his is not just another
book. This book will
change your destiny. It carries secret
sounds and other tools used by enlightened
beings in ancient times from the esoteric
teachings of India.
Dr Pillai extends blessings for new adventures in your
current life in the modern age, as you read and try out the
parts that appeal to you.
degree in English Literature. I wanted to do my Masters immediately, but I was not accepted that year.
What followed was an intense period of soul-searching experience. My uncle who was a Vedic astrologer predicted a few
things which turned out to be true in spite of my attempts to
challenge them. It was my first serious attempt to look into
destiny, karma and astrology. I began to raise questions like why
someone was born rich, and someone else did not even have
food to eat; why someone despite being very intelligent could
not even get a job, while some idiot became the CEO of a
company.
I began to look for answers to these questions in Vedic
astrology which in India is a science that explains the karma of
individuals. Vedic astrology became almost an obsession in my
life during this time, and I collected about 1,000 horoscopes of
people belonging to various vocations in order to do an empirical study.
My mother was getting annoyed about my interest in
astrology and metaphysics. She wanted me to be a normal
person and pursue the common pleasures or agony of human
life, including getting a job and getting married and begetting a
bunch of kids. Her greatest dissatisfaction was my spending all
my time studying Vedic astrology, because in India it is believed
that you should not mess with ones future, for it is the realm of
the Divine. One day when I was away my mother pitched out
all my Vedic astrology books and notes and when I returned,
she threw a tantrum to underline her point. But, by this time I
was so deeply involved in the metaphysical areas of life that it
was impossible for me to lead a normal life, although during
this time I had earned my Masters degree in English Literature.
It was during this time that I met a famous man who had
influence in my life, Dr. Meenakshi Sundaram. He was a man
of great accomplishment and an internationally renowned
academician. He introduced me to Transcendental Meditation
15
Desikar said what had taken place was remarkable. He said the
goddess was responding to my prayer, and on my request, he
changed my vision of the goddess into a pleasant one.
Since then the goddess has been with me doing many, many
miracles in my personal life, except for a few years when she left
me for some reasons that I cant discuss here at this time.

time and space. I did at least explain this to one examiner who
was willing to be my student. He told me that he understood
my problems, but insisted that I should be functional in a world
of cause and effect, a problem that I may never be able to solve.
During this time the goddesss help was very practical. She
knew that I could not read everything in the many, many
textbooks that I was expected to read. She was very sharp and to
the point. She provided me with the ability to know the
questions beforehand so that I prepared answers only for those
questions. I know every student who reads this would be
envious of me and want to develop a relationship with the
goddess! But I must tell you that the grace of the goddess is the
result of spiritual work done in many life times. Shankara, the
Einstein of Indian mysticism, after his hair-splitting encounters
with intellectuals, came to the goddess for his liberation and
happiness.
I must also tell you that the most powerful way of
invoking a divine entity is to use the mandala for that being.
Within thegoddess tradition, the most powerful tool used in her
invocation is the Sri Yantra (also called Sri Chakra). Sri
Yantra or Sri Chakra is a formation of 43 triangles transposed
in a certain geometrical pattern within concentric circles
enclosed by squares.
Sacred geometry belongs to the language of the divine. It is
such a powerful tool that the Divine lets only certain individuals
who have transcended their ego-self know its secrets. Everything
from attracting a woman or a man you want, or incredible
wealth, or talking to dead people, to harming your enemies, can
be accomplished through the use of the mandalas. In other
words, mandalas are the DNA codings of a universal energy
system. The Tamil Siddhas are quite adept in this esoteric
system.
Another major gift that I received from Sri Desikar was initiation into the five important mantras representing the five faces
20

in a coma.
Recently during a public gathering, I said that I knew the
ugliness of silence, and this is a commentary about the Divine
coma stage. I must add also I had an extended trance experience
practicing a light technique described in the book, The Secrets of
the Golden Flower.
During my long search for enlightenment, I have had the
grace of several gurus, Siddhas and Divine beings, and I am
grateful to all of them. I have learned something from every one
of them. My ultimate encounter with enlightenment was due to
the infinite Grace of the Dancing Siva at Chidambaram in
India. I have had a very long term relationship with Him in
many, many births. His guiding hand leads me every minute of
my life. Some day He will, through me, reveal the secrets of the
five letters NA MA SI VA YA which is the answer to the
mystery of the universe. Every master comes to the earth-plane
with a mission and his own idiosyncratic version of enlightenment. It is so beautiful to see so many blossoms from God with
such miraculous colors.
It does not make sense to me that the truth is
one/none/many. To me, celebration is the only Truth there is.
This is the secret of the dancing Siva at Chidambaram. Lord
Siva is the eternal dancer who lives both stillness and dance
simultaneously. This is the meaning of the marvelous sculpture
of the dancing Siva Nataraj which has attracted the attention of
the entire world.
During my long path of inquiry through several of my
births, I have found that Truth is open-ended, and even the
Absolute is Relative, as time causes evolution. As digital science
begins to understand the nuances of light and sound waves,
there will be an outburst of wisdom that will bring heaven on
earth. This will be my mission in the years to come. But for
now, I wish to open up the world of secret sounds (mantras)
and other tools.
Some of you may find it helpful to use the book in accompaniment with some of my CDs and videotapes as I cannot put
everything into just a book! But hopefully, you will find some
things here that are useful to you.

The above pages of my autobiography were written in 1997,
and I had put them aside until now. During the past five years
many, many things have occurred. I dont currently intend to
discuss them in this brief sketch of my life. Sometime later if I
find it necessary, I will do a longer version of my spiritual autobiography.
I feel compelled to say something about Nadi astrology.
Nadi astrology is a special form of astrology practiced by the
Siddhas of ancient India. The Siddhas, who are enlightened
beings, recorded on palm leaves the life eventspast, present,
futureof some souls in order to help them in this lifetime.
There are many types of Nadi astrology, and one should
approach them with caution, discrimination, and intelligence.
One of the most remarkable Nadi leaves came from the enlightened sage Saint Visvamitra. There are many types of Visvamitra
leaves, and all of them are not of the same quality. It is fair to

What is karma?
Karma is the spiritual law of cause and effect. Through good
acts you create good karma, and through bad acts you create
bad karma. For instance, if you have done good actions in your
past lives, this lifetime will bring a life of luxury, good health
and happiness. Conversely, bad karma from past lives will create
problems, suffering and poverty in this lifetime.
Can one change his or her karma?
Yes and no. Karma is ones destiny. There are certain types of
karma that you can change, and some types you cant change.
For instance, it is impossible to change an orange into an apple
or a donkey into a horse. But, it is certainly possible to change
ones financial or relationship karma.
We came to the earth-plane to undergo karma. Is it not wrong to
change ones karma?
If you have good karma and that good karma is giving you
good results, you dont need to change that karma. Bad life
created by bad karma must be changed. It is not a good idea to
prolong pain and suffering in the name of God or bad karma.
Do our present acts create karma?
Yes. Not only your acts create karma, but even your
thoughts also create karma. You should be careful about what
you think.
Can I change the karma of someone else?
You could. But I advise against it. When you interfere with
the karma of others, there is always a price to be paid. One
should be strong enough to take on the karma of others before
attempting this.
What is the relationship between karma and reincarnation?
Reincarnation is caused by karma. If there is no karma in
your stockpile, there will be no reincarnation.
How do I change my karma?

it, and they would only use it on special occasions. For example,
when an aristocrat had a date, the aristocrat would ride a bicycle
so as to impress the woman he was courting. It was a status
symbol.
And the funny thing about the bicycle was that the original
bicycle did not have a brake. The man who invented it did not
see the necessity for a brake. He told the aristocrats, What you
do to stop the bicycle is dash against a tree and hold onto the
tree. Then the people who tried this method of course crashed,
and they thought it was a really stupid way to stop a bicycle.
They decided we have to somehow stop the bicycle from
moving in an easier way. So, they invented the brake for the
bicycle.

