Comments to latest speech of Chari, (Oct. 14, 2010) Sahaj Marg (tm)

Comments (in "red italics") to exerpts from Chari's recent speech:
Restore the Heart to its Original Nature


Restore the Heart to Its Original Nature
Latin America and Oceania Seminar, October 14, 2010, Chennai, India

(...)

"So our production, in terms of what we have to say, is not scholarly. It does not merit attention of scholars or of semantics. It is for us, for people. In a sense it is like the vox populi — the voice of the people, being reflected back to the people through the heart. "

The word, "production" insinuates that Sahaj Marg is a product which is produced (or made). In this case it is a "trade-marked" product which belongs to individual businessmen, and is sold (as "free" of course) in a Market, which they want to invade with this trade-marked product, to be followed by other more "commercial" and not-so-free products ... (books, incense, travel, meditation mats, photos, Dvd's, lodging, accomodation, food, clothing, retreats, etc ... for which the purchaser will often "donate" the value asked or suggested, so as to avoid the sales taxes.

Michael, ex-preceptor from USA, once said that Sahaj Marg was simply re-processing or regurgitating the energy of the crowd back to them, sort of like an entertainer does and what Chari confirms above ... There is no "god" or "divine" energy being added to the mix by the materialist businessmen or their "preceptors" (priests) ... This statement of Chari seems to confim that ... You are only getting back your own "voice" (sound?) ... NOT GOD!! Maybe the disciples are also sub-consciously being made to surrender to "beings of light", the collective egregores, or other fantasies, specters, or phantasms which are allegedly being channeled by their anonymous psychic lady MEDIUM (s). The Mind of the "serf" does the rest.

According to Chari, re-reading the messages channeled through an anonymous French lady Medium, allegedly from Babuji, Lalaji, Chari's mother, Chari's wife, or even the "beings of light" (and god only knows who else), the so-called "whispers" seven or eight times could erase one's samskaras ... (the equivalent of the Roman Catholic "confession, forgiveness of sins and absolution" and/or "indulgences"!! )

Yeah!! Right!! Want to buy a bridge? So much for God being JUST, and/or the LAW of KARMA!!

What Sahaj Marg has become is more accurately called: "spiritual capitalism" ... it was not the truth when the Christian Pope Leo X (1475-1521) used it in the 15th century, and it is not the truth for Sahaj Marg (tm) and Chari today ! ... it's a SCAM !!

(...)

"Our abhyasis will shine only in the world where the heart shines and, as Jesus said, that kingdom is not here."


To opportunistically (exploit) quote Christ and what Chari calls "corrupt" Christianity, does not make one right or even "Christ-like". To presume that some's heart will "shine" in some fantasy world, and some's heart will not because of their actions in this world, does not reflect the reality. It is a fantasy. A religious made-up and invented fantasy!! How convenient that their hearts (PUMP) will only shine "in some other fantasy world", and not here in the material world, where the "shining" could be studied and verified to be non-existent !! SPIRIT or MIND fields, if they exist, are not made of Matter or Energy!! They do not shine and they are not "crystal (solid), liquid, gaseous, plasma, sea of quark, etc ... or other sub-atomic properties of the material world ...

The speed of light (hopefully) is not the speed of MIND (thoughts), nor the speed of SPIRIT (rarefied energy) ... What looks like light from this realm will appear to be as gross as matter (lower frequency) from a higher frequency perspective (Mind, Spirit? ... if these "fields" exists at all and if they exists in isolation ... as fields)

Matter and enrgy (electromagnetism or "light") are said to be "equivalent" (but they are not at the same vibration or frequency) ... The material packet or "quantum of EM" is called a "photon". From the perspective of EM energy (light), matter seems to be static ... but we know different NOW. At the atomic and sub-atomic levels, matter is equivalent to its energy and is in MOTION. From the perspective of MIND (science), the heart of the saint and the heart of the tyrant or the despot, being both made of matter (carbon), reflect the same EM energy (LIGHT) and are made of approximately the same amount of matter, and one does not shine more than the other. And "As below the same above" (The Kybalion).

(For more opportunism, see also: Is ISRC Claiming the Hermetic Kybalion? - From Institute of Shri Ramchandra Consciousness- Narayana's ISRC)

Chari's (and his gullible abhyasis) desire to "shine only in the other world" should carry a caveat ... "careful what you wish", Light being energy, is not very much "higher" in frequency than matter ... It is not higher in frequency than the posited fields of MIND or the alleged reality which some call: SPIRIT ... if there are such realms in REALITY!! ... and by-the-way, light does not have "consciousness" !

(...)

