ANANT KI OR: BY RAMACHANDRA – Review by Sri. M.P Pandit

Towards the Infinite is a remarkable document of spiritual significance. The Infinite reveals itself infinitely and the present book is an interesting and yet authentic record of the spiritual realization and knowledge gained by the author in pursuit of a Raja Yoga under the guidance of his Master, Samarthaguru Sri Ramachandraji of Fathehgarh.

Real Knowledge, Jnana, says the author, is not something to be learnt from books or heard from others. It is a thing to be experienced and made part of oneself. And such a Knowledge of the self, God and the world can only be got by an intensive yogic effort under a Guruwho embodies that Knowledge. The writer goes direct to his subject and expounds his perceptions and realizations in three chapters: Jnana Prakarana, Knowledge; Granthi Prakarana, The Knots; Antima Dasha Prakarana, The Final State(of Beatitude). In brief:

The world is a product of a dynamic Movement that arose in the Static Idea or Poise of the Supreme. It has been graded creation with successive levels of descent down which the individual emanations of God have descended and up which they are to ascend back to the State Ultimate which is a state of Absolute Peace and Bliss. Man is situated in the intermediate zone between the Highest and the lowest. His heart reflects this mid-status in as much as here is the modus of the conscious and unconscious states of Existence and it is there that the one is to be separated from the other. That is why, the author adds, one is enjoined to concentrate and meditate in the Heart.

This Yoga is a sustained discipline to rise into each successive state or level of Consciousness, identify oneself with it, integrate it with one’s own developing consciousness before emerging into the next higher state till one attains to the plenary State above states. These are the levels or Knots, Granthis (as the author terms them) which are not to be cut asunder but resolved. He describes thirteen of them in all. Beginning with (1) the state of awareness of a divine lordship over all existence and a certain inrush of vital energy, the Yogin proceeds step by step through further stages of (2) divine light exuding a sense of lightness and goodness all round; (3)glimpse of the Soul and experience of natural clarity; (4) a higher light warm with True Love, connected with the element of Fire giving mastery over Agni Tattva; (5) Peace – giving mastery over Vayu Tattva; - This Vayu however is different from the ordinary Vayu and is immensely more refreshing; (6) change in the nature of the luminosity and a pronounced lessening of the hold of Matter; (7) Purity and Power in a concentrated form capable of neutralizing the impact of gun-shot and more powerful than the celebrated Sri Krishna Chakra; complete experience of Aham Brahmaasmi; (8) Peace and Solidity in which the world looks a dream and there is the rise of real Vairagya; (9) commencement of contact with the Infinite, Bhuma, new birth and a spontaneous adoration of the Lord; (10) growth into the nature of the Lord; (11) removal of all avarana, screen, and glimpse into the Reality; (12) subtler than the subtlest of our states: before this stage of vividity and brilliance our most rarefied altitudes of the mind look gross; (13) the total disappearance of Maya and the revelation of Life. Life, nothing but a state of Life. This is the prelude to the final emergence into the summits of Transcendence which words can never describe. One who attains this state of super-consciousness has his will totally identified with the Divine Will. His Will is infallible; it is self effective. But such persons, says the author, are rare; there can be only one such at a time and it they who mould the destiny of the universe.

The author gives interesting evaluations of the spiritual stature of figures renowned in Indian spiritual history, while describing the Siddhis vouchsafed to the yogin in tapasya and prophesies that better times are ahead for the bleeding humanity of today.

Much in the book is corroborated by the spiritual Wisdom recorded in scriptures like the Upanishads, yoga treatises etc; as to what appears to be new, the author invites the readers to verify for themselves by taking to the practice of this Yoga.

An uplifting book with a positive Message.

The Great Master Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, U.P India has given humanity a splendid message through the book Ten Commandments which he claims was revealed to him in a Superfine state of Super consciousness. As against many of the new paradigm approaches to spirituality which simply would have us change the way we think about the world, ask us to think holistically instead of analytically, ask us to believe in a world of systems and the great web of life instead of the Newtonian world, which are coming even as mushrooms, here we find a Master informing us of a Authentic spirituality which leads us not to an attempt at transforming the world differently but transforming our consciousness.

He makes such a transformation possible by a process of Pranahuti that enables the recipient transport himself to the spiritual planes where he is in direct awareness of the base or reality. The Commandments of the Master are simple and can be easily followed by those who are determined to practice spirituality than those who would be interested in the philosophical or psychological insights it might grant. The understanding of the work of the Master, by Pujya Sri K.C. Narayana a direct disciple of the Master who has been in the path himself moving and helping others to move on to different layers or levels of spirituality for over 4 decades is a practical guide to the system based on his direct experience which he prefers to call Imperience.

This book is not just a book of do's and don'ts or yet another book on ethics. These commandments have nothing in common with the commandments that were given to Moses. The practice of the commandments of the Master is imperative for any one who wants to move into the realms of spirituality and the guide here is trying to stress the importance of meditation as a means for following the commandments rather than the other way about as in other systems.

Practice leads to experience - this is the way it is explained in all other systems, here the author of the book along with the Master give a call, to first have experience (Imperience) and then assert that the practice gets into proper dimensions and the way to realization is made smooth.

The book 'Efficacy of Raja Yoga' by Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj is a totally new presentation of the system of Raja yoga of sage Patanjali modified to suit the needs of the modern man. This book " Practice and Efficacy of Sri Ramchandras' Raja Yoga is an intimate sharing of the understanding of the practical aspects of sadhana by a sincere seeker.