In this experiment the cancer patients were told that they are
going to receive chemotherapy, and the treatment may cause
loss of hair. The doctors didnt administer chemotherapy, but
instead a placebo was given. Nevertheless, 35 percent of the
people lost hair anyhow.
This led Cousins to make very serious objections about
preventative [measures]. We give some information to people to
help prevent certain things from happening, but it may produce
a countereffect. An innocent woman who doesnt know about
breast cancer is told to examine her breasts periodicallywho
knows what is going to happen? Somebody is going to realize
that fear in a physical form.

relive all the karma that he had to pass through. And, in that
way, he emptied the karma.
Then, there was no more karma to emerge. That is why he
said that total reality is emptiness. There is nothing out there
and in that emptiness you are full. Emptiness is not a negative
quality. Emptiness is unlimited life in which you are not
defined. You are infinite. And that, he said, is the nature of
every human being, to live without karma.
When you become more aware, you see into the limited
circumstances that the mind both creates and makes real. For
example, look at a six-year-old girlshe wants all kinds of toys.
And what is your attitude toward the girl? Why does she want
all these toys? Why does she want chocolate all the time? But for
the kid, it is so real and so tempting.
The same analogy applies to grown-up people also. The
only thing is that they like different toys. The toys are different.
For the grown-ups, these toys are very real.
The Buddha was able to see that all these are games. You
have to end playing these games at some point in your life.
When you do that, you end karma. What can help you come to
this conclusion is more awareness. More awareness means more
intelligence.
The term Buddha means one who has accessed buddhi.
Buddhi means Intelligence. It is not intelligence in the Western
psychological sense. Intelligence is universal understanding in
which you understand everything about yourself and about the
cosmos.
From that perspective, everything seems to be a gamean
illusion. One has to wake up to the reality which is infinite
intelligence. Intelligence is synonymous with awareness. You
have to become aware.
You eat with awareness.
You sleep with awareness.
You study with awareness.

What is a mantra?
A mantra is a magical sound. It is a Divine tool to create
whatever you want to create.
Who discovered the mantras?
The mantras are part of the space energy. (Space energy is
one element among five, the others being earth, water, fire, air.)
Meditating on the space energy, the ancient enlightened yogis
discovered the sounds in deep states of trance, called Samadhi.
How old are the mantras?
The mantras have no beginning nor an end. They are as old
as space and the universe.
What is the oldest extant literature on the mantras?
The Vedas (Books of Knowledge) written in Sanskrit are the
oldest texts on mantras. They may date back to 1500-1000 B.C.
The Vedas talk about the use of mantras to get into nonordinary
states of consciousness and for obtaining spiritual as well as
material things.
How do mantras work to get whatever you want to get?
Mantras are energy forms of matter. For instance, you want
to buy a house or a car. There is a specific energy form that
controls matter that gives you material comfort. In this case, I
recommend the use of the mantra Shreem. You go on using
the mantra repeatedly. The mantra will then attract the
car/house towards you. It is magical.
How can a small sound attract large things like cars/homes?
42
No doubt the mantras are tiny, often with only one or two
syllables. But, is it not true that the atoms, tiny as they are, carry
enormous power? The mantras are called Bijas in Sanskrit which
means seeds. The seed carries the tree within itself.
I compare the mantras to DNA. Each DNA is a miniature
of a particular person. With the help of DNA you can identify a
person, and perhaps in the future, even clone the individual.
Mantras are energy DNAs. You implant them in your mind,
and then you manifest the energy.
How long does it take to get results from the use of mantras?
It varies from person to person. Some people have gotten
results in days, and some take months. The bottom line is that
you use the mantra until you get the results.
I am a very busy person. I dont have the time to sit and meditate. Is
there a mantra that I can practice in a few minutes?
There is a one minute meditation which is very powerful.
See the One Minute Mantra in Part III.
Should I chant a mantra aloud or think it mentally?
Mantras can be chanted as well as used mentally. When the
mind is noisy, use the verbal chanting method. When your
mind is quiet, use the mantra mentally. The thinking method
will quiet the mind and will give you tranquility.
Will there be any bad results that may come out of the mantras?
There are mantras to create bad effects like hurting others,
etc. Those mantras are excluded from this book. I have only put
in benign ones.
I am Christian/Jew/Moslem. Will this practice of mantras interfere
with my religion?
Mantras are areligious, although they were originally discovered by the yogis of India and have long been part of the Hindu
tradition. The practice of a mantra does not convert one to
Hinduism or interfere with your spirituality.

time for meditation with their families, and their children just
know at certain times Mom is doing her thing and is not to
be bothered. Each of you can find the discipline to mediate
daily.
Flowers, candles, incense can greatly help focus the mind for
meditation and spiritual practice. Spiritual statues or pictures of
some deity or enlightened teacher who inspires you can be good
to put in your meditation spot.
To end your meditation or spiritual practice, bringing your
hands together and bowing is an ancient way to seal the meditation and to offer gratitude to the Divine. This gesture of bowing
brings in humility and prevents you from becoming proud of
your practice.
Never forget these basics of purity, humility, and
gratitude.I am so happy that this book is in your hands at
last!

should desire for the best in every area of your life. For example,
if you want a skin cream, go for the best quality.
The purpose of this book is to encourage you to become
conscious in every area of your life. The remedial sounds that I
will teach you are the crux of the teaching.
Beauty is Truth
Beauty, inner and outer, is the best asset you have. Beauty is
Truth, Truth Beauty, John Keats wrote in his poem, Ode on a
Grecian Urn. He was a British poet who was influenced by
Plato. The poem continues, that is all/ye know on earth, and
all ye need to know.
If you think about something all the time, then you will be
able to bring that thing into your life. This is the truth. In order
to think about something consistently for a long period of time
doesnt require any money; it only requires motivation. But as I
said, the motivation will be blocked by your karma. Karma will
not allow any change to happen easily. To overcome Karma, you
only need the commitment that no matter what, you are going
to focus attention on the imperfect parts of your body. It will be
painful in the beginning because nobody wants to look at their
own imperfections, but then you cannot keep things hidden
forever.
In this chapter, you are going to look at your own physical
appearance and personality.
First, you look at the imperfections; and then on a mental
level, make the changes you want and put these ideas out to the
universe.
The universe will then help you to manifest your desires.
This is for manifestations on the level of the body.
Beauty and Spirituality
slim and very, very beautiful, but act as though they have a low
self-esteem. So, it is important for a person to think and feel
that they are attractive regardless of what they do or how much
money they make. It is not just in thinking but rather feeling it
in their bones that is important.
Now, what about your personality? Your personality is an intrinsic
quality with which you are born. Physically, one may be attractive/
unattractive/average/tall/short/medium. Also, behaviorally, one may
be well-mannered/short-tempered/cold/warm/mean/generous.
Your life may go smoothly or may be full of problems.
Unpleasant expressions and experiences of your personality are
due to bad karmic impressions in the body/mind and spirit.
Again, take note of what you want to change.
Personality is not just expressed through a physical appearance or manners, but also through your own psychological
concept of who you are. The truth is, you are God. But then
you have, through an ego identity, created a lot of restrictions.
You have allowed yourself to be defined by your education, your
profession or what you currently do for a living or even whether
or not you have a job. This is not really your personality. Your
vocation is not really what you are. You are beyond all that you
do. You are God. The moment you understand that you are
God, you have will incredible self-esteem and changes will
follow automatically.
VISUALIZING MEDITATION
beautiful, and you are just a joyous being. The mantra Sundaram
is created out of a great sound. It is the sound of pure energy,
which resonates in your heart.
Now go to your own body. Focus attention, particularly on
the imperfections that you have created. Start from the head
and work to the toes. Make note of them one by one. Now
chant this sound. Receive the sound waves. These sound waves
will go and impact every cell in your body: Satyam Sivam
Sundaram.
Relax. Keep this sound, Satyam Sivam Sundaram, in your
consciousness. Chant the mantra, Satyam Sivam Sundaram into
each part for a few seconds:
Right Eye
Left Eye
Right Ear
Left Ear
Right Nostril
Left Nostril
Tip of the Tongue
Middle of the Tongue
Back of the Tongue/Tonsils
Go back into each part again and this time say the sound
silently, on the inner level, bringing the sound waves into a
subtler level of your cells. Visualize the changes you want to
manifest. Be very positive in your visualization. As you do this
meditation regularly, you will find miracles happening.
The sound waves of the mantras travel to the inner space
where energy and matter collapse into one unit. You must be
gung-ho with the chants. Make a serious commitment to work
with them. Discipline yourself to some form of daily practice.
Close your session with the chant Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti,
bring your hands together and bow with gratitude. (Om
Shanti, Shanti, Shanti is an ancient chant for peace.)