"So you see the aim of Sahaj Marg is not to produce excellence in human beings. It is to produce or, shall we say, transform, what was a splendid, glorious, resplendent, human heart, which has become sullied, which has become covered with grossness, which has become hardened through selfishness, into its original nature and send it back."

The Carrot and the Stick: Now you and your "heart" (PUMP) are suggested to be "sullied and "covered with grossness", and "hardened through selfishness" ... where before?? you were "glorious" and covered with "lightness"?? (when you were a baby?? or before you were born and were either MIND?? or SPIRIT?? or "nothing"? ) ...

We may conjecture the reason why so many preceptors and abhyasis have "heart" and "blood" problems. Many I know have even died from "sullied" hearts (heart attacks, strokes, blood pressure problems, suicide, etc..) . Could it be because of such negative suggestions which can become "post hypnotic suggestions" when preached by a self-professed Master, magician (or mystic), Chari, which the abhyasis are instructed to believe and to obey without thinking??

Does this not sound like "sin"? Is Sahaj Marg (tm) simply becoming a "same old, same old" RELGION!! ... and then, as if by "magic", (or through the forgivness of your "sullied" sins, and/or erasing of your samskaras) they claim they will fix your "sullied " or "broken heart" (PUMP) and " send it back"... Does it not start to smell ?? Does it not start to sound like a made-up fantasy? A "CON"?? Does he not really mean your "broken brain"?? (see new research from Dr. Stephanie Ortigue, University of Syracuse)

(...)

"If it is in your samskara to be a healthy individual, Sahaj Marg will make you a healthy individual. It will restore you to such original nature as Nature intended for you when it sent you down here. Restore our originality — that is to make us happy inside and outside, to make us wise in our hearts, not in our heads."


Do you folks who are co-dependent with Sahaj Marg(tm) understand what you read??

You are told nothing!! "If", the conditional tense, means that if Sahaj Marg, does not work, and you don't become "healthy", then it's your fault or the fault of your "samskaras" ... or the law of Karma ... How can they lose?? They are not responsible for anything! ...

You are insured beyond the grave but who do you sue if you can't collect your "shining" heart (PUMP) after supporting RACISM and SEXISM all your "adult??" years?

In their fantastic "BRIGHTER World", do you think there is a "complaint department" manned by some spirit entity like Saint Peter, the dead apostle of Jesus, the Christ, or maybe even Gabriel, the trumpet-playing archangel? Or even Michael, the sword-carrying (of blue light) archangel ...

You divide the world for the racists, and the sexists, and you separate from your family, and friends and you betray your culture for a "fairy tale"!!

A Spiritualist fairy tale.

Is ISRC Claiming The Hermetic KYBALION?

DID Babuji write the Kybalion?

Is the Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness (ISRC) now claiming the KYBALION through Babuji, without giving proper credit? Do they claim that Ram Chandra wrote these "sections" which were (also?) allegedly written by the "three initiates", and published in the "Kybalion" in 1912? The Kybalion was apparently written by "the Three Initiates", and published by the Yogi Publication Society of the Masonic Temple of Chicago, Illinois, USA. As Babuji was born in 1899, could he have been one of the "Three Initiates" at the age of 11 (or less, as the Kybalion was written prior to publication)?

Credit should be given to the "Three Initiates", the Yogi Publication Society, and the Masons of Chicago, Illinois, who in the period prior to WWl, in 1912 published a great book of philosophy, theology and physical principles, called the Kybalion, which are attributed to "Hermes Trismegestus" (thrice majectic), an alleged contemporary of Abraham, the "scribe of the gods", and who according to some legends, was originally from "Atlantis", and was the historic Thoth, the Egyptian of Pyramid era. Thoth, the patron of knowledge, secrets, writing, and scribes, is portrayed as a man with the head of an ibis holding a scribe's palette and a stylus. He was also shown as a full ibis, or sometimes as baboon.

From: IMPERIENCE from the Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness (ISRC)

(Site of K.C. Narayana, son of Dr Varadachari, founder of the Sahaj Marg Research Institute (SMRI... now SMRTI) and Babuji's apparent choice for "Master and President of the SRCM". Unfortunately he passed away, and the confusion with the succession of SRCM started, culminating with the schisms of Babuji's Family, K.C. Narayana, Sister Kasturi, and other senior preceptors in India, Europe, and the USA)

http://www.imperience.org/Celebrations/2006BasanthPrinciplesRevSriKCN.htm

This article, is at the site above which is a 'break-away" group from Chari's Shri Ram Chandra Mission (SRCM). Chari has now re-registered the SRCM in California-1997, and he patented "SAHAJ MARG" as a "trade mark" in the USA,. The article seems to borrow heavily from The Kybalion, without giving the proper "references". If that is not an oversight or is an error, and that the claim that it is from the writings of Ram Chandra, the Founder of SRCM, registered in India under the "societies act", are correct, then it seems to be a case of "plagiarism" on the part of Babuji, as the date of Publishing of the Kybalion is 1912.

