too difficult to continue

without Gurudevs guidance....

 

 

i feel have Gurudevs guidance is the highest blessing that Lord can

give u....

 

i know gujurat is reeeling under this communal violence....

 

How immature is a human being, how foolish is fanaticism, when are

people going to understand the real relegion and live in peace.

 

 

All GUJURAT GURUBHAIS AND ISSPMEMBERS PLS TAKE CARE AND MAY LORD AND

GURUDEV BLESS YOU WITH GOOD POSITIVE THINGS IN LIFE

 

 

 

Love

 

Jai Gurudev

I believe, following the publication of that article there were many who started

approaching Gurudev and were enquiring about Siddhashram, its mysteries & facts.

In connection to that Gurudev had mentioned during his Pravachan that somebody

has just met him with such queries and he openly announces that, access to

Siddhashram is possible ......... for a determined and dedicated person it is

not an Impossible task. (This is all I remember)

Thanks,

Anupam
