THE SUPREME POWER

12.01.1998, Guntur Ashram


Radhasakhi is the rose which is inseparably linked with Radhaji. Radhasakhi came down as our Nanna for the welfare of human beings. He explained the divine verses from Sri Radhikopanishad.


" The Rig veda is an ancient veda. Let us see what this veda tells us about Radhaji. "


" Sanaka and other rishis who lived in the upper worlds prayed to Brahma. 'Oh Lord, who is the highest among all Gods? What are their powers? Which is the highest power that is the cause of creation?' Brahma replied 'My sons. I shall tell you a secret which should be spoken only to loving persons and devotees. It is a sin to speak about it to non devotees. "


" Sri Krishna is the greatest God. He is the complete God with all the six divine aspects. He is always worshipped by the gopikas and gopis along with Brinda Devi. He is the ruler of Brindavan. Sri Narayana is his personification only! He is the master of all the universes. He is beyond prakriti. He is eternal. He possesses many powers such as ahladini, sandhini, gyana, iccha, kriya etc (supreme ecstasy, control, knowledge, wish, action etc). Hladini power is the highest among all these powers. "


" Hladini power is equal to his inner soul. That power is Radha! Sri Krishna himself worships Her; his inner power. "


The next day Nanna started his speech on dhyana yoga.


" None can go there who do not possess bhava. You cannot get this bhava through any kind of sadhana. Only God must shower it on you. Bhava has no sadhana. Ordinary sadhana is being done by ego. You are only an ego today. Don't say that you are athma (soul). Man is in the state of coal, not fire. The quality of coal and fire are different. Coal has no heat and light. Earlier, the words uttered by maharishis actually happened! That was like fire. Today, though we curse hundreds of times, nothing will happen. Neither your curse nor blessing will come true. This is like coal. "


" Your blessings will be effective in the higher stage but man lost his powers and became debased to coal state. Man in this coal form cannot become fire though he chants thousands of divine names! For example, you may write with a coal on the wall. 'Hare Rama Hare Rama Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Sitaram Sitaram' for ten years. Still the coal will not become fire. There must be contact between fire and this coal. Without the touch of fire, coal will not burn. There is no chance. God's dham is in the highest divine plane. From there, you must come down; below, below, below even zero level. You must cross the avyakta, unmanifested level. Then what do you find here? Nothing! Only coal! "


" I asked Dr. Annie Besant about this. King Parikshit insulted the father of a 10 year old boy by throwing a dead snake on his neck. The boy cursed the king. 'You will die of snake bite exactly after one week. No Brahma will be able to save you.' His words were so powerful that nobody could save the king. Today even if hundred people curse together, there is no effect. All the hundred is just like coal! Hundred in place of one! That is the only difference. You must understand this point carefully. Today people speak out of ego, but nothing happens. In olden days, every word came true. "


" The Vedas narrate a story about a person who approached a Brahmavetha for Brahmavidya(scriptural knowledge of Vedic mantras and Upanishads). He gave him a cow and said 'Today you have one cow. When you attain thousand cows, you will become a Brahamavetha.' That man struggled a lot roamed in the forests and finally accumulated thousand cows. He came down near earth. As it was winter, he lit a fire to protect himself from cold. From that fire, great words were heard. 'Aham Brahmasmi' (I am Brahma!) See how his teacher's words came true. He got thousand cows and immediately became Brahmavetha. Their words had such potency. Today all that power is lost. Maybe one in million may have such power. Earlier, their word was like fire; nothing could stop them from coming true. Today, we are like coal so nothing happens. "