I have shown the article's "list of Principles" (nine (9)), and underneath, the "Principles" (seven (7), from the sections in the Kybalion so as to show the exact wording of each original "principle". All important claims are in "hypertext" for referencing.

The Principle No.1- The Principle of Mentalism has been changed, to The Principle of Consciousness, and the two Principles, No. 4- The Principle of Invertendo, and No. 5- The Principle of Parallelism, are additions by the ISRC author. (K.C. Narayana?) making a list of "nine" as opposed to the mystical "seven" or the spiralling octave (8). (Seven colors of the rainbow (light), seven notes to the western music scale (sound), etc... etc... Raja Yoga, the "eightfold" path, 24 notes (3 x 8) Indian music scale). Why NINE?

NOW the ARTICLE from IMPERIENCE

(...and the PRINCIPLES and the Philosophy of the Natural Path):

Philosophy of the Natural Path

(...)

Master has clearly stated certain fundamental principles and in this article I state them with the anticipation that the readers will read the original works of the Master Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, India.

1. The Principle of Consciousness.

“THE ALL” IS Consciousness. The Universe is of the nature of Consciousness. This principle refers to the Natural understanding that everything in the universe, matter and energy, is a form of consciousness. Rocks, trees, people, planets and constellations are all Consciousness at different levels of density. This suggests the unity of all things, as well as the latent power of the human mind.

From the Kybalion

I. THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM

"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental." -- The Kybalion. This Principle embodies the truth that "All is Mind."

2. The Principle of Correspondence

“As above, so below, as below, so above.” In one sense, this law states that the “whole” of a body is reflected in one “part.” This has been referred to in physics as the holographic nature of the Universe. This law describes many natural relationships, such as a cell of an organism containing the entire genetic information of the whole body. In spiritual life we understand as in the microcosm so in the macrocosm.

From the Kybalion

II. THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE

"As above, so below; as below, so above." -- The Kybalion.

3. The Principle of Vibration

“Nothing is in a state of rest; everything moves; everything vibrates.” Everything vibrates, and its vibratory rate determines its quality and place in the world. A person, for example, can have a high vibration (peace, happiness, confidence, esteem) or a low vibration (depression, hate, greed, jealousy, fear, etc). Through methods of the Natural Path, one can change a low vibration to a high vibration, and move steadily in spiritual life.

From the Kybalion

III. THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates." -- The Kybalion.

4. The Principle of Invertendo

The flow of consciousness through vibrations inverts itself as it moves from the higher levels to lower levels and vice-versa. This inversion is the basis for formation of knots and consequent concentration of power within the knots.

5. The Principle of Parallelism.

The Divinity is the base of everything. It is self contained and is in a state of dynamic balance. It is found in everything as an active principle. Divinity when it manifested created an outward expression of itself which reached its Zenith in the human beings. Master calls the former ie. The presence of Divinity in everything is a function of the Line of Divinity. The manifestation of the Divinity is called by him as the Line of humanity. Since they are from the same source and of the nature of consciousness they are parallel. But nature of the Line of humanity is towards manifestation and activity while that of the Line of divinity is self contentedness and balance. Therefore though they are parallel the Line of humanity runs apparently in the opposite direction. All sadhana has to be to reduce the activity of the Line of humanity and bring it in consonance with the nature of divinity or balance

6. The Principle of Polarity

“Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.” The law of polarity teaches us to see things as localized on a continuum between two opposite “poles”, or extremes. Good and Evil are two poles within which we place every form of conduct or nature and are essentially relative. Among other things, this law aids us to see a grander, more unified view of all that exists.

From the Kybalion

IV. THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled." -- The Kybalion.

7. The Principle of Rhythm

“Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates.” The law of rhythm helps us to see the patterns that are an inextricable part of life as it relates to time. Days, nights, breaths, sleep, and wake cycles, the birth and death of nations, people, and solar systems all follow the law of rhythm. By being aware of these rhythms, we are able to make decisions, form and break habits, and see the possible outcomes of actions, and understand the world in which we live.

From the Kybalion

V. THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates." -- The Kybalion

8. The Principle of Cause and Effect

“Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law.” We learn through this that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. There are no phenomena which do not have a cause or which is not the effect of something else. By carefully studying life with this law in mind, we come to be more aware of our actions and ourselves.