the key word. In order to become more aware, you have to end
your old ways of being aware. Right now, the problem is that we
give too much importance to our thought processes. We do not
know anything other than what our thoughts inform us about.
So most of our understanding comes from these thoughts. And
where do the thoughts come from? Most of the thoughts come
from our own personal ego.
Most of the time our thoughts are related to the future; they
are our survival anxiety. Whats going to happen? This is the
nature of thought most of the time. If you give credence to
these thoughts, they will become more and more powerful, and
if you dont, they will lose their power. Thought comes mostly
out of fear. Somehow, we want to protect ourselves and it sets
into motion the thought mechanism. It is not wrong to follow
that process. What is wrong is being closed to another way of
living living in an effortless way.
That is the purpose of meditation. The meditation techniques were developed exclusively for making life easier. How
can we work with energy and get things done? It is very difficult
to work with matter. Matter has very little flexibility, whereas
energy is infinitely flexible. Matter follows very, very strict
rules or laws of nature. As I have said before, an ice cube is
solid matter, but in other forms it becomes steam, snow, and
water. These are all various stages of the same matter, but
when itbecomes ice it loses its flexibility. So we have to get back
to the level of energy. On that level, life is infinitely flexible,
infinitelyeasy.
Thinking Without Thoughts
There is a famous Sufi story. There was a Sufi saint who had
a white horse, and the king wanted this white horse. He offered
the Sufi any price he might name for the horse. The Sufi
rejected the kings offer. The neighbors considered the saint very
stupid, but the saint told them not to judge. A few days later,
the horse was missing, and again, the neighbors called the saint
stupid, and again the saint told them not to judge. Within a few
days, the horse returned, accompanied by several wild horses.
Now, the neighbors came and told the saint that it had been
good the horse had been lost, and again the saint told them not
to judge. The saints only son began training the horses, and
while training the horses, he became badly injured and lost a
leg. Now, the neighbors said how terrible this accident was, and
again the saint told them not to judge. After some time had
passed, there was a war, and all the men that were able to fight
had to leave their homes to fight the war. The war was going
badly, and none of the men that had left were returning home.

Finances
MANTRA: BRZEE
(PRONOUNCED: BREE-ZEE)
There are many reasons why you dont have money. Let me
begin from the beginning of your life. Your mother has just
delivered you. But, unfortunately, you were not born with a
silver spoon in your mouth. Nevertheless, ones birth circumstances with money constraints have serious consequences.
As a child growing into adulthood, you are not going to
have an easy life unless your parents do something to improve
their finances. But as the book, Rich Dad, Poor Dad indicates,
most of our dads (including mine) had no clue as to how to
make money. In a negative parental environment such as this
one, you can do very little to get up and running. Your
consciousness is clouded and you have no energy. You cant go
to a good school because you cant afford the tuition. Why is
this situation happening to you and not to Prince William or
the sons and daughters of a millionaire? There is only one
answer to your question: YOU ARE BORN WITH A BAD
MONEY KARMA.
How to Change Bad Money Karma
then crush them, saying the mantra, Thiru Neela Kantam. Then
throw these scapegoat flower petals away and wash your hands.
Flowers come from a very pure dimension. They carry space
energy, the energy of akash (space). Your karmic records are said
to be stored in the Akashic Records, the realm of space energy.
And flowers have the occult (hidden) power to help you access
Akashic Records. This spiritual technology is like directly
updating a database! I promise you, if you work with the flower
petals and the mantra, you will find tremendous benefit from
this secret ritual. Those of you who have my Thiru Neela
Kantam CD should listen to it everyday, even if it is just playing
in the background while you are doing the dishes or driving
your car to work.
The flower ritual comes from Divine law, not human law.
Divine law deals with spirit. It is difficult to change deep-seated
karma through behavioral techniques. This technique is part of
Divine Knowledge, and many, many people in the world will
now benefit from it. Repeat this flower ritual every day. Tell
yourself firmly, I do not want to go through this karmic life. I
must dissolve it and create some other karma, something more
fruitful. If you do this flower ritual every day, your human ego
and doubt will get out of your way. You will begin to desire in a
more authentic way. What supports a prosperous mind are
desires that are authentic, genuine and healthy. Without
desires,a prosperous mind falls apart. So I repeat this truth to you,
what supports prosperity is desire. So the fire of alert
consciousness and desire must be burning all the time. You must
cultivate that consciousness. When the mind begins to blahblah, say Shut up! and put something interesting in the mind
instead. If moreand more people will live this teaching, we can
create a societyof conscious individuals.

ficial prey had any deformity, that prey was not eligible for sacrifice.
So the robbers examined the king, and then they found his
finger was cut. They let the king go. The king came back home
and released the minister from prison. The story expresses the
idea that good things happen to us, and yet, we do not know it.

with gratitude.
Money and Energy
Im going to teach you two important techniques of attraction. It is very important that your eyes should be focused on
the things you want to manifest. The eyes are very important
organs in the thinking process. There is a saying in English,
Out of sight, out of mind. So in order to have something in
mind, you have to have it in sight.
So do this: write on a little piece of paper whatever you want
to manifest, and it should be very, very legible and put it up it
all over the house. Go to the workplace, and then put it on your
desk. You happen to see the figure, the numbers that you want
to manifest. It will have tremendous impact on your consciousness. Thats one thing.

Picture Abundance
Im going to give you another dimension, a spiritual dimension, to help you manifest wealth. Now stop thinking about the
questions and just be with me. And Im going to ask you to
imagine certain symbols. Visualize the ocean. But this is not an
ocean full of water, but an ocean full of milk. Its a milky
ocean. It is endless, with waves of milk dashing against the
shore. It is so brilliant. Its all white. And now you see a moon, a
full moon,coming out of this milky ocean and shooting into the
sky. Themoon moves up and up and up into the sky. And now
you find a white elephant, an enormous white elephant
coming out of this milky ocean. And it walks on the milky
ocean. And it comes toward you. And this white elephant goes
into your thirdeye and becomes part of you.
Now you see a magical white horse. This horse has wings.
The white horse is coming toward you. It also gets into your
third eye and then merges with you. And now, you see a money

