Lajavidya Rajguhya Yoga:
Yoga of Royal Science of Royal Secret
Krishna said,
“I shall reveal unto you the top secret wisdom understanding which, intuitively grasping which, you will become free from this inauspiciousness, O uncarping dear friend. The King of all sciences, the royal secret, peerless sanctifier, essence of all dharma, easy to do and open to direct experience, imperishable as it is. 1 shall tell you that. Failing to know it is to speed up on the path of death, and around the darkened rounds of transmigration. The only cause of failure is to be without homage and trust in this wisdom.
“This whole universe is pervaded by Me, like ice in water. And all figures of this cosmic dream abide in my one beam of consciousness. But behold my power-
pasya me yoga maisvaryam
“You look at (he vast oceans, mountains, rivers, woods and beauty in the faces of the loved ones, love in their eyes, but my beam is never perceptible to your all smart gazes. I keep hiding and you keep misconceiving. Though I am everywhere- but as if nowhere. Although all these - your beautiful, lovely, soothing adventurous things are formed of my own texture still I am not contained, not exhausted by all of you. It is of course a beam of light which projects on TV and movies screens, forming millions of scenes and varieties of events, still the beam doesn’t undergo all those changes. The same way, no matter how dangerous things become, world wars, devastations, tornadoes, floods, Satya age. Kali age go on, but my beam remains undisturbed, undistorted, clean and sparkling. Just like wind cannot bother the sky, water beasts cannot harass the ocean, your own nose cannot tease and tickle your face, so also the creation and dissolution do not drain my energy. Just like a roaring lion of your dream cannot disturb the sleep of your spouse beside you, nothing of the world can entangle me, nothing can crush me in their cruel clutches. Vice versa, human beings though containing me in their very Being go through all the unimaginable agony of suffering & changes.
“At the end of 4 billion years the picture file of the cassette of the cosmic VCR is over. Nature goes to sleep. VCR goes to repair shop. In the beginning of a new cosmic day prakriti wakes up again and the movie starts up again. As soon as heroes and actors and actresses go liberated they are replaced by new ones. Stains of karma have to be washed clean, have to be gone through unless some startling, new action-fruit intervenes. Just like a regular american sees starving, sick, suffering ugly, illiterate children of Ethiopia, great politicians and singers and tycoons of the States are seen by knowers of this wisdom with great nausea, disgust& sympathy.
“Rotating the wheels of joy towards torture, the wheels of life towards death, the wheels of peace towards war, karmas do not stain me. It can be likewise to you, O Arjuna. All you have to do is, See, peer, stare and gaze to find out that all this is me, the Bramha, neither I nor he nor she nor anybody or anything else exists but Me, the Bramha. Knowing thus become a disinterested spectator whether viewing your own life or other’s. As far as duty towards family, friends and kinsmen is concerned do it as Vedas guide you and never in a chaotic way of materialistics. For the rest be an onlooker, an impartial witness. As soon as you become serious about a nightmare you suffer, but as soon as you know it as your own subconscious prank you can make fun and laugh about it. So take only me seriously all other as cheap pranks. It is my impregnating presence through which nature gives birth to all alive and rocklike people & things of the world, and revolves in circumambulations. But she always requires my impregnating closeness, embracings & pattings. It is from here that all couples get their romance.
“Lost in that people forget to lift their gaze and remain oblivious of my godliness and supremacy therefore, when & when I incarnate on earth, they begin underestimating me; their smartness is futile and their knowledge just extra flesh on their belly. Their big exciting master plans only lead to imprisonment. Look at Galileo. Look at the fear of Descartes. Look at Sartre & Nietzsche where their knowledge led them, to fear, prison, asylums, even Socrates, Plato& Aristotle all got into trouble. Not for knowledge of course but due to their master plan associated with the wisdom. When such wisemen-class ones have faults in planning the proper course of action who then are you?
“Therefore, watch for your hope, action and knowledge; they shouldn’t be-
moghasa mogha karmano
-the futile, time-wasting hopes & courses of action. And watch that they mustn’t lead to –
raksasim asurim chaiva
-making you robot-like or monsterous stalking like terminator on the face of the earth.
“Therefore Arjuna let your thought, speech and action & understanding be ruled by:
daivim satvic sampadam
“Then only it will put some extra strength in your vision that you may be able to see the Bramha while spreading your gaze all around. Then you will understand the power of my name. That even while stumbling, yawning, falling, slipping or even in making fun, laughing or singing if you happen to utter it then piles and piles of karmas are washed clean, never to be found again. Even intentionally or unintentionally if you sang or whispered my name, it will not go without bestowing benediction no doubt. In shock, surprise, fear, hurt, lament or even something elseif my name is uttered it destroys heaps of sinful karmas and opens a brighter destiny. There is no place, no time, no circumstance in which you cannot, should not or will not then utter, just like one drop of wine is enough to make you fallen, same way, one name of mine taken is plenty to be karma-free and arisen. My name has greater power than prayaschitta or confession or repentance. Therefore, those who know me sing and whisper my name always.