" Our India was so glorious at one time. The words of a 10 year old boy came true. It is not so today. Our pure and powerful country was invaded by Muslims who ruled India for 1000 years! Thousands of women were forced to wed Muslims. Their population grew, the glory of India declined; the power of people was lost. They removed Lord Siva's idol in Kasi and placed it below the steps of Jama masjid. They place their foot on Kasi Visweswara while climbing the steps. How disgraceful! There are no Gods in Kasi anymore; they left. We lost our powers since that time. When the powerful fire is converted into coal, God will not remain there. I asked Annie Besant why India fell to such a disgraceful state from its previous glory and power. During their 1000 years of ruling our county, the Muslims destroyed our pure religion; Today truth and righteousness have vanished. You see only deceit, lies and cheating everywhere. "


" My grandfather wrote a promissory note to somebody when he took Rs. 2000 from him. One day that man rushed to my house when my grandfather was having his lunch. 'This promissory note made by you expired. I realized it only now. My family has lost this money.' 'My note may have expired but my words have no expiry date. Let us make another note immediately. I will eat only after that.' He washed his hand, got the papers, made another note, signed on it and handed it over to that man. Only then he ate his food! Their words once uttered lasted forever. Today neither our notes nor our words are permanent; everything is transient and time bound. Words are not translated into actions. Man is not truthful today as he was in the past. The religious rituals practiced in the past had positive results. Today, there is nothing. It does not really matter whether a powerless man performs rituals or not. "


" Annie Besant also got the same doubt -'Why such a powerful and holy land like India descended to such a demeaned state. Her Guru, Madam Blavatsky gave the reply; she is a great yogini who wrote famous books on spirituality which many people cannot even understand! She wrote three volumes of 'Secret Doctrine'. She said that today we store our money and valuables in a safety locker but in the past, the maharishis (great sages) stored their hidden treasure of veda mantras securely. Each veda mantra had the potency of a live wire, an atom bomb. Nobody was aware of this truth. They created the bomb whenever there was a need! "


" Parasurama was all alone, yet he attacked each and every king of India and sacrificed them to the fire. Only one man had such tremendous power! Today that power is lost. After the Muslims invasion, the Britishers ruled the country for 400 years. They were paid a huge lumpsum amount by their country. Their stay and other comforts in India were taken care of by the British Government. Yet they committed so many atrocities, resorted to illegal activities and amassed property here. Why should they develop such negative thoughts when they had so much money? I was told that they collected Rs. 5 lakhs in cash to cancel a victim's 'sentence to death' and sign on his mercy petition. The Supreme Court judges were also upset that their judgement could be waived off with one signature on a mercy petition! There is no justice, even for President or Prime Minister! A Prime Minister, who is accused, flees from India to America. An arrest warrant is issued and he is arrested when he returns. How shameful! He gets a bail and is freed eventually. Where is justice? Where is truth? "


" The mantras are one of the three parts of the Vedas. Vedas have more mantras than the Upanishads. The mantras are the hidden treasure of the Brahmins and Kshatriyas who never revealed the mantras to anybody unless they had brahmatva. The mantras worked powerfully with their penance. They were able to suppress the pride and ego of anybody. That is how a 10 year old boy could suppress king Parikshit's pride. The king insulted a great sage by throwing a dead snake around his neck. The boy cursed the king that he would die of snake bite after a week. It happened just like that. The same parikshit who had the great fortune of God's darshan even when he was in his mother's womb could not evade the curse. "


" I decided to worship the deity mentioned in the Vedas. One of my disciples is working as an accountant in Bay Islands. He told me that during Ramzan, anybody who eats during fasting time is thrown in prison. All Islamic countries follow this common rule. We do not have any such rules. There is no value for religion here. People pose as Gods and amass wealth by playing with the people's sentiments. Recently another disciple working as a chartered accountant in Hyderabad came to me wearing a black dress with a bundle on his head on his way to a temple on the hill. I asked him why he also believed in a God which ordinary people did. By the time he returned from his holy visit, his house was looted and cash, gold and silver were stolen. "


" No wonder Madam Blavatsky said 'Man must regain that power. His words must be powerful. Your country cannot flourish till such a time.' This was conveyed to me by Annie Besant. I invited renowned Brahmins and scholars to explain the Vedas as they understood it. I realized that there is no connection between what is mentioned in Vedas and what is practiced. I was surprised. The Vedas clearly mention that Radha is Krishna's deity of worship. "