From the Kybalion

VI. THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law." -- The Kybalion

9. The Principle of Gender

”Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes.” The law of gender states that in the creation of anything, two forces are necessary: an active (masculine) force, and a passive (feminine) force. It is to be noted that this law is not limited to biological events.

From the Kybalion

VII The Principle of Gender

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes." -- The Kybalion

These Principles describe the laws of nature as expressed in the Philosophy of Natural Path. Their breadth is wide enough to illustrate phenomena as diverse as electricity, emotions, cosmology, ecology, etc. Understanding these laws allows one to use them to act in a manner harmonious with Nature and life. Though simply stated, the principles are extraordinarily profound in meaning, and one’s comprehension of these laws increases as one attains higher levels of awareness.

From the Kybalion

The Seven Hermetic Principles, upon which the entire Hermetic Philosophy is based, are as follows:

THE PRINCIPLE OF MENTALISM.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CORRESPONDENCE.
THE PRINCIPLE OF VIBRATION.
THE PRINCIPLE OF POLARITY.
THE PRINCIPLE OF RHYTHM.
THE PRINCIPLE OF CAUSE AND EFFECT.
THE PRINCIPLE OF GENDER.

These Seven Principles will be discussed and explained as we proceed with these lessons. A short explanation of each, however, may as well be given at this point.

THE ESSENTIAL KYBALION

Excerpts from THE KYBALLION

- by The Three Initiates

"The lips of wisdom are closed, except to the ears of Understanding"

"Where fall the footsteps of the Master, the ears of those ready for his Teaching open wide."

"When the ears of the student are ready to hear, then cometh the lips to fill them with Wisdom."

"The Principles of Truth are Seven; he who knows these, understandingly, possesses the Magic Key before whose touch all the Doors of the Temple fly open".

"THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental."

"As above, so below; as below, so above."

"Nothing rests; everything moves; everything vibrates."

"Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half-truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled."

"Everything flows, out and in; everything has its tides; all things rise and fall; the pendulum-swing manifests in everything; the measure of the swing to the right is the measure of the swing to the left; rhythm compensates."

"Every Cause has its Effect; every Effect has its Cause; everything happens according to Law; Chance is but a name for Law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the Law."

"Gender is in everything; everything has its Masculine and Feminine Principles; Gender manifests on all planes."

"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted, from state to state; degree to degree; condition to condition; pole to pole; vibration to vibration. True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."

"Under, and back of, the Universe of Time, Space and Change, is ever to be found The Substantial Reality - the Fundamental Truth."

"THAT which is the Fundamental Truth-the Substantial Reality--is beyond true naming, but the Wise Men call it THE ALL."

"In its Essence, THE ALL is UNKNOWABLE."

"But, the report of Reason must be hospitably received, and treated with respect."

"The Universe is Mental--held in the Mind of THE ALL."

"THE ALL creates in its Infinite Mind countless Universes, which exist for aeons of Time--and yet, to THE ALL, the creation, development, decline and death of a million Universes is as the time of the twinkling of an eye."

"The Infinite Mind of THE ALL is the womb of Universes."

"Within the Father-Mother Mind, mortal children are at home."

"There is not one who is Fatherless, nor Motherless in the Universe."

"The half-wise, recognizing the comparative unreality of the Universe, imagine that they may defy its Laws--such are vain and presumptuous fools, and they are broken against the rocks and torn asunder by the elements by reason of their folly. The truly wise, knowing the nature of the Universe, use Law against laws; the higher against the lower; and by the Art of Alchemy transmute that which is undesirable into that which is worthy, and thus triumph. Mastery consists not in abnormal dreams, visions and fantastic imaginings or living, but in using the higher forces against the lower--escaping the pains of the lower planes by vibrating on the higher. Transmutation, not presumptuous denial, is the weapon of the Master."

"While All is in THE ALL, it is equally true that THE ALL is in ALL. To him who truly understands this truth hath come great knowledge."

"The possession of Knowledge, unless accompanied by a manifestation and expression in Action, is like the hoarding of precious metals-a vain and foolish thing. Knowledge, like wealth, is intended for Use. The Law of Use is Universal, and he who violates it suffers by reason of his conflict with natural forces."

"To change your mood or mental state-change your vibration."

"To destroy an undesirable rate of mental vibration, put into operation the principle of Polarity and concentrate upon the opposite pole to that which you desire to suppress. Kill out the undesirable by changing its polarity."

"Mind (as well as metals and elements) may be transmuted from state to state degree to degree. condition to condition pole to pole; vibration to vibration."

"Rhythm may be neutralized by an application of the Art of Polarization."

"Nothing escapes the Principle of Cause and Effect, but there are many Planes of Causation, and one may use the laws of the higher to overcome the laws of the lower."