“Singing my name, thinking of my form and pastimes always, striving to attain me, and offering obeisances to me daily with love, make your heart weightless & relieved of pressures of thickened vibrations of past karmas. To the one who has done asvamedha yajna, how much great merit and power he’s stored; but I tell you O sullen one, a single obeisance to me is equal in merit to the performing of ten asvamedha yajnas. Therefore, a knower of my mystery offers obeisances to me again and again…

“Not rolling down from that elevated devotional mood they find me all over and everywhere.
“Many worship me through jnanayajna which is God as universal experience. Others unify God with their inner Self and multiply themselves. Others worship me through one of the five relationships shanta, dasya, vatsalya, sakhya and madhur bhava. Many others worship me through very many ways. Those too arc perfect.
“I am the ritual to engage you in the fire sacrifice, pindas to ancestors to bring blessing for you, herbs to heal you, mantra to empower you, ghee & fire and oblations I am too. Assuming the form of sun I give you warmth; raining sweet water I see your joy. Everywhere are my hands and feet. Don’t you hear my footsteps I always walk by your side many times placing my hand on your shoulder. When you cry in pain don’t you hear my heart ache too? Why have you gone so stony hearted O dear friend?
“My ears arc always there to listen to you even to your baby language. I protect you as the apple of my eye. And I am always there to care for you, to fix your room and bedding too. I am nectar, I am death, I am truth, I am myth, -whatever you choose. It is all to facilitate your freedom to enrich, to produce vast varieties for you to choose and feel really you are free. Know for sure I am all over you. Surrounding, enveloping, caressing you from all sides. When you want to go to planet Svah I assume the form of Vedas and appear in the form of knowledge of rituals of yajnas. Doing that you become entitled to reserve a mansion and airplane and all joys appropriate to your shining punyas. Your punyas mean your will to get what you want will be true. Living there for a long time, enjoy all sensual pleasures then your punyas arc drained and run out and your soul descends on earth again. And since your mental set-up is patterned for only sensational joys probably you are drawn to perform similar sacrifices again, or you are born in places like america to have some more. Either way your cycle continues, and either you keep comingdown and going up and coming down, or you come down and consume without making more and go down further after death to suffer consequences. Until you realize that all what you are doing is just striving hard to move from one good dream to another better dream, you stay confined in the dream-prison. Once you understand you are in better shape.