" You must possess power to attain God. God cannot be attained by the weak ones. Today we lost our power and became like coal! We can never attain God like this. "


" The power (sakthi) in the gods of this cosmos is centered in Radha. She is the primordial supreme centre of all the Gods in the creation. That is vedic! Now I will give you super vedic truth, which is not seen in any of the Vedas. Radhaji manifested herself in a certain symbol - rose fragrance or rose color; anything related to rose. If you see that symbol, you must understand that Radhaji is there! Recently I went to Vedadri temple at the request of some of my colleagues. The wonder of wonders - rosy clouds were coming towards me. Immediately I thought this rose color must be Radha. Radha is symbolized by rose color. All the sakthis in the devathas (power in all Gods) are centered only in Radha. The deity in Vedadri must have come out as Radha, rose color. Within 3 to 4 minutes, a number of pilgrims who came to visit the temple moved towards our car instead of going towards the temple and offered their respects to me with folded hands. Actually they are offering namaskaram to Vedadri sakthi because that sakthi is Radha. "


" A central government officer, whose jurisdiction is whole of India, was advised by his friends to meet me in Brindavan to solve his problem, the arrogant behavior of his son studying engineering. He became uncontrollable, exhibiting forbidden rudeness, forbidden drinking and forbidden behavior. He even attempted to strangle them. He began to weep as he spoke about the odd behavior of his son. I cannot explain other reasons why this boy became so arrogant and uncontrollable. Somebody advised him to go to Brindavan to meet a yogi who would solve his problem in no time. He and his wife came by car from Delhi to our ashram. He told me 'I have come here with a big serious problem which is almost driving us to die. It is the problem of our own son. Somebody told me to seek your advice and grace so I have come to beg your grace.' I told him 'you are using big words which I don't deserve. I am only a spiritual man. We have to refer only to Radhaji who is here. Radha is the presiding deity at this centre.Now what is your problem?' When he told me his problem, I gave him a small initiation and a small method of appealing to Radhaji for Her grace. Within 3-4 days after I gave him the initiation, the boy started weeping. It is very peculiar. The odd behavior and disrespect of the boy with arrogance like a tiger were not seen! Suddenly he began weeping, almost repenting for his odd behavior. "


" I don't think in ancient times there is any saint who could convert such an arrogant boy to a normal state without him doing any penance. I never begged Mother to change him. Mother's photo, Her invisible presence is responsible for his conversion within such a small period of 3-4 days. After 15 days, the boy came to me directly saying 'I must see my Guruji' He brought a large picture of Chinnari with golden frame and fully decorated. 'This is my humble presentation to you as gurukatnam'. I don't know why he gave me gurukatnam. The picture is still in Brindavan. He recognized that some change came over him; this sentence proves the cause of his change. He said 'every paisa spent on this picture was out of my pocket money only. I never begged my parents for a pie.' "


" Our dhyana is known as Radha dhyana. Such a dhyana does not exist elsewhere on earth nor is it found in any scriptures. You can verify it even from Vedas. I am repeating what Mother said and what Her sakhis told me. We went to Ravali one night for Mother's message. She gave us some points from 11 p.m to 1 a.m. Later I developed upon those points. It is so powerful and confidential. I will describe every point in detail in a scientific as well as spiritual manner. Without understanding these points, the jeeva cannot go near Mother. "

Doing dhyana on the supreme all pervading embodiment of power:

Yadbhavo tad bhavathi


" You will see the form on which you do dhyana; you will obtain the deity's divine light and aspects. The Vedas declared that there is no other power equal to Radha in this whole world. The power in all the Gods is centered in Radha. They attain their divine power from Her. When we do dhyana on Mother, Her power and light will slowly enter into us. We will benefit a lot from them. "


