Dark side of cosmos

Dr Percy Seymour writes  on page 23 of his book, "Dark matters ..." That research in the area of cosmic electrodynamics tells us that the flow of the fluids alters the structure of the magnetic fields, and this in turn alters the flow of the fluid.
In gurbani Sant Kabir mentions about altering the flow in the symbolic language  'ulti Ganga Bahai' and another shabad where he says' sas ghar soor Samai meaning sun( something in the 3rd chakra, near na bhi) reaches where the moon resides normally (between 5th/6th chakra). When this happens, a person becomes pavan ahari, and doesn't rely on food for sustainace anymore; instead a drop of liquid (Amrit) drips from the back of the palette. This must mean that the body's magnetic field also changes at this time. When a female reaches this stage, they say that her menstrual cycle stops and she can no longer bear a child, nor does she have any physical desires such as sex anyway. Such a person, stops showing the signs of ageing after this process starts in the body. This is the true amritpan that gurbani wants us all to enjoy.

Guru Nanak and his companions - wish I was one of them.

Man Hali Kirsani Karni
Dharam Pani Tan Ket
Naam Beej, Santokh Suhaga
Rakh Garibi Ves.


On my way to work today, while I was singing the above hymn and chanting Waheguru naam, I was overwhelmed with emotions and starting singing the following

Ham Kukar Tere Darbar

O God, I am a Dog at your door.

I use to get very offended at this shabad, as a teenager, thinking one does not have to humiliate himself this low to receive God's Grace. I know understand the desperation to meet and be with Waheguru, see his Darbar / home and how much I would love to simply be God's dog, if that's what will give me a place to stay there forever.(Hopefully a cute one like my Golden Retriever, Oliver that everyone loves). I feel this way after I read Betty Eddie's book 'Embraced by the light' and now know, how much Love and Peace is in God's presence.

I remembered my conversation with Bhai Amolak Singh ji of England, who visted Woolgoolga Sikh Temple /Gurdwara last year. He asked me why I meditate and what is it that I want. I told him I don't want any materialistic things, I just want to see what Guru Nanak saw. Amolak Singh thought that was a big ask and probably an unrealistic expectation. I shared only a tiny bit of my experience with Guru Nanak and what he showed me. I told him that I was confused about why Guru first showed me a figure that I thought was Lord Shiva / Shankar. What I saw afterwords was magical. I am still hanging out for such magic to happen again.

Today, I thought about it in a bit more depth. I not only want to see what Guru Nanak saw in the spiritual world but also want to visit all those spiritual realms and experience them. After that I want to be with Guru Nanak forever. May be Mardana is also with him. Then the thought of what use am I to their team made me cry. I can't sing or play any instrument efficiently enought to be part of their team. Would they want a devotee like me who loves to listen to perfect kirtan, hang around them?

I hope that Guru Nanak is listening to the countless singers singing the praises of God and enjoying the sound of musical instruments. Betty Edding mentioned that spirits in there do different things - some make the spiritual cloth, some are the warriors waiting to help. I want to be with the singers.

I enjoy Surinder Singh Nanaksar Delhi Wale's Asa Di War everyday. I can't wait to walk over to hear his kirtan. I am so blessed to have this opportunity. He really is a perfect singer. All the singers in the Waheguru's darbar must be of his caliber.

Today was a great day. Although I couldn't do deep meditate at Asa Di War time as I usually do, I am happy that I enjoyed listening it from 5.30 -6.30am and then went to the Sikh Temple for Sukhmani Sahib path - recitation from 7.45 - 8.30am and then went to work. What a great morning.

Hopefully while alive I will be able to hear more of the Anhat Shabad. I truly want to taste the Ambrosial Nector that comes up from the Navel area upto the palate and tastes like honey. I have seen a Sikh tasting that Amrit at my cousins house in Patiala, India. I want to be like that Sikh.

Gur shabadi gobind gajya

In Gurbani, some of the meditation experiences have been mentioned.