When you wake up in the morning, just get into the NOW:
80
Yet the Bible says that God created man in His own image.
So you have everything within you. All that you need to do is
get rid of your ego. Your ego is responsible for the separation
between you and God.
The moment you bring in the energy of NOW, you can
effect a lot of changes in your life. You can diffuse your diseases
because a disease is something of the past that hangs on to the
body because the body is in the past. The body cannot move,
and it has caught hold of an idea in the past. Because of the
material nature of the body, it clings onto the idea and lives that
idea of sickness for a certain time. But you can educate the body
to diffuse that idea by diffusing the concept of time. You can
cause the body to live in the NOW as well. The body has to live
the NOW. Once the body begins to live the NOW, then the
disease which was created in the past disappears.
So, people have to be systematically taught how the body
can live the NOW. How the cells of the body can be trained to
remain in the NOW. The cells also think. It is not only the
brain that thinks. The cells are also bound by the concept of
time. The cells must think: NOW... NOW... NOW...
NOW... NOW. When the cells pick up the NOW, they lose
interest in the old concept, and they will begin to live in the
Divine energy.
The same thing can be applied to relationships. One
morning I received a call, and not a very uncommon call at that.
This is one of the many calls that I receive: Dr Pillai, am I
goingto marry this person? My heart is drawn to him. What do
you say? Can you get into a Divine sphere and tell me whether
thisperson is out there for me? When am I going to marry him?
And I tell say, Look, it is your decision. It is not his deci82
sion. If you want to marry him, then marry him and have that
experience. But, one thing you must understand, that once you
get close you may not even want the experience. Every experience is a game that you are playing. But without playing games
there is no life. So play games, but play intelligently. Remember,
you should not make your lifes happiness dependent on
anything other than your own consciousness.
Your consciousness is full. It is completely full. It doesnt
need any experience whatsoever to make it happy or unhappy. It
is beyond happiness or unhappiness. It is bliss. However, being
conditioned by the body-mind, you are seeking some experience.
Go and have that experience, but no experience is going to
give you ultimate happiness. Ultimate happiness is the realization of the souls true nature.
Everything is a game. Continue to play the game, but play it
well.
Be Like God
Practice Chaotic Breathing for two minutes. Exhale continually with vigor and visualize all the impurities leaving the body.
Practice the Ham Sa breathing technique for three minutes.
Exhale with both nostrils and mentally say, Ham. Then inhale
with both nostrils and mentally say, Sa.
Practice the Looking Up meditation for five minutes. Keep
the eyes closed and raise the eyeballs up as high as you can.
Pretend that you are watching the top of the sky. Imagine that
there are two parallel lines emanating from the eyes, and these
go straight up into the sky. Follow the two lines up as high as
you can. Bring the two lines together to find the point of
infinity. Now feel the connection between the point of infinity
and the third eye between the two eyebrows. Now feel the
channel that runs from the third eye and then down the spine
to the base of the spine.
Practice the Ah meditation for 10 minutes. The sound
Ah I received directly from the Siddha Nandi. In the Hindu
world, Nandi is depicted in the form of an enlightened bull.
Just as the Greeks have a story of Prometheus who stole fire
from heaven, Nandi kind of stole this Ah technique from
Kailash (Sivas heaven) because of his compassion for the
suffering of humanity. So, we are very grateful to him for this
Ah meditation. The whole world now knows this sound
through the efforts of Dr. Wayne Dyer, whom I authorized a
few years ago to teach the technique in his seminars.
Close your eyes...
Keep your hands still. Dont move your hands.
We are going to play a trick with our own mind. Just
pretend that you have lost the ability to move the hands. Its a
pretension. And although you may want to move the hands,
you cant move them. Its a pretension.

Lets practice Ah. Now imagine the sound going into the
third eye in between the eyebrows as you recite Ah.
You have to do it with emotion. Just listen how I recite
Ah. Lets do it together Ah.
Now whisper it Ah. Now whisper Ah three times.
Now in the third eye the sound, Ooh.
Lets do another recitation. Close your eyes. Ooh.
Ooh is the next stage in the material formation of the
world. First it starts with Ah, and then it becomes
Ooh. So, when we recite Ooh, we are entering into
the second stage in materializing pure energy.
Lets do it again: Ooh.
Let your whole body vibrate to the sound Ooh.
Now make the whole world vibrate with the sound Ooh,
the trees, the building, everything around is vibrating to
the sound Ooh as you recite Ooh.
Continue to do Ooh.
Now while you are reciting Ooh, close your eyes. Subtly
bring into your consciousness the things you want to
manifest, but it should not be done in an overly
pronounced way. Do this visualization very subtly as a
passionate feeling to create the things you want to manifest within the consciousness.
While you are reciting Ooh, subtly think about the
things you want to manifest. Ooh.
Now, go back to Ah. When you do the Ah, also bring
in the thought you want to manifest into physical
reality. Ah.
Now go to Ooh.
MORNING MEDITATION
the energy rising from your sex center up to your third eye.
Then, introduce the thought you want to manifest into your
third eye and continue to chant Ah, embracing your manifestation with all desire and emotion. For the next few minutes,
chant Ooh at the third eye and fill out the manifestation
see it, touch it, feel it, smell it, taste it. For the last few
minutes, chant Ma and know that the manifestation has taken
materialform; it is already here. Stay positive about this. Keep a
confident attitude toward the manifestation.
EVENING MEDITATION
Begin with ten minutes of the Thiru Neela Kantam meditation. For the first five minutes, mentally say, Thiru Neela
Kantam and picture three arrows of light piercing the brain
and penetrating through to the heart. For the next five minutes,
mentally say, Thiru Neela Kantam and focus on your throat,
visualizing a blue color. Imagine your karma escaping through
your throat.
Meditate using the Yogic Sleep CD.
Practice the following contemplation upon waking up:
What unlimited possibilities could happen today?
Visualize some outrageous possibilities filling with beautiful opportunities.
Practice the following contemplation before bed:
What have I been thinking about today? Do I want these
thoughts to be my reality?
Practice the following during awareness times:
Bring Trishulam into your awareness consistently during
these awareness times. Say it at least five times, either out loud
or inwardly.

silently. Do the affirmations which will bring you back into the
timeless reality. It is very easy to change your life if you commit
yourself to the risk-taking aspect sound. Do not follow the
normal pace. If you do not take care of your destiny, then
destiny will take care of you!
Make up your mind right NOW. Do not allow time to pass
by. Once you have made a decision, you have to remain gungho. I will provide you with all the spiritual help that is needed
to enable you to progress with these tools. Have a picture of me
and look in my eyes. You will have an instantaneous transformationbecause I do not represent any part of the normal life on
this earth-plane. That is what I can offer you, silently; words are
not needed. You will come within my vision and there is transformation. I am empowering every sound, every technique, and
every suggestion in this book with a tremendous spiritual
power. I came here to help humanityglobal change,
individual change. They will come together. I encourage you
to do yourpart.
You cannot afford to waste time. I have immense compassion for you because I know how hard it is on the earth-plane
just to get by. Ignorance comes and envelops you. You are with
me as long as you turn to me with open hands. I am fully available to you. This statement is the most important part of this
book. I will send you incredible opportunities in life. Just look
to me, and I will look to you. Having kept me in your
consciousness, there is no way you will fall into mediocrity,
because you will become as you think. When you focus on an
enlightened teacher, that light comes into you.