" We descended down because we lost our original power. The jeeva was like fire at one time. Today he became like coal and remains in a helpless state. The jeevathma no longer has that athma (soul). I am seeing the state of some mahatmas after their death. I know the facts. We must regain our original power. 'Dhyanena athmani pasyanthi.' Dhyana has such significance. "

Nayamathma balaheenena labhyah


" God is not attained by the weak ones. Man must possess mental power and control over his senses, not physical power. Due to lack of this power, Lord Brahma, Lord Shiva and even maharishis like Saubhari and Viswamitra fell from their elevated state of penance. So you must be powerful. You cannot attain power unless you do dhyana on power. You will get wealth when you worship Goddess of wealth. You must do dhyana on Radha because the power of all Gods is centered in Her. Then Her powers will support you and protect you when required. Our duty is to worship sakthi. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa also said 'the Lord is Shiva when he is with sakthi; otherwise he is only Shava (corpse)' So without power, anybody is lifeless; power is most important. The scriptures state that Krishna said 'Radha, You are Sri; I am Krishna. When I am with You, I am Sri Krishna, I become extraordinarily powerful that nobody can defeat me. Without You, I am only Krishna, the ordinary person.' "


" In order to attain such power, we must do dhyana only on the powerful deity; otherwise it is of no use. By dhyana on Her, we will attain that power sometime or other. The Vedas reiterate that Mother is the supreme power. One who neglects Radha and worships only Krishna is a big fool. You must not follow them. The Devi Bhagawata clearly states that the person who worships Krishna alone lacks inner divinity. These are spiritual, philosophical truths. You must believe them, whether you understand them or not. "

Yat sastra vidhi muthsrijya ..


" The Vedas say that one who disregards what is mentioned in scriptures and does things as he wants, faces severe punishment. All his efforts will face hurdles; success will evade him; he will not be happy either in this world or even after death. This is the vedic truth. I also saw some instances in the upper world. I saw the state of some so called spiritual swamis after their death. I must not say lies in Mother's presence. This is the truth. The saints do not have power; hence they are in a deplorable state after death. That is why worship of power is very important. "


" Radha is the highest power. When the Gods questioned Lord Brahma why only Radhaji must be worshipped, he appealed to the Vedas. They said that the power of all the Gods is centered in Radhaji. The Gods derive their power from Her. She is wholly powerful! None other than Krishna put the dust of Her feet on his head. He surrendered himself completely to Her. This is what the Vedas declared! She is the highest extraordinary power. She is our deity of worship. We must do dhyana only on Radha. "

Mind is in a state of vacuum


" A doctor first creates vacuum in the syringe. Unless a low pressure is created first, the pressure will not be transferred from above. This corollary to dhyana is a very important point. In our dhyana, we concentrate on one letter only. As we do dhyana only on one letter, our mind focuses only on that letter with one pointed concentration. I am speaking from my experience. When the jeeva incessantly contemplates on that letter, he becomes passive towards the world. Real dhyana yoga must make the jeeva passive! Only then, he will disentangle himself from prakriti and worldly related matters. He will not be disturbed by any failures in the world. Passivity is a great quality. Lord Brahma fell when his passivity failed. Lord Shiva also fell due to body consciousness. We must be very careful. Don't consider it as a small hurdle. We must overcome body consciousness one day. "


Nanna said that as we incessantly meditate on the supreme power Radhaji, Her divine power and light will slowly enter into us. We have seen this actually happening in Nanna himself. The Brindavan mahatmas declared that he shines as Radhaji's manifestation. Quoting Sri Radhikopanishad, Devi Bhagawata, Narada Panchartharam etc., Nanna authentically stated that Radhaji is Krishna's deity of worship and is supremely powerful.

'Radha! You possess the powers of wealth, sweetness and knowledge. You are the supreme sovereign.'

'Your power, Your benevolence and the brightness of Your love and rasa will permeate and melt all the worlds'
