Guest guest Posted December 11, 2004 Report Share Posted December 11, 2004 Methods & Practices Babaji Taught: Bhakti Yoga (Prayer, devotion and worship) Karma Yoga (work offered to God) Japa Yoga (constant repetition of Om Namah Shivaya) The Mahamantra, the most powerful mantra that Babaji gave humanity. This is the sound of creation. It means: I surrender to God - I bow to God - I take refuge in God. Fire Yagna The Divine Energy (shakti) called fire, purifies the energy body , balances the atmosphere, electromagnetic field and psychic fields. Babaji taught that the daily ceremony of feeding the fire all of the five elements, fruits, incense, seeds, and ghee (clarified butter) while silently reciting mantras ending with "swaha" (which means "I offer to the fire") will restore you to the experience of joy. Mundan (pronounced 'Moondun')Head shaving, an old religious practice. Mundan symbolizes a deep and personal surrendering to God that works on both psychological and spiritual levels to process away false concepts and identifications about ourselves. Babaji taught that, done twice a week, on Sundays and Wednesdays for nine months, it will heal 108 diseases and reverse the aging process. Water Purification (bathing twice daily) Getting Rebirthed in water not only releases your birth trauma, but clears your conscious and subconscious emotional, mental, and physical negative beliefs out of your body on a cellular level. Babaji supported people individually if they wanted to use this purification technique. Babaji Said: "I don't want you to talk about truth, simplicity and love, I want you to live it." "We are all equal, despite the country we come from, and national differences should be ignored. We are all one with each other and with God." "Of greatest importance is that the repetition of God's name increases daily. In this way, your heart and mind will be purified." "The name of the Lord is like nectar; therefore it should be repeated constantly. The power of the mantra is infinite, it is more powerful than the nuclear bombs." "As you know, throughout the world there are factories of armaments which are being produced and stored to destroy mankind or cause damage to mankind. Similarly, Haidakhan Vishwa Mahadham is a great factory, which has produced only one element - Om Namah Shivaya. "The energy of Om Namah Shivaya shall destroy all contradictory energies of hydrogen and atom bombs and will protect you. There are proofs in the scriptures, that it was the great Gautama Rishi who created the atom energy, and he has said clearly that the only thing that can conquer the atom energy is the Om Namah Shivaya mantra, by itself." "You should sing devotional music in a way that stirs the soul. It should evoke deep feelings. You should sing with love when you make music. It should touch the heart so that it leaves a memory on the mind. Whatever you do should have strength." "Create ashrams; as there are islands in the ocean, so should you create ashrams in the ocean of the material world." "You can only know me through love, Divine Love, love for God, without any selfish purpose." >From Babaji's 1984 Speech: "Love and serve all humanity. Help everyone. Be happy, be courteous. Be a dynamo of irrepressible joy. Recognize God and goodness in every face. There is no saint without a past and no sinner without a future. Praise everyone. If you cannot praise someone, let them out of your life. Be original, be inventive. Be courageous. Take courage again and again. Do not imitate, be strong, be upright. Do not lean on the crutches of others. Think with your own head. Be yourself. All perfection and every divine virtue are hidden within you. Reveal them to the world. Wisdom, too, is already within you. Let it shine forth. Let the Lord's grace make you free. Let your life be that of the rose. In silence, it speaks the language of fragrance. >From A New Year's Eve Message From Babaji Do not follow the way of evil, follow the way of light. Do not be like those who linger in the world. Hurry, take up your sword of Divine Truth, and fight against all evil. Arise! Cast off all negligence and idleness. Be Alert. Be Courageous. Be Diligent. Be Happy. Live in Truth, Simplicity, and Love. One who looks upon this world as a bubble or a mirage shall have life eternal. Come, look upon this world as the multi-colored chariot of a Rajah, which attracts the foolish, but where, in truth, there is nothing attractive or beautiful.