“When you become exhausted and become suddenly aware that what a foolish shunting is going on again and again and yet again, then you retreat. Then, for the first time you think of me seriously; & once your lips begin moving in tunes of my name you feel so sweet & nectarine that you wish you could have thousands of lips so that you could whisper & feel the deliciousness of it. Then my name rolls on and your ears hear and they wish and torment if they would have been thousands, then they could have enjoyed a thousand times more. Then they do enjoy thousands times more right then, because my name is a desire tree in itself. It has all the power which I myself have, rather some more too. When lips and ears both become joined with bliss of the whisper and hearing, then some of the nectar of name pours down in the heart. Then they’re on dorsal plexus on the golden pericarp, sixteen petalled pink lotuses a gorgeous stage is formed. And they’re two letters of my name, like actors begin dancing. This dance becomes so ecstatic so rapturous, so enchanting, that all the five senses of perception such as abilities of speaking, tasting, hearing, smelling & touching run down from their residences, and abilities of five organs of action run down from their places, and mind, intellect & ego too come and sit around the stage as an audience and begin seeing the divine dance as beautiful and picturesque as 1 & Radha used to dance in Vrindaban moonlit midnight. Lost in ecstatic oblivion at the end, all shout
“All glories to Shri Namaji Maharaj!”
“These nightly performances pick up the rapture and begin to take over-dawn also, dusk also; then anytime of the day or night pop in along with all the audience. No one wants to miss single minute of the show. When this begins it goes on and on doing anything to take care of financial arrangements for the family become more and more in jeopardy then,

“Then, O Arjuna, To these magnaminous, great beings, I myself come to observe their necessities. And whatever food, clothes, home, car, medicine, or anything is required, I hurry to arrange for them. Not only this, I personally take care of the safety of their stored things too. Such is my resolve, such is my vow. My personal vow may get broken for my owns, but not this vow which is pertaining to my own’s. It is solid and everlasting, no doubt! Homage is such a precious thing.
“If with homage you worship to other forms of gods then too you achieve what you want but your worship is based on ignorance. Not knowing me as the receiver of all oblations of all sacrifices and Lord, is not knowing my reality and that only means falling in bondage. It is obvious if you worshipcelestials, manes, or spirits, then you will attain them and to their planets. But worshipping me is finding me and that is synonymous to eternal liberation, eternally free.

“In order 10 worship me you do not have to rush or spend a lot of money. Of course if your devotion is sincere you cannot hold back your heart to offer all the best you can afford, that’s love’s way, but from my side, I require none. Just some leaves, tulasi, rose, lotus, jasmine, banana, apple, whatever flowers, fruits and water you offer me with love I eat them all with great gratefulness. Thanks, thank you, so delicious it is, I say.

“Therefore Arjuna, Whatever sharings and love offerings you make, whatever trouble and tough lime you lace on the Uric of your duty and dharmu, all that just offer to me. By doing so all auspicousness and inauspicousness of karma will not bind you and their binding influences will not slain either.

“Equally and evenly I pervade all. No one is there to hate nor anyone so dear. But Ihose who ihink of me wilh love, Ihey in me & I in ihem, personally, directly manifest. Just like fire is hidden everywhere but by rubbing two sticks it manifests, similarly I am everywhere unmanifestly but directly manifest where there is great embrace in love between my devotee and me. If such union of caress is made possible even in the heart of extremely unrighteous he is considered to be a sage because he has determined such a loving embrace between Inner Self & God as the supreme yoga. Because of his strength and determination his sagaciousness becomes mountain-high and sky-wide and ocean-deep and that is why from there arises peace and so much love and so much bliss in the shadow of which the whole world can live happily for millenias
“Know for sure, those who think of me perish not. Whether you be a terribly business-minded businessman, very thick-headed lady or hard working workaholic or worse, thinking of me, whispering my name, bowing down to me, get to attain me. What then to speak of those pious, devoted, sagacious royal family born ones like yourself? Attaining this misery-filled, temporary & perishable but rare opportunity of the human body, waste no time by letting your mind entangle in sensational joys!
“Since all else, physically, astrally & celestially is ready to be scattered away any moment like pieces of cloud in the wind, therefore, O great Prince, regain through me your lost awareness, love and your very own Self by introducing your mind in me, then heart into me, the owner of transcendental world where everything is true, god-texturcd, and immortal; enter in me through nine-symptomed devotion, then abide in me. Thus, dismiss the body-dream at will, and become my very own.”