"The wise ones serve on the higher, but rule on the lower. They obey the laws coming from above them, But on their own plane, and those below them they rule and give orders. And, yet, in so doing, they form a part of the Principle, instead of opposing it. The wise man falls in with the Law, and by understanding its movements he operates it instead of being its blind slave. Just as does the skilled swimmer turn this way and that way, going and coming as he will, instead of being as the log which is carried here and there-so is the wise man as compared to the ordinary man-and yet both swimmer and log; wise man and fool, are subject to Law. He who understands this is well on the road to Mastery"

"True Hermetic Transmutation is a Mental Art."

Laalaaji Nilayam Charitable Trust

Laalaaji Nilayam Charitable Trust

In a website created on 26 February 2009, the grandson of Lalaji, Dinesh Kumar Saxena tells us that he created a charitable organization, the Laalaaji Nilayam Charitable Trust (LNCT) at: www.adhyaatmadhaaraa.org). Its goal is to raise funds to rehabilitate the "holy places" that have marked the life of Lalaji and organize tourist pilgrimages. It is planned to renovate the house of Lalaji (Laalaaji Nilayam) and to increase its capacity, to erect a life-size statue of Lalaji and to acquire many other places of worship.

The oldest male of the Holy Family represents Lalaji, he is also at the head of NaqshMuMRa (Naqshbandiya Mujaddidiya Mazhariya Ramchandriya). So today the role goes to Dinesh Kumar, retired from the railways since 2002 and soon 65 years old, since the death of his elder brother in 1974. Previously, this function was performed by Akilesh Kumar (28/06/41-15/05/74) who was not 3 years old at the death of his father and who died before he was 33 years old, but who still had the time to create a periodical entitled "adhyaatma dhaara. Their father, Narayan or Jagmohan Narain (2/11/01-28/08/44), preceded them from 1931 to 1944.
In fact, it should be a little more complex than that: when you look at their Sufi "golden chain", (see here also for a different "golden chain") we see other intermediaries characters, but Dinesh does not mention them ...

Clearly, Dinesh says that Lalaji was not only the "aadiguru" of Sahaj Marg, but especially the one and only great spiritual master of the non-Islamic Naqshbandi Sufi lineage, following the teaching of the great Sufi saint Hazarat Maulana Fazal Ahmad Khan Sahib Raipur who he followed from 1911, for 16 full years. However, Dinesh does not say a word about the teachings of Sant Mat that he would have followed ...

According to Dinesh, his grandfather "Laalaaji is eternally waiting for those who have yet to come." He would have said in effect: "the task which could not be achieved during my life time, it would be the prime duty and the best charity of my forthcoming generations, to complete it."

So it is what NaqshMuMRa and LNCT through Dinesh are doing today, but not only them because Dinesh also cites the SRCM, the Sahaj Marg and Chari, but without adding a word about the descendants of Babuji or Kasturi or Narayana's (ISRC) ... This is also true (there is mention... (see here) ) of Ramashram satsang led by the successors of some great disciples of Lalaji, the Akhil Bhartiya Santmat Satsang (ABSS), which follows the teaching of Brij Mohan Lal (nephew Lalaji) or even the Golden Sufi Center initiated by Radha Mohan Lal (another nephew of Lalaji). An interesting eclecticism ... especially after the harsh words of Babuji in 1963 about the Sufi teachings in India.

Who will be at the head of NaqshMuMRa and the LNCT tomorrow? Apparently, the descendants of Raghubal Dayal, brother Lalaji, are now excluded. Women also! So will it be the son of Akilesh, Vinay Kumar born in 1965 or Samir Kumar in 1970? Or will it the responsibility of the son of Dinesh, Himanshu Vikram born in 1980?

Dr. K.C. Varadachari, Sahaj Marg and SRCM

Exerpts taken from the Life of Dr. K.C. Varadachari at his son's K.C. Narayana's sites: Imperience.org and Sri Ramchandra.org (Institute of Sri Ramchandra Consciousness-ISRC))

Exerpts taken from this file: They seem to confirm the concerns of the "bloggers" regarding the SRCM. Is Dr. Varadachari also to be seen as an "enemy of Spirituality" as Chari calls the Bloggers in his book?: "He! the Hookah and I"

http://www.sriramchandra.org/master/RevDrKCVStory.htm

(...)

It happened that I Should meet Shri Ram Chandraji. Firstly his views were clearly different from my whole past.

The conception of the Ultimate as Zero was quite against my philosophic inclination. Having failed with the positive concept it is time to experiment with this - Is it likely to be true? The Zero has to be understood as the Beginning or Origin of all possibilities being nothing of what it becomes.