Happiness and Material Comforts
MANTRA: SHREEM SHREENG SIRIYUM SIRIYUNG
(PRONOUNCED: SHREEM SHREUNG
SIR-I-YM SIR-I-YUNG)
appiness and comfort are two different categories. Money can give comfortsa nice car,
a beautiful home, relaxing vacations, and so
forth, but not necessarily happiness.
Happiness comes out of doing what one likes. Happiness is an
expression of ones own heart. The key input is that opening the
heart chakra is important for a free flow of emotions that lead to
happiness. In general, thats why Nietzche said, I could only
believe in a God that would know how to dance. The joyous,
celebratory energies of song, dance and music are sources of
happiness. This chapter presents some spiritual tools for you to
have both happiness and material comforts in abundance.
To start with, I want you to look at issues concerning your
practical needs on this earth-plane. I want to make your life
easier. As embodied beings, we all require that the body be kept
healthy, and this body needs to be fulfilled. A primary requirement that everyone has is comfortable roof over your head. I
know that different people want different life styles, but
everyone must have, at least conceptually, an idea of a comfortable house.
Ones soul remembers how it lived in a past life and wants to
create the same situation now. Because of past life bad karma,
95
Most people have been taught that life is suffering. This is all
wrong thinking, wrong teaching. We have to get back to our
own original unlimited Self, which is pure, unending joy. This
will be part of our consciousness as we move into the next
millennium. Currently, many people have become specialists in
impossibilities. Forget it; I cant afford it right now. I cant even
afford a two-bedroom apartment. How do you think I can
buy a house? The moment you have said this to yourself, you
will never be able to buy a house, because you are being
negative. Somewhere something has gone deeply wrong within
us if we cannot even wish good things for ourselves. We
cannot wish that we could have a beach house. Why not?
Because the logickicks in, No, no, there is no money.
Money is not needed. What is needed is just the pure desire
to have a house. Once the desire is there, then you can manifest
it. This is the bottom line. How can you get that desire into
your consciousness? That is the key issue. There are spiritual
techniques that change the very core of your consciousness so
that you will be able to alter your negativity.
Change your life through your own spirituality. Use spirituality principles to enhance your practical life on this
earth-plane.
Squaring Things Away
I am going to help you change your life mostly through spiritual technology. I just want you to be conscious of one thing:
the number four. It represents the geometrical figure, the
square. We are going to square things away! If you have an
understanding of the square in your consciousness, you will find
that it leads to your having to settle many issues that are related
to matter. Housing is one. Housing is the most fundamental.
Cut out squares and put them everywhereon the refrigerator, on your books, in your bathroom, wherever you can, so
101
Once you have the house, you need a car. This chapter gives
techniques where you change your car consciousness. I have a
very strange reputation of giving new cars to my students. It all
happened when I first started a program a few years ago because
people needed to change their consciousness about cars. When I
first started one of my year-long Personal Transformation
Programs, one woman, in the second week, bought a Mercedes.
Before the program ended, at least three other people in the
program bought Mercedes-Benzes. That happened because they
were able to get that desire into their consciousness.
Consciousness is everything. Once you have the right
consciousness, it can change everything. When I first went to
California, I met an engineer. He came to pick me up in his old
pick-up truck. He had such a bad consciousness. He told me
that the truck had been with him for twelve years. It was a
miserable experience for me because he had to put my luggage
in the back, and there was rain while we were driving to his
house, and my luggage got wet. I had to make him aware of the
mistakes he was making with regard to his car consciousness.
Within two months of working with the techniques, he
boughta Mercedes.
Whatever you put in your consciousness will manifest. So, if
you put a junky car or a junky apartment in your consciousness,
dont blame God, dont blame destiny, dont blame your lack of
education. Do not blame anyone. If you have to blame
someone, blame yourself. To blame someone else is a cop out.
102
There is no one else to blame. You are the creator of all these
dramas. You can create a good drama or a bad drama. But you
have to take responsibility for whatever you create. Dont say
you are a victim of circumstances. One is never a victim. You
can just walk out. You can just say, Thats it, I cannot handle
this misery anymore. I have just committed myself to happiness. Then you will realize it in your life.
It is very important to realize how powerful you are. Make a
decision that you are going to square away these things. That is
why I want every one of you to make a commitment in this
chapter that you will square away things.
Most people dont have good houses or nice cars. But some
of you may want to establish a new consciousness permitting
these. Say to yourself, I am going to have a beautiful house
and a beautiful car. Once you have talked your mind into it, it
willhappen. If not now, maybe a year later.
I remember one lady who was following my teachings got so
upset because she was driving a car worth about $400. I saw her
walking out of the seminar room and kicking her car. She said
to her car, You represent my consciousness, and I do not want
you! She was literally kicking her car. Do you know what
happened? The following day, her mother called and said, I
had a huge check come in from someone who I thought would
not pay back the money [owed]. The first thing I want to do is
to get rid of my old Cadillac and buy a new Cadillac car. I am
going to give you my old Cadillac for free because I do not need
it. The woman from my class was amazed how well the technique worked for her!

Now, lets do this meditation. You can either lie down or sit
comfortably.
Close your eyes. Ignore all your thoughts.
Thoughts will come and go.
They are just aberrations.
She has a light body; she is very radiant; her body is gold in
color.
Her body is pure gold, and you can see the radiance from
out of the milky ocean as she is coming out.
She is sitting on a sweet-smelling lotus flower, and you
look at her crown, for she is wearing a golden crown.
Look at her face.
She is very beautiful.
She has four arms.
She is sitting on this lotus flower.
Now, her eyes are closed as she fully emerges out of this
milky ocean.
She is opening her eyes.
She looks at you.
As she looks at you, two rays of light emerge out of her
eyes and fall into your eyes.
You are transformed.
You are now in communion with the goddess Lakshmi!
Receive her energy.
Square away your consciousness.
Then there are other happenings right on this milky ocean.
You see, by the side of Lakshmi, on her right side, an
elephant.
This elephant is a magical white elephant.
You see another white elephant on her other side.
A little farther away you see a money tree come out of this
ocean.
You go close to this money tree.
The leaves are golden.
This money tree has a special ability to grant your wishes.
You just go and hug the tree. You are going to go and talk
to the gold leaves.
Now make a prayer to the leaves in the money tree.

into the earth. Some people who live in city apartments with no
yard, collect their used flower offerings into a paper or plastic
bag and scatter them in a park or field when they take a walk in
open nature.
Continue to work with the tools that appeal to you.
Meditate on Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, using the various
symbols from the milky ocean which belong to our archetypal
consciousness. This will aid you in creating prosperity
consciousness.

your ego that you stop the flow of grace. Ego devises many
devious ways in order to get things done. Drop off your ego;
then you can get into the field of grace. It is important to
understand this point. You will never come to grace through
your mind. Grace is beyond mind, beyond ego.
We have been trained not to believe in God. We have been
trained to believe in our self, in our own ego, in our own mind.
You have to make a tremendous effort to believe in God.
Making a Connection with God
I want to give you some tools to access a personal connection with God. Your connection may not be the same as your
neighbors, so you must pick the right tools that suit you. To do
that, you must do some self-assessment.
Every individual is different. One may be very intellectual,
while someone else is very emotional, yet another is skeptical.
Each human being has certain innate qualities. In order to
access the grace of God, each individual must look inside and
find what type of individual he or she is. Depending upon that,
one can get into a practice which will be useful for finding God
and Gods grace.

CANDLE TECHNIQUE
Everyone can work on the practice of becoming more vigilant to think thoughts that do no harm. Use an hourly beeping
watch to check your thought process. If you detect that the
mind is indulging in hatred, change the thought.
Keep consciousness around food and eat foods that do not
harm you. Each persons body is different.
The positive quality to focus on to break up problematic
energies is service to others. If you do service with a pure heart,
it comes back to you multiplied a thousand-fold. Each of you is
capable of doing more than you think to help others, and this
generates positive energy.

