GURUJI'S GIFT

On the evening of September 19, 1993, Sri Brahmananda 
Sarasvati, (Rammurti S. Mishra, M.D.,..entered 
Mahasamadhi,..the great enlightenment, and was liberated 
from his earthly  body.  He  had visited South Florida every 
year since the early 1970's, and  was last in Ft. Lauderdale 
during May, 1993.  Sri Brahmananda had an extensive 
background in both Eastern and Western Medicine. As  a  
surgeon and professor of medicine, his specialties included 
Ayurveda, neurosurgery, and holistic healing. He authored 
numerous books, 
including "Fundamentals of Yoga" and the "Textbook of Yoga 
Psychology", from Julian Press. 
Sri Brahmananda founded the Yoga Society of  N.Y.  in  1958,  
and numerous other Yoga societies and ashrams throughout  
the  United States, Canada, S. America, Africa, Europe and 
India.
He was a uniquely gifted Sanskrit Scholar, Scientist, Yogi, 
and 


a most loving Teacher. He radiated  love  and  
compassion,  being exemplary in his service and 
inspiration. More than anything,  he wanted to share 
his knowledge and wished Moksha (liberation)  and 
enlightenment for all , a peaceful world, and a pure 
environment. 
Rather than  confuse and mystify  his  students,  he  
would  take you  directly to  an  experiential  level  
by  example.  He  would bring   the   Science   of   
Vibration   to   life,   with   your participation. In 
over twenty years,  I  had  never  known  of  a 
question beyond the capability of his  intellect.  He  
felt  Yoga was for everybody, of every race, religion, 
and culture. His knowledge and teachings were a 
cafeteria in which everyone could share and always 
find something of interest.
In his final months, those who had the good fortune to 
attend 


his programs, received the very unique and special gift of 
his loving vibration. He kept telling us that he was 
always with us. 
He considered meditation on the I-AM, beyond body and 
mind,by means of Nadam (inner sound current), like a jumbo 
jet blissfully flying us over the oceans and mountains of 
life's stressful problems. 
*******************
			The following is Guruji's gift for you...
This is in honor of his Birthday on March 6. 
*******************
(Have someone read this meditation to you,  or  record  it  
on  a cassette tape, reading slowly in a soothing 
manner....
Find a quiet place where you can relax and be,  
undisturbed  from


the outer world...Lie down or sit in a  comfortable  
position.... Watch your body and mind as a witness. 
Do not take part in 
any thinking. Do not control thinking or encourage 
it. If thinking comes, watch it as if it were a 
dream. Watch your body and mind in the same way as a 
mother watches her baby. Know... you are absolutely 
safe and protected... This is an adaptation of a 
meditation given by  Sri  Brahmananda  on  WBAI  FM  
radio,  in N.Y.C., in December of 1974.)
"Now please, close your eyes...
The first step of meditation is to FORGET 
EVERYTHING...,
Even forget your name and form...


Now you are going to examine the cosmic life 
operating through us. 

So enter into your heart, feel this vibration of 
life. 
This Cosmic life, when it enters into your heart, 
becomes your own life...and at the same time, it 
remains cosmic. 
The purpose of meditation is to experience unity - 
the center of unity of this life - Then life 
becomes perfect, blissful, and peaceful. 


So let us enter into our heart and feel first this 
circulation of blood,...because the blood is life, in 
the relative plane. Through the circulation of blood, 
let us enter into the current, into the pulsation of 
energy, into the vital body which is energizing this 
physical body. 
So follow the current of blood from your heart to your 
head, and from the head to the heart. DEEPLY 
RELAX....AND FEEL.
Your whole head and brain  is  saturated  with  the 
vibration  of blood and energy, and with that 
circulation is the pulsation 
of electricity - the current of PRANA. 
Follow this current of blood from your heart to your 
shoulders, arms, palms and fingers...and from them to 
the heart. 
Deeply relax every muscle, every bone...Be as a witness. 
You have nothing to  imagine here. Stop all 
imaginations. Just enter...and.
You experience a change in you..a current - your head 
and arms 
-you can feel directly...NOW they are filled with cosmic 
vibration. 
Follow the current of blood and electricity, from your 
heart to your chest, to your abdomen, and the organs in 
your chest and abdomen. 
Follow the current of blood and electricity, from the 
heart to 


your legs, feet, and toes; and from them back to the 
heart. 
Without any  fear  enter  into  deeper and deeper 
contact with the Cosmic life. Feel the circulation of 
blood and electricity from your heart to your skin. 
Relax your skin. 
Feel a constant and continuous current of electricity 
from your heart to every part of the skin. The direct 
vibration you feel - circulation of blood and the 
current ofenergy from your heart to all muscles, and 
from them back to the heart.
Keep your body absolutely  free from all voluntary 
motions so 
that you may experience the vibration and motion of 
cosmic energy operating in you and around you. 
Now enter into further meditation, and  go  deeper  
into the Current of electricity from  your  heart to 
all bones and  your entire skeleton. The bones are the 
factories of blood and of life. 
Now experience  a  further and  deeper state - current 
of energy from the heart to the entire body - to each 
and every  cell  of the body. There are trillions and 
trillions of cells in the body, and each and every cell 
has trillions and trillions of electrons, protons, and 
neutrons. Every cell is the factory: every cell is the  
powerhouse  to  produce , to  generate , and   
regenerate electricity. This you will know directly by 
means of meditation.
So now,... follow the current of blood and electricity 
from your 


heart to the entire body, to each and every cell of 
your body, and vice versa, from each and every cell of 
your body to the heart. Back and forth.... There are 
more cells in number in our body than the grains of 
sand on the total planet... or stars in the heavens.
Experience this. Now you feel, no more, your physical 
body... This vital body of energy, now you feel. Each 
and every particle of your body is projecting 
electromagnetic vibration...
Now your body is ready to enter into  space... 
You feel like radio waves, like cosmic waves,...in 
contactwith 
the sun, moon,.... stars, all planets and  comets.  
This powerful vibration you can  feel  by  means  of 
this  vital body, which is keeping alive this physical 
body. 
Feel it. It is a very pleasant , a very blissful 
experience...


You feelnow yourbodyas the cosmic television, as 
the cosmic radio. 
The more you  intune to your body....through this 
meditation, the more you transcend the relative 
universe; and the more you transcend the relative 
universe, the more you experience transcendental 
reality.


Once more - Deeply relax your body again and remove any 
tension that you find anywhere and let your body operate 
freely. You are the witness...Feel the free flow of 
energy  like the radio waves. 
Experience these waves from every particle of your body 
radiating to the Sun, Moon, Stars, Planets, and Comets. 
Also experience mutual radiation from them to your body. 
The more you break prejudice and inhibitions, the more 
you overcome fear, the more you take new and newer 
adventure to enter into your inner life. 
Now you feel a powerful current from your brain to every 
part of your body, and from every part of your body to 
your brain and heart
You will feel happiness and bliss beyond human language, 
beyond human tongue...and You will feel the blessings of 
natural healing.
Then you will know your true form, that is to say, the 
true "I-AM"  or OM, your true home.
Now  experience this ocean of vibration and feel further 
this 


ocean of vibration entering into the ocean of living 
vibration, the physical vibration,... the electrical 
vibration, entering into living vibration....
Now summarize your experience, and before entering 
into relative experience coming from the 
transcendental state of meditation, please try to 
bring, try to carry with you this memory back to the 
relative plane...So you can understand the universe 
around you, the meaning and purpose of life..."


Remember, Enlightenment is not something to be 
obtained, it is your very nature...Realize this...