The concept of Invertendo shows how the deformation of evolution is natural and the power inherent is Zero (Nirguna). I began understanding the meaning of Vivarta. All flow necessitates the inversion and it is natural.

The formations of the descent are clearly on this principle of inversions.

The vast Brahman extends up to our knowledge of it. Thus Truth, Consciousness and Bliss themselves are attributes which get transcended in higher approaches. Saccidananda are not the Ultimate Reality, they too being terms of knowing - Sankara too gets transcended.

The individual is continuous with the Universal and the Ultimate, and is not abolished. The Pralaya or mergence is cosmic and supracosmic and then all are withdrawn into the Ultimate.

The individual ray of the Ultimate has created for itself an organic organisation of physical-vital, mental and supramental centres and organs. These may well be the knots which have demarcated the several systems known as the physical, vital, mental or the bonal, muscular, circulatory, alimentary, harmonic, nervous, supranervous, and psychic etc. They have become autonomous in a sense but have to be opened up for higher control. This is possible only by bringing down the highest power of the Centre and not merely the higher power just above the human. It is the necessity to mould the lower in terms of the highest through the higher which has also to mould itself to receive the highest. That leads to going beyond Sri Aurobindonian Vijnana - moulding of the mental, vital and physical.

This is done by means of the transmission or descent of the highest consciousness or condition (Zero) itself into the lowest region of the human heart or the organism as it is.

The yogic process is this transmission from the Ultimate which alone can shape the entire being, of the abhyasi for the experience and realisation of one's own physical, vital, mental and supramental levels - called by Shri Ram Chandraji, the pinda, brahmanda, para brahmanda and Central regions working under the direct force of the Centre".

His contact with Aurobindonians and others continued. In 1957, he was invited to participate in a seminar at Calcutta organized by the Pathamandir. He had delivered the annual lectures at the Madres Study Circle in the first two years. He was again asked to deliver the annual address in 1958. He presided over the Calcutta Birthday Celebrations on 15th Aug 1959. He was invited to visit the Ashram at Pondicherry in 1960, to deliver a lecture at their International Academy. He did receive recognitions from other sides also. He was asked to deliver lectures on "Aspects of Bhakti" at Mysore University, on "Vasistadvaita" at University of Travancore and on "Progress" as part of Principal Nuller Lectures during 1954 and 1955. He was also an examiner for Ph.D at the Universities of Banares and Utkal. He was also the examiner on Samkyha and allied topics for the Indian Philosophical Congress, Medals and prizes.

Between 1955 and 59 he has made considerable progress in spirituality and has crossed Pind Desh on 2nd mar 57. His case was taken up straight at the Para Brahmand Mandal and after entering into Para Brahmand on 17th May 57 advanced in the same region on 14th June and finished journey in Para Brahmand Mandal on 17th Aug. 1957. He entered into the Central region 30th Aug 1959.

His first daughter Padmini was married on 26th May 1961. This was a marriage with his cousin Y.K.Srinivasan who was totally devoted to him and his wife and who treated them as their gurus. He is the son of Sri.Narasimhachariar, his uncle. But his daughter did not like the alliance and opted for a marriage with some one outside the family tradition and culture. Master Sri Ramchandraji did send a note to Padmini and also Rs.101/-. Doctor felt that there is change in her and prayed that it be permanent. Master wrote to him that his Master remained at Tirupati with him for several days together and this he (master) could observe on 24th May and also continued to say that he left doctors house on 26th May at 10-55 P.M. He said further that he is so happy with this marriage and offered prayer again for the long life and the prosperity of the couple. But his daughter died on 23rd Nov 63. His attitude to this unfortunate incident may be seen from the following line he wrote to his Master. "Yes: God's ways are inscrutable and I had not even the inkling of this kind to come. I have had disgrace in profession, disasters in personal life but this threat to honor and now death I never thought would be my portion. Indeed this has been a shock to faith on the part of onlookers and perhaps even of abhyasis." In a letter to his son Narayana who felt that the talk of Yoga and Grace of Master are bordering on non sense he wrote " I am speaking or writing to you in all frankness and God has indeed punished us because we did not know human nature, of children, of sisters or boys and so on and friends too. We can be beguiled and misled and this is what makes one seek to arrive at that knowledge that cannot deceive and that is a gift of God. Punishment is for reformation, not retribution. It is when guided by God a real siksha, training in Divine Life. Know all as the gifts of a most benevolent guru - God. Nothing can happen without His will, and His will is just and good. We are children of Risis and I confess to having belonged to the family of Plato and so are you."