insist that you shape up not for the guy/girl, but for yourself. I
have advised a lot of insecure guys who go on buying gifts
because they fear that the girl is going to leave and that is not
right behavior either.
Control doesnt work at anytime. The bottom line is that no
one wants to be controlled, although everyone wants to control
the other person. I am not saying that control is not needed.
Control is an organizing principle that gives stability and security.
Cultural laws are based on control. But then, there is a
natural control and an imposed control. The control mechanism that comes out naturally is based on love. The control that
comes out of social/cultural/legal obligation doesnt hold for
long. Sigmund Freud discussed this issue in his writing,
Civilization and its Discontent (see The Case of Dora and
other essays).
Interpersonal Relationships and Success in Life
No Mr./Ms. Right
There are two answers for this question. Check if you are by
nature negative. Do a self-analysis of your own behavior.
Secondly, the fault may be largely the other persons.
I want to talk about a specific situation. Lets say you got
into a relationship. For a few years, everything was rosy, but
now you completely hate it. However, you dont want to leave
and start another nightmare. You say to yourself, if possible, I
want to change this nightmare into a sweet dream. How do I do
it? You may go into analyzing what caused the change in the
relationship. You may think that if there is a change in the
finances/career/social situations/new people in your life,
something will shift. One or many of these categories may be
contributing to the relationship failure. It is important that you
analyze these factors. But most importantly, look at the planets
that govern your relationship with your mother/
father/siblings/spouse. Working with the planets is more
productive because the planets are at the root of your
symptoms.
Relationship is Karmic
Relationship is irrational. To use religious language, relationship is karmic. You often marry the man or women you have
married at least five times in previous lives. In each lifetime, you
got married and kept the marriage partly or fully. And, again
you do it in another lifetime. Every human being has gone
through millions of lifetimes and several millions of relationships. Since you dont remember past lives, you dont
understand what is happening now. You may have murdered
your wife/husband in a previous lifetime. He/she has to come to
avenge you. He/she may get married to you and give you
constant problems.
Or, you may be involved in an abusive relationship where
you hurt each other on an hourly basis, establishing psychic
routines. Sometimes you cry out: God, I want this to be over.
133
God will eventually make you understand that you are God.
When you become God, then there will be no animosity, fingerpointing, abuse, hatred or anger. You will be just love. You love
everyone unconditionally and not because both of you scratch
each others back, although that may appear to be kind of nice.
You may reply back to God: God, thats all fine. But do you
have a remedy for my tooth-ache? (meaning your pain in your
current relationship situation). God says: Yes, I do. Use the
mantra KLEEM.
Kleem is a seed syllable for Parvati who is a feminine aspect
of the Divine, a goddess who can assist you with relationships.
Some people say it is selfish to pray for a relationship, but I
say it is important to ASK for what you want. These same
people have no problem to go into a restaurant and tell the
waitress what food they want for dinner that night. If you do
not giveyour request to the waitress she cannot serve you.
My suggestion to you is get a set of Rudraksha mala beads
and chant KLEEM 108 times on a daily basis. It will silently
remedy your relationship problems. (Also, watch month seven
of my Personal Transformation Program video set. It has a very
powerful meditation for relationship problems.)

not just celestial objects. Each planet is a celestial being, and the
celestial body is only an outer manifestation of the planetary
being. The planetary being, in turn, is governed by a god. When
remedies are being suggested, several of these factors are taken
into consideration.
Relationship problems are caused, primarily, by two planets:
Mars and Venus.
Mars
Mars is the pre-eminent problem for fights between partners. Mars represents ego and quarrels, which are also ego based:
Who is bigger, me or you? I make more money. You dont
deserve me. I am way, way above you.
Mars also will create delays (because of fears, insecurities,
and so on). You may be dating a guy/girl, but you put off doing
anything serious. At the end of the day, you go home separately.
Not that you dont love each other, but then, there are trust
issues or fear issues or something else. All these problems are
created by Mars. Mars is funny. He can make you extremely
sexual or dry up your desire and juices. Particularly with
women, Mars can play lots of games. He will manipulate their
menstrual cycle and play hardball with their emotions. Mars is
also related to menstrual fluid. He can make a woman mean
and a man a philanderer.
Unless you are a Mars person (dont ask me what that
meansyou may want to talk with a Vedic astrologer!), dont go
on a date on Tuesdaysperhaps, that will be the last date. (But,
remember that may not be so bad!)
A Mars person is more inclined to pull out from a relationship. Even a small disagreement will trigger a serious break up.
It is fair to say that almost sixty percent of breakups, separation,
and divorce are caused by Mars. Its funny that I am writing this
section today (December 2, 2001, time: 2:50 p.m. If you are an
astrologer, you can do a chart for this time and see where Mars
135
is).
As I write this, Mars is appearing before me with his planetary god, Muruga, and feels happy. Those of you in conflict
with each other might want to propitiate Mars and his planetary
god, Muruga.
To do this, you light a candle (a small tea-candle is fine) in
front of their pictures and chant their mantras.
Chapter 8
Obstacles and Longevity
Venus
Venus is another planet that is directly related to relationships. Venus particularly creates romance more than sex.
Between Mars and Venus, Mars is associated with sex, and
Venus with romance. Venus energy is very active on Friday. This
is the reason why lots of people go crazy on Friday evenings.
The romantic energy of Venus causes you to blindly fall in love,
without scruples. It is only later that you understand your
mistakes. Most of teenage love is caused by Venus. Venus energy
leads to lots of partying, movies, wine and beer.
Passionate love feeling or passionate separation are caused by
Venus. The planetary goddess for Venus is Lakshmi. You can
propitiate Venus and Lakshmi through the following mantras.
MANTRA: OM SHUKRAYA NAMAHA

principles.
Once I visited a student of mine at her house. Her son was
swimming in the pool. Looking at him I thought there was
something seriously wrong with the boy. I asked her to do two
things. One, to get a Nadi reading for him. Two, take him to
the doctor for a physical. The Nadi reading came back and said
that the boy will have some life threatening periods. One would
be at the age of six and another at the age of 18. A few remedies
were suggested. I personally got involved and saved the boys
life. I am not too much interested in the medical part of his life.
So I wont discuss it here.
Apart from mantras, numbers do play a great role in influencing life. I have briefly talked about number four and six and
their positive and negative values. The number eight is tied to

Lets first talk about time and karma. Say that, karmically,
you have been involved in a job for ten years and that during
that time you were very focused on what you are doing. Lets
suppose that on the eleventh year you suddenly say to yourself,
Oh my GodI have been so stupid; I spent ten years doing
these stupid things. And, subsequently, on the eleventh year
you might end up doing something which would bring you
more money. In the eleventh year, perhaps you would make in
one deal all the money you made in the past ten years. It is a
matter of intelligence.
And why did you realize it at the eleventh year and not
during the ten years that passed by? It is because of karma. You
never sat down and analyzed it. Thats why I recommend that
people should contemplate and think about what they are
152
54
155
Why does Siva want to kill time? The reason is because time
slows everything down. We want to be timeless. In the Hindu
mythology, there is a different association of time with different
gods. What we humans experience as one year is just one day
for the angels. One year of work that we do can be done by
angels in one day. The gods are better processors of time. One
year is one hour. So if someone is getting paid $100,000 per
year, if you are a God, you will get paid that much per hour.
Vishnu does better than Brahma: one year for Vishnu is 15
minutes; for Brahma, 30 minutes. For Siva, one year is 1
millionth of a second. He moves very fast. For Him, everything
about the world is a joke and He wants to help you out of this
world. This mantra brings in the very fastest energy.

I want to make a distinction here between profit and profession. The tenth chapter of this book focused on profession or
career. This chapter is about profit. It is very important to
make a distinction between the tenth house and the eleventh
house, because sometimes you may do something for business
or job that may not be the source of profit. Profit can come
through many ways, which may not be directly related to your
job orbusiness. It could be an investment in which you are
not directly involved, a windfall or inheritance. Profit is not
necessarily directly related to what you are doing in your
career. It may be something that you do with others in which
the other person plays a primary role and you play a lesser role.
You can have several of these kinds of investments. For
profit, youshould be open to different areas, not just focused on
one thing.