Pujya Sri K.C. Narayana has been practicing and propagating this system of yoga for 4 decades and presents here the vital aspects of sadhana. Sri Ramchandraji in his modified Raja yoga asks aspirants to start their practice with a meditation on the heart asserting that is the place where we find the similar condition to that which was obtaining at the time of start of creation and states an obvious fact of it being the meeting place of activity and inactivity.

He broadly categorizes the various states of consciousness as relating to the heart, mind and the centre and calls the regions of such consciousness as Heart region, Mind region and Central region.

The Master has located 2 points in the chest region called A and B and suggested meditation over these points to control the sensual cravings. Pujya Sri K.C. Narayana asserts that he found by sincere practice of these meditations he has been able to put the beast in him under control and was enabled to live a life of Satya, Ahimsa, Asteya, Aparigraha and Brahmacharya more easily and any swerve in the path was able to be rectified by strictly following these meditations.

He also asserts in this work that the practice of the commandments of the Master is more easily possible by following these meditations strictly. He appeals in this work that others may try and benefit from this boon to humanity which has been struggling to over come the pulls of the vital and physical bodies.

This book presents a dynamic approach for spiritual upliftment of human consciousness. The human psyche has been struggling to rid itself of the clutches of bestial consciousness and has been meeting with more failures than successes through the human history. The blend of the animal, human and divine in the consciousness of an individual and the struggle or inter play of these has been the drama of human life.

The attempts to divinise and/or humanize the consciousness made through culture, tradition, science and religion have met with varying proportions of success and the struggle is on.

The time has come when divinity chose to interfere in this endeavor and through the decent of Sri Ramchandra of Shahjahanpur it has found a way to the heart of all human beings to support and supplement the individual effort for transformation.

The book "Towards Infinity" of Sri Ramchandra is the road map of the Path of grace. The spiritual journey of the aspirants is traced broadly through 13 knots located in the human frame and these points have little in common with the conventional and mostly misunderstood and misinterpreted centers or lotuses going by the name of Shat Chakras.

The journey starts from the centre located in the chest region about 3 fingers width from the left nipple towards the sternum and ends in the 13th knot located near the occipital bone in the head. The author mentions 4 different stages of mergence in each knot which are better understood through practice.

The commentary on this book, by Pujya Sri K.C. Narayana who has practically experienced the various stages and states of consciousness in his journey to the Infinite has given a lucid explanation of the various stages of progress in human consciousness.

This book gives an account of the Rings of Splendor a subject which was not covered by the Master himself and he seeks other aspirants to check for themselves the facts of experience he states in the book. He has also located the various knots including one more called Saraswathi in the human frame, which is an improvement over the original work. This book is first of its kind in the study and evolution of consciousness. This work could change the way of looking at the problem of human evolution to the Divine and related spiritual and psychic research.

The book 'Dawn of Reality' is an exposition of the book "Reality at Dawn" written by the Master Sri Ramchandraji which is a good introduction to the system of sadhana advocated by him. This book tries to explain the system in simple language. Brig. Krishnaiah a systematic practitioner of the system has given a lucid and clear exposition of the system.

The original of the Master covers a broad spectrum of topics starting from Religion to Realization. The topic on Religion has been extensively dealt with by the author to stimulate the reader to thinking with a fond hope that one rises above level of Religion and starts embracing spirituality. The topics on 'Goal of Life', 'Ways And Means' and 'Spiritual Training' are covered with an understanding that arises from practical experience.

The importance of the quality of a spiritual trainer is well stressed and it is made clear that no one can claim to be a guide unless he has the capacity for offering Pranahuti is well brought out.

The Master presents a fresh view that 'Faith', 'Constant Remembrance' and 'Self Surrender' are states of consciousness that come to the seeker as one proceeds on the path of spirituality rather than the common view that they are practices in the spiritual path. The Master in his work presents a different picture of various coverings over the soul and as contrasted to five sheaths ( Kosas)

He presents a picture of 23 concentric circles, 5 of Maya or Illusion, 11 of Egoism and 7 of Splendour that cover the soul and the path is detailed as a movement from the circle 1 to circle 23 before one reaches the Centre. A thoroughly new and fresh presentation of the path that is better understood through practice of PAM.

The book " Sahaj Marg Philosophy" of the great Master Sri Ram Chandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur(U.P)is more of the nature of compilation of the earlier works of the Master than a new one.

Dr. S.V.Raghavan a person who has been in the path for over 3 decades in his attempt to unfurl the wisdom of the Master in the book states that the Masters work 'is an unorthodox work in philosophy in the sense that its objective is not to comment upon the Prasthana traya, namely Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and the Brahma sutras and establishes itself as another school of thought such as Advaita. Rather the Sri Ramchandras' Raja Yoga itself is a new Darshana arising out of the super conscious perception of the propounder.'

He states further ' the profound contribution of the Master in the field relates to His revelations as to the real nature of knowledge and ignorance, the state of realization and the means thereof, the theory of parallelism and invertendo and the stages of progress on the road to the Ultimate destination.' The way in which the new philosophy is unveiled by the author is unique as it is based on his scholarship, learning and practical application of the methods of the system.

This book by Dr.A.Subbarao is a well-compiled collection of the messages of Rev.Lalaji Maharaj of Fategarh, U.P India, the guru of the Revered Masters Babuji Maharaj received in states of super consciousness as recorded by the Master Ramchandraji Maharaj in his autobiography published post humously by the sons of the Master.