He wrote in his personal notes that " It may be necessary that those who have sought the highest must be tested sorely in their faith and in their utter surrender - by being granted disease(incurable), disgrace, disaster in their public and social and familial life, and death too - may be these the steps on the ladder of ascent to divinisation. May be they have to take place simultaneously or indeed divinisation is marked by these centers. I do not know whether the playground of God developing in me and the 'death meeting its death': of course it is clear that death has occurred here. I am not much concerned with my personal loss - it has been of great comfort to feel that a load of anxiety about her future has been removed from my mind. ... But the manner it has happened is however very unsatisfactory to those who claim to achieve 'Soul' and 'mind' transformations by the transmissions. Everybody will get over this sudden catastrophe - whom does not time heal? - But this is a deep test for the Sahaj Marg - even as the Master's son's event a few years ago - this will be having a shattering effect. Master may very rightly think, that all these are trivial in the life of the abhyasi and those who seek the refuge of this Path, but I see the shattering effect on faith in the marga itself." Mark his attention to the system and his love for the Path.

He however considered the abhyasis who came to the bus station as those representing his son and in fact did call Parthasarathi as his son since he never missed coming to receive him.

He was Director of the Sahaj Marg Research Institute started at Tirupati in 1965. He presented the system of Sahaj Marg as a New Darshana in 1966. This is the book where he challenged others to examine the system as a method of Raja Yoga. It is well known that apart from the Shad Darshanas, no one ever tried to call a system of realization or Philosophy as a darshana. Even Advaita, Visistadvaita and Dvaita are differences in the Uttara Mimamsa, the sixth Darshana and are not separate darshanas.

He was very sensitive to the spiritual states and was capable of expressing verbally and draw pictures of his experiences with the abhyasis very vividly. He was instrumental in recognizing and recording many points in the higher regions. He it was who noted the ruby color of the Chit lake of beloved Master Babuji Maharaj which was acknowledged as correct by the Master in the manual of service he gave to preceptors. He did work out other methods of performing the yatra of the abhyasis by adopting the anti-clock wise rotation of the point of self in the heart thereby unwinding the complexities one has built around himself. The Master in consultation with him and Sri Seshadri another close confidant of Dr.K.C.Varadachari named even the spiritual states of Prapanna, Prabhu and Prapanna Prabhu...

He gave talks on the system of Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga regularly at Tirupati after the Satsanghs on every Sunday. Dr.K.C.Varadachari's talks on the system of Sri Ramchandra's Raja Yoga carry a depth of understanding of the subject and deep concern and commitment to the persons to whom, they are addressed. In his own words, as recorded in his diary, his understanding of the system led him to remake himself in a new way. They were all published as books. The Complete Works of Dr.K.C.Varadachari Volume I, published by the Sri Ramchandra Publishers has all of them. He did give talks on all the books of the Master except the one 'Towards Infinity' for which he wrote the Foreword. From 1965 his work for the spread of the Sri Ramchandra Mission was his only purpose of life. He traveled frequently not minding his poor health and delivered lectures at Vijayawada, Hyderabad, Madras, Madurai, Trichy, Allahabad, Shahjahanpur and many other places. During this period he was reaching the pinnacle of spiritual evolution and has commenced Laya Avastha in Brahman on 21st Jan 1968. He got himself established in that condition on 15th Feb 1968 and has completed the process of Laya Avastha in Brahman on 26th April 1968. During this period he assisted the Master in preparing the Manual of Spiritual service and has suggested various spiritual methods on the Daya Sakti and Kaal Sakti methods of training. In an effort to present the system of Sahaj Marg scientifically he assisted Dr.V.S.R.Murthy, Reader in Zoology, S.V.University in writing the book "Neuro Physiological basis of Yoga" by providing him information and guidance based on his research in the Yoga Psychology of the Minor Upanishads.

In 1969 and 1970 he conducted Preceptors seminars at Tirupati and published the deliberations. The Master considered them as very important and useful for SRCM.

Consequent to the deliberations of the seminar in 1969 and discussions Master had with him, a confidential circular was issued to the Preceptors/Prefects of SRCM where in clear guidelines were given regarding the spiritual work. To quote from the circular dated 24th feb.1970

"It must be noted that our purpose is not to fill the Mission with useless persons. It is our duty to help and train the hungry souls trying to produce hunger in others who are not still up to the mark. Those who are totally immune to spiritual life may not be taken into Sahaj Marg- this pious work of realization. The path is smooth but cannot be trodden by rough persons."

"When it is very clear that the prospective member is more keen in the fulfillment of his worldly desires only and not in the higher spiritual values, he may not be admitted unless and until the preceptor is sure that the person, by his labour, will take the turn at some near future. The moral and spiritual development of the abhyasis must be in the view of the preceptor."