You have to see what the ego structure is and how thoughts
come to your mind, and how what you seethe appearance of
thingsare only illusions that come through a limited awareness. We block much of our total potential awareness in order
to have an ego experience. All that we process is just a linear ego
experience. We disallow any other experience to come through
us. Even scientists agree that we only use five to ten percent of
our mental potential. So, what happens to the rest of the brain?
This information is blocked by the mind. Now, it is very important at this point in time that our responsibility to the world is
over so we have more time to reflect on, What is the nature of
life? How are we going to deal with our own consciousness?
This is very, very important because it is going to give us an
insight into what we are going to be doing in the future,
whether we want to come back to this earth-plane or end reincarnation and the cycle of birth and death.
Is there Lasting Happiness?
One thing that I must tell you is that nothing of this earthplane is going to give you lasting happiness. Money is a
motivating factor for many of you as long as you dont have
money. However, once you have money, then you will find that
it has its own limitations. There are other things that you still
need to deal with, like an aging body, aches, pains, diseases and
so forth. But, still, we love this painful body. And we have not
yet considered a way of mastering our limitationsat the level
of the mind and at the level of the body.
A man came to me and said, Dr Pillai, I will come back to
you when I am say, seventy, and have stopped working. He was
then sixty-five. And I told him, You are already sixty-five, and
you want to work for five more years, even though there is no
need for you to work anymore because you already have all the
money in the world. But he thinks that he should come to me
only when he can no longer make any more money. Thats the

channel, which is invisible. We dont usually access it because we
spend most of our time blah blah-ing. Either we blah blah to
ourselves or to another person. It is important for everyone to
shut up and meditate for a while everyday.
During this millenium, our spiritual nature is going to be
revived. We are going to understand more about spiritual laws.
This is realling going to give us a new life. Now let us go to the
mantras that can open your spiritual awareness.
The sounds that youll be learning later on during the
Meditation portion will deliver you from bondagethe
bondage of the human mind and body. It will also help you cut
down on expenses caused by lack of consciousness or awareness.
Sun and Seeds of life
I want you to learn how you can strengthen the life energy
within you. Technically speaking, what promotes life is the
energy of the sun. Without the sun, there would be no life on
the earth-plane. The rays from the sun not only support life,
but the rays of the sun are indeed seeds of life itself.
The sun represents the reflection of the soul. Obstruction of
the suns energy on any level creates unhappiness. You may have
heard about winter depression. Some people get depressed in
the winter because of the non-availability of positive rays, which
are joys of nature from the sun. These people are normally asked
to expose themselves to bright light in order to treat their
depression. Even ordinary people dont feel happy during
wintertime when there is less sunlight. So, bright light is used to
treat winter depression. In the spring when you see the sun and
the sunlight is available more frequently, you feel so much
happiness!

CHAPTER 12: EXPENSE AND ENLIGHTENMENT
Many years ago when I gave a New Years Eve lecture in Los
Angeles, I talked about the ignorance of the Buddha. I said the
Buddha lived in a primitive society without electricity, air
conditioning or antibiotics. Science and technology, as we know
them today, did not exist then, so the Buddha suffered along
with his contemporaries. They slept on hard floors, walked in
the hot sun, drank dirty water and died of epidemics or clogged
arteries. Although enlightened, Buddha was not only conditioned by lack of scientific or technological knowledge, but by a
crippling monastic and ascetic culture. The Buddha, though he
called himself a rebel and was known for his polemics against
Hinduism, nonetheless was a victim of Hindu asceticism and
celibacy imposed by the Upanishadic tradition of pre-Buddhist
171
and post-Vedic India. This is what made the Buddha leave his
kingdom, father, wife, and son in search of enlightenment. The
ideal was renunciation and asceticism. Desire was seen as the
root cause of misery: Seek nirvana through meditation and end
the cycle of birth and death. The Buddha is understood to have
followed the so-called middle path which avoids extreme life
styles. Did he follow one? Apparently not. He took to begging
and didnt allow women in his monasteries for a long time.
So far I have dwelt on the negative qualities of the Buddha
and his way of life. Is there anything positive about him? Yes
there is a lot. The Buddha knew about the unknowable. He
was a great scientist of superconsciousness and nirvana. He
acquiredtremendous amounts of superhuman and supernatural
powers. He lived like a superman, which in his opinion was
better than being a prince or king. Life to him was worth
renouncing forthe sake of Enlightenment.
I want you to ponder the question: Do we have to renounce
life in order to reach enlightenment? Most religions, if not all,
would say yes to this question. That is how the split between the
layman and the clergythe profane and the sacredwas
created. It is time for all religionists to join together and to
develop a hard-nosed look at their holy men and women, along
with the teachings within their respective traditions. I know that
this will create a lot of turmoil and confusion among congregations emotionally tied to their particular religions and beliefs.
Yet, I am not professing a rationalistic theology. Religion and
spirituality are beyond reason. However, I urge you to look at
the neglect and lack of interest that churches, temples, mosques
and monasteries have suffered. People are less able to relate to
their religion easily except through some form of fundamentalism, which is not a desirable option for those desiring
Enlightenment.
We need to contemporize our religion, faith and spiritual
practices. In order to do this we have to use discernment.
Particularly we need to discriminate between positive and negative enlightenment, ignorant gurus and enlightened gurus. The
following comparisons will help you decide the key factors
about the four categories that I have described for yourself.

But, back to the Nadis, for now. First, Nadi readers will
locate your leaf and any accompanying chapters of information. Then, the readers will locate your first chapter for a general
reading: This information identifies you, your parents and
spouse by name, number of siblings, profession, religion, etc. It
will include general predictions for the future.
They will then locate your two remedial chapters that
prescribe the exact rituals to be performed, which will erase the
balance of your past-life sins, allow you to end the current
suffering and achieve your highest potential in the future.
Subsequently, you can request additional chapter readings on
specific areas of life that you wish to learn about such as jobs,
business, family, marriage, relationships, health/medical issues
and so on. But I insist that the most efficient way to start is with
the remedial chapters: You have so much to gain by cleaning up
the old karma!

Sacred Ash (Vibhuti),
Siva-Shakti Malas,
Crystal Siva Linga
n this chapter I share some tools that were divinely
given, namely Sacred Ash (Vibhuti), Siva-Shakti
Malas (a kind of rosary) and Crystal Siva Lingas.
These tools have been used for centuries by the Tamil
Siddhas who believe that the harmony of spirit, mind and body
results in total perfection. The term Siddha means a perfected,
completed being who lives a life of unending joy. To attain this
level of Siddha success, one must master the ability to inhibit
nonproductive and destructive thoughts and generate creative
thoughts which will lead to perfection. Meditation is the only
vehicle leading to higher consciousness, and ultimately, to that
perfection. All of the tools I discuss in this chapter are tools to
assist your meditative practice. All pathways to enlightenment
involve meditation.
I offer these tools to you to use as protective shields in these
volatile times to help you with attaining peace. Now I want to
answer the question, Where is peace? It is with God. Become
identified with God; you will have peace. There was a great
Siddha called Tiruvalluvar. He wrote, No one gets rid of
worries until he reaches the feet of God.
When I was Manikavacakar, I wrote some lyrics under the
title Sacred War. The lyrics say everyone should engage in a
sacred war against the army of Maya (illusion). The weapon that

The Crystal Siva Linga can also be used with the mantra
Thiru Neela Kantam during Pradosham times as one pours some
milk on the Crystal Siva Linga. The benefits of chanting and
meditating with Thiru Neela Kantam on Pradosham days are
very heightened when combined with pouring some milk on a
Crystal Siva Linga
I have written about the karma-busting mantra, Thiru Neela
Kantam in an earlier chapter. While this mantra is effective at
anytime as both a chant and as a meditation, there are certain
times and days when it is especially powerful. These are called
Pradosham times and days. These are times when it is easier to
get connected to Lord Siva as a window is more open on the
inner planes.