Gur shabadi gobind gajya

Hukami Varsan Lage Meha

Bin Badal Barkha Hoi

Damani Damke

Amrit nam boond mukh pai

Amrit nam chale jap nala

First vibration of the word makes the thundering noise?
The lightning happens within.
Then with His Hukam /order, the rain starts to pour.
Then comes the Amrit/ drop of nector from the palate.

I had heard that some people get scared and stop doing meditation. I couldn't understand then what was scary about meditation. Its years later when I have started meditating, I saw the lightning. Yes I was scared, but not of the lightning but not that it was happening but rather the fact that I knew that I wasn't ready to receive.
I had read that it can go sideways through Ida or Pingala nadis instead of the desired path - sushmina nadi which gives enlightenment. I did stop serious meditation for the next few days to pacify the energy. This is when I came across the article which mentioned that you can't stop it. If you try to stop the energy once activated, you can get sick or worse die. I had read the you should never try to call for the kundalini to happen and should never hurry. I think I was desperate last Jan to experience something and due to my deep desire, it opened.

Gurbani says,
Sahaje hee sach samaya

Sahej mile so mil rahe.

This indicates that to stay connected forever, it must happen slowly. Now that the kundalini has settled down, I feel desperate for expereinces that do not involve kundalini. When will I experience the following?

Gur shabadi gobind gajya

Hukami Varsan Lage Meha

Bin Badal Barkha Hoi

Amrit nam boond mukh pai

Amrit nam chale jap nala

I want these experiences now. I have been waiting for too long. Guru Nanak Dev Ji, give me what you gave to Guru Arjan dev ji, Guru Ram Das ji, Guru Amar Das ji and other gurus. I keep coming across these lines of gurbani that tell me clearly what these Gurus expereinced and loved, cherished and wanted more of. They keep saying that in their shabads. Why can't people read and understand that Gurus are sharing their meditation experiences with us in these shabads?

Amritpan - Drinking the nectar from the palate

I read in the Kundalini yoga book about Amritpan. Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture and the present Guru of Sikhs also has hymns mentioning the drinking of this nectar. This should not be confused with the baptism ceremony in which initiating Sikhs are physically given Amrit to drink. Amritpan mentioned in the hymns refer to the state of meditation in which raindrop like nectar (swantiboond) drops from the palate.

I had a deep desire to see a living person drink this amrit and my desire was fulfilled on the 21st Dec, 2009. I was in Patiala, Punjab, India attending an Akhand Kirtani (See AKJ sect of Sikhs) program at my cousins house. The man sitting over the Guru Granth Sahib had his eyes closed and was tasting something in his mouth. Then his whole body shook for a minute or so and then he laughed so loud uncontrollably. I watched him while everyone else was busy singing and meditating. Amazingly, no one noticed what he was doing. I would have also missed it, if I didn't unintentionally open my eyes, just a few minutes before the program finished. He was doing in meditation what gurbani explains as
Rang Hasse Rang Rove, Chup Bhi Kar Jai
Parvah Nahin Kise Keri, Bajh Sache Naye.

He Laughs one minute, then cries the other and then becomes silent as well.
He is not concerned about anyone watching him. His only concern is the True God's name.

I later met him and asked for advice on how I could achieve good results as himself. He suggested to never talk about my meditation experiences with those who don't practise much. Doing so will hinder my progress. He explained that it is like a married couples relationship. The couple is not to disclose the intimate moments to others. Same way what happens in a meditation session is your relationship with God, not to be disclosed to others. He suggested that I keep practicing. He Said, "Just like in the rain there is only one special drop that the bird Babiha can consume but it must rain first for that special drop to arrive. Keep meditating and during the session, keep talking to your Guru (not physical) and keep telling him whatever feelings you are having at the time. As far as blessing, he said that only True Guru has the power of blessing not someone so low as myself. So keep praying to the Guru, pointing towards the Guru Granth Sahib, to help you.

I am so thrilled to meet this guy. At least I know that its not only bookish knowledge and that it is possible to do amritpan. In my earlier post, I had metioned how I approached a so called saint that visited Australia and asked him about amritpan and he didn't know a thing about it. I was deeply disappointed that he couldn't offer any advise that I started doubting if any Sikhs these days know anything about deep meditation. I know now that there are plenty of them who are having great results.