Though Master felt this instruction was enough to rectify the defects pointed out to him, these were practiced more in breach, as already the tendency to popularize rather than propagate the system got established as the way to be followed in the Mission. Dr.K.C.Varadachari was a passive spectator to this trend and grieved more in his heart than expressed to others.

Dr.K.C.Varadachari himself was restless till the last day to merge in the Ultimate and while expressing his anguish, also stated that other senior abhyasis did not think he has attained oneness with Ultimate as stated by the Master. He has advanced in the path to such an extent that the Master observed in his letter dated 24th June 1969 " You have written that sometimes you feel absorbed seeking to move swiftly to the centre. There is no change at all in your state. It is a changeless condition as I say. A little bit of humanity is there as it ought to be and so you feel the difference. In the beginning your inclination was to reach the Centre, a tinge of it is still there so you feel seeking to move swiftly to the Centre. Nothingness or negation is your condition, which will itself disappear. The Master stated again in his letter (21st June 1970) to him that "I can say with certainty that you are in Absolute Reality without minding what my lady student has said." The last state of identity, which is bound to be there till the last day of Maha Pralaya as asserted by the Master in the book 'Efficacy of Rajayoga' was enough for him to feel restless to have mergence that is total.

The jealous and envious unable to accept that some one who came into the system much later than themselves should gain such progress started talking of him slightly. This however was rejected by the Master. Taking advantage of the talk of senior persons certain less advanced souls also, however continued to talk of his not reaching the Ultimate even after his demise forgetting the normal etiquette of not talking slighting elders and more so when they left the mortal coil.

He was not happy with the remarks made by the irresponsible and also the undue haste with which the organization of SRCM was sought to be spread giving away certain fundamental principles of spirituality. In his letter to the Master on 18th June 1970 he wrote:

"I fully realize that you require freedom from the organizational work for the sake of spiritual work. I trust everyone will cooperate with you. But I must utter a word of warning, if I ought not to be misunderstood. Let us not commercialize our Mission in out haste to secure financial stability for the Mission, and embark upon works which are not immediately helpful to spiritual development of the abhyasis. We have to imbibe the sense of Mission- Spiritual and not mix it up with other ends. If I am not to be misunderstood, I believe some things can be thrashed out with other seekers who also know about the deviations that take place in spiritual work. I trust you will not misunderstand me." His problem in sadhana was more serious. He wrote in the letter. " I had asked the question, why even in a very high state far above the circles or rings of splendour there is growth of resistance to the Ultimate dissolution or absorption or mergence." "It has of course grave consequences in our appraisal of the ultimate state possible under our system."

However the reply from the Master on 21st June 1970 did not address the anguish expressed by the professor while asserting his status as being in Absolute Reality. It was clear to him the same problem that he faced with the T.T.D. namely promoting the penultimate and secular as superior to the spiritual, is recurring again and found himself too fragile to counter. All the great systems of the past lost their value because yoga was forgotten and their philosophies of knowledge and love were given importance. He was finding even in this new system the stress is being made on the concepts of love, remembrance and very many quasi spiritual ideas which are also prevalent in other systems and the uniqueness of methods of sadhana and methods of evaluation being ignored. He could palpably feel the lack of serious attention to perfect the system of evaluation and upholding the claims made by the Master. There was no interest to study and examine the claims of the Master regarding the various spiritual points like A, B and the locations of the various knots in the physical frame and present to the world the system as a breakthrough in spirituality. From his point of view the location of the various points and knots in the physical frame is the unique practical contribution of Master Sri Ramchandra Maharaj. His concern was spiritual renaissance but what he found was expansion of the secular and mundane however brilliant it might be. Marketing of the SRCM rather than spreading the spirituality as the Mission was perceived by him as a curvature that was developing and he found himself helpless to remedy or rectify. In a world that is dominated by the glitter and gold the gaudy takes the cake, leaving the barren spiritual that is tasteless, odorless, colourless and plain. Yet there are souls that seek to drink the nectar in the dreary waste of the Divine, devoid of all attention and ostentation. His service is available for those who seek spirituality and nothing else.

The last entry in his diary reads:

"O Master I pray to thee
To forgive me and remove
This last barrier between me and thee"
Let my love be complete
And my Non-Being Real!
Let me forgot thy words-
Let the ORGANISATION go as Thou wantest
Who am I, what am I?
Mergence in Thee is All now
Let it be the True Beginning.

He was suffering from Diabetes since 1961 and though he had the best medication available in those days, the disease overtook him and after about one and half month sickness he attained his Maha Samadhi on 31st Jan.1971 on the day Basanth Panchami, the most memorable day of birth of Sri Ramchandraji Maharaj of Fategarh,U.P. India.