All three of these are ignorant principles. They limit you and
pollute your consciousness. These principles are a misconception of your Self. You are God, period. Your potential is
unlimited. Maya makes this world so appealing. It aids the
process of the individual I consciousness, so you are
entrenched. Then comes karma, which gives a very strong
feeling to experience certain things. The three principles
together create human existence.
Remember, Lord Siva destroys the three cities of limitation. You lose the concept of I, maya and karma. All three
vibrations are within our own consciousness. If they are
removed, you will live as a pure being of unlimited awareness
and there is nothing you cannot do. This is evolution. This is
the meaning of Tripura.
are known by, nor are you the body, nor are you an identity you
think you are: physician, administrator, janitor... Its because of
ego and I consciousness that you limit yourself in this way.
From the perspective of absolute bliss, both the kings
consciousness and the janitors consciousness are strictly limitations in existence. Destruction of the ego is the first step to
evolve to the next stage.
Destruction of the ego does not mean losing the purpose of
ones life and becoming a monk or recluse. Unfortunately, this
has been the interpretation in practice among most mainstream
Indian traditions such as Vedanta and Buddhism. Both the
Vedantans and the Buddhists leave the world and their responsibilities in favor of the other world. True, they kill their
egobut only through denial of a phenomenal existence. Its
not a desirable model.
In fact, this perception has created extreme poverty
consciousness in India. What I emphasize through the destruction of ego is in fact the destruction of limitations created by
ego. Within the Tamil Siva tradition, there is a beautiful story
which illustrates ego identity in its extremities.
The Upanishads, sacred writings from the Vedantic tradition, beautifully described the ego experience of life. What is
life? Is it breathing, thinking, or the experience of sensory activities like touch, seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting? None of these
individual activities can be called life. Even the ego, which coordinates thinking and sensory activities, is not life. Even prana,
which is life energy, is not life. Life is ineffable, continuous bliss,
light and intelligence.
For more understanding about ego consciousness, you can
read selected writings of Ramana Maharishi, an enlightened
teacher who spent his entire life in the quest of finding ego
awareness. His meditation on, Who am I? could be useful in
order to gain the non-ego-self. However, please avoid the trap of
getting lost in the self-inquiry quest, of falling into the pitfall of
inaction.
I want each of you to reflect on the fact that fifty percent of
the world goes to bed hungry at night, and it is not because
there is not enough food on the planet. We must create the
global will to change this right now. It is a sin for these
peopleto be hungry, and it is not pleasing to the Divine.
208
209
Thats the end of your pain and suffering. When you dont
have a flesh body, it doesnt hurt. You wont need food or sex,
money or housing. This is total liberation. The rest of
humanity will have some interim relief, but will have to come
back to worktheir way.

You Do Not Have To Be Hindu
To Use This Material
Please use what makes sense to you from this book
in your own spiritual tradition.
any times people ask me if the sounds are
only for Hindus, and my response is
emphatically, No! These sounds are
genuinely sacred sounds that exist, and
anyone who meditates deeply has the potential to encounter
them independently of any exposure to Hindu material. I want
to make them available to everyone, regardless of any particular
religion. My desire is to give these sounds to anyone who seeks
Light and higher consciousness. Share them with others.
When each of our souls was first created, we were given our
own individual Mantra, a specific word or series of syllables, to
which our spirits will eternally resonate. Every mantra starts
with Om, which is a word of affirmation and ascent, followed
by a tone that is typically made up of two syllables. Mine is
Shreem. (I didnt light up with instant recognition at the sound
214
of my mantra, however.) Apparently and sadly their divine resonance gets drowned out all too often by the noise of our
conscious minds here on earth.Life on the Other Side by
Sylvia Browne, p.111.
Sylvia Brownes channeled information is very useful.
Shreem, which is Sylvia Brownes own mantra, is also Sanskrit
mantra for Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Similarly, the
mantra Kiri is the sound for Kali, the ferocious goddess who
kills demons. I am sure that from what I know of the writings
of Sylvia Browne, that she, herself, is not aware of the Hindu
background of the mantras. Some of the explanations of the
mantras that come from Sylvia are quite profound and esoteric.
For instance Sylvia says that the mantra is the sound of affirmation and ascent. Very few people will understand the depth of
that statement, and this is not the place to discuss it.
However, it is interesting to follow Sylvias thoughts about
the Hall of Tones. She says that mantras will put you in touch
with your genetic lineage. As a matter of fact, you can accomplish a lot of your material goals through the use of mantras.
The success of Transcendental Meditation worldwide is due to
the use of mantras. Sylvia, herself, has given a guided meditation to find out anyones mantra. If you cant find your own
mantra, you can use specific mantras for a specific result.
Need for Universal Religion
Religion is a mysterious force. It is simultaneously both positive and negative. It gives peace to the soul, but at the same
time it also destroys peace. Religion is responsible for great
civilizations and awesome architecture, but conflicts among
religionsdestroy not only those cultural monuments but also the
human race itself. Religions power comes from its total
irrationality anda blind concept of loyalty. Almost every religion,
except a few Eastern ones, claim that each has The Truth and
every other religion or faith is misguided. Often an argument
is put forth
215
that there cant be more than one Truth. There is one Truth
and there are several other misrepresentations of Truth, they
say.
When I was in graduate school, a professor of anthropology
gave a definition of religion as it is understood in the contemporary world. He said, Religion is what I practice and cult is
what my enemy practices. The Jews thought that the non-Jews
(whom they called Gentiles) worshipped a false God, and to this
day they dont think that Jesus Christ was a messiah from
Yahweh, although Christianity became a major world religion.
The Moslems think that there is no God but Allah. Sects within
Hinduism think either Vishnu or Siva is the supreme God. The
Buddha said that there was no God, but unfortunately he
himself was elevated to Image worship along with a host of
other Buddhist Gods and Deities.
In our contemporary civilization, the common man cares
les s f or G od o r r el igio n. Th e a t t en d an c e i n
church/synagogue/temple/mosque is relatively small when
compared with the population who are indifferent to religion.
The danger for society comes from the believers, particularly the
fundamentalists. If we objectively look at the fundamentalist
movements in religion, it will be apparent they are the troublemakers. They have very little tolerance towards other faiths and
live in the belief that they alone have got it right. More often
than not, fundamentalists are obsessed about their respective
Gods and spend their entire lives ridiculing other faiths and
trying to convert non-believers
Although most religions speak of tolerance and acceptance
of other faiths, there are deep problems in putting this concept
into practice. Ones faith is ingrained in the blood and even
penetrates ones bone marrow. It is emotionally impossible for a
Jew to accept Jesus, or a Moslem to accept Krishna. As I pointed
out earlier, religion is irrational; you and I are tied to a particular faith because of past life memories.

During the past three hundred years or so, science and technology have revolutionized human growth. People live longer.
The discoveries and inventions in the field of medicine have
lead to pain reduction, automobiles, air-conditioners, and ever
so many other gadgets that have, no doubt, made our lives
easier. We are still in the process of finding out more things.
However, modern science has failed in one major respect and
that is looking inside the mind machine. Scientists have
stayed away from asking questions about consciousness. For
them it is a gray area and belongs to philosophers. It is very
important that during the new millennium that we pay attention to the mind machine.
For me, they are timeless. The Siddhas have existed forever.
Agastiya whose incarnation I am in this lifetime has incarnated
seventeen times. The historians get confused about the works of
Agastiya; they look at the numerous volumes and volume attributed to Agastiya. They are all written at different time periods,
and yet the Tamil of each is contemporary. The historians
wonder if they are all really by Agastiya or interpolations of
other texts. They wonder if other people wrote something and
then later said this was written by Agastiya, so that their text
will carry some weight. It may have happened in some cases, I
dont rule it out, but then it is also true that Agastiya himself
reincarnated several times, seventeen times or more, and during
each time period he revealed a knowledge, and he used the
contemporary Tamil of that time in order to communicate to
people.
These literatures contain the clue, the missing link, that is
between matter and energy. All other sciences, all other technologies will be open to revision as we incorporate a new, more
profound understanding. We will have to drop off a lot of our
mental constructs, our physical laws, in order to understand this
higher Science.
I was reading Jean Dickson, and a guy who wrote the book
on Jean Dickson had been a newspaper columnist. He records
the predictions made by her. Jean Dickson had a crystal ball
that she looked into. The ball showed her the future. Now I am
referring to this because what is going to be created is similar to
the crystal ball. The question for us is to ask, if Jean Dickson
could do it, why not others? Is there anything special within
the brain of Jean Dickson? Apparently she had the ability to
connect with the crystal ball. The crystal is an energy vortexit
can carry and be a medium of great electromagnetic power. You
can make connections with the crystal, and then you can use
the crystal to see the future and other extraordinary things.
220
Crystal science is a science that belonged to the older civilizations. We have to revive that science because it is truly going to
give us infinite freedom.
