| Lord Haidakhandi Babaji and Shastriji reading |
Sri Shastriji at Siddhashram Schweibenalp May 8, 1985
Now I will share with you the 'most secret aspect' contained in the
Mantra "Haidiyakhandi" (Given to Sri Shastriji by Lord Haidakhandi
Babaji)
With the Grace of Sri
Mahendra Swamiji Maharaja (Sri Shastrijis family guru and chief disciple
of Babaji), the book "Shri Sadashiva Charitamrita" was written and
published in 1961. Within his lifetime, the criticism and interpretation
of this book was also written, but was not published then.
A
short while after Sri Mahaprabhuji (Lord Haidakhandi Babaji) appeared in
1970, He said to me, "In your house there is a written book ready.
Please bring it here." And when I brought this book, "Shri Sadashiva
Charitamrita," to Him, Sri Mahaprabhuji heard it from my own mouth from
the first chapter to the end. And after having listened to the whole
book, Sri Mahaprabhuji commented, "This is perfect. This is what I
wanted." Sri Mahaprabhuji wanted that 'all religions should be united'
and that there should be a book in which they were given a common base, a
universal book.
And I requested of Sri Mahaprabhuji, "Now that
you have appeared before the world, you should give some teaching on
Kriya Yoga." For Kriya Yoga had not been given fully, so I wanted that
Sri Mahaprabhuji should complete His teaching on it.
Sri
Mahaprabhuji told me that now the time is not ripe for the world to know
the 'secrets' of Kriya Yoga. When the time comes, He would open the
Treasure of this knowledge and give it to the world. As you might have
read in the "Autobiography of a Yogi," there is a mention of Kriya Yoga,
and also in many other books like this. But there is no book in which
there is a description of how Kriya Yoga should be done, or how it
should be taught. Everyone was told to go to the master, to the guru,
and find out what it was.
These disciples in search of masters,
kept on wandering here, there, everywhere, and then would find a master
who whispered something into their ears, telling them that this is how
Kriya Yoga is done. But in our Vedic literature and all other religious
books, nothing is secret, everything is open for everyone to interpret
as they wish.
After my 'repeated prayers' to Sri Mahaprabhuji
that He should tell me what I should write, He told me that I should
compose a ninth chapter (of Sri Shastriji's book). For each chapter He
would tell me what I should write. And whatever Sri Mahaprabhuji told
me, I wrote. It was the complete description of Kriya Yoga in His
presence.
Many times He listened to what I had written.
But when He had finished, I prayed to Sri Mahaprabhuji saying, "It will
be impossible for the present mankind to follow this kind of Yoga,
because today, at this stage, human beings eat all kinds of food which
is not pure (as are vegetables, ghee, etc.). I mean all the kinds of
chemical food, and this is why it is impossible for them to follow this
deep and difficult Yoga."
So when I protested to Sri
Mahaprabhuji that nobody would be able to do this Yoga of present
mankind, Sri Mahaprabhuji laughed and said, "Shastriji, don't worry.
This Yoga will be followed by someone who will be born -- there is no
end to time, and there is no end to the universe -- somewhere, a human
being will be born who will understand it and do this Yoga. Maybe, one
person only, and maybe five persons, or maybe a few more will understand
it and will be able to perform and Live this Yoga, and this will be
sufficient to make it available to mankind, for it should no longer
remain secret."
At the same time, Sri Mahaprabhuji told me, "If
you are satisfied, if it makes you happy, I will teach to present
mankind of this yuga (era), the Yoga of "Haidiyakhandi".
And
as I was writing this literature on Haidakhan Babaji (in the 50s), Sri
Mahendra Maharaja one day came by car to my house and told me,
"Shastriji, all this time, we have been writing on Haidakhan, on
Haidakhan Baba, etc., but now I have been given the permission by Babaji
to tell the world the meaning of the name Haidiyakhandi".
So
when I prayed to Sri Mahendra that he should tell me the 'secret
mystery' of the name Haidiyakhandi, he said that at the moment it is all
right to just explain what is Haidiyakhandi. Haidiyakhandi is the one
who lives on the continent of Haidakhan. Just as we have the European
continent, or America and Australia are known as continents, the same
way in India in ancient times, the different regions were known as
continents, and so Mahendra Maharaja said that this is sufficient for
the world to know, that Haidakhan is the continent of Haidakhan Baba who
lives in this continent.
Sri Mahendra Maharaji also said to
me (Shastriji), "I'm revealing to you only a 'very small portion' of
what Haidiyakhandi means, but when Babaji appears to you and the world,
He himself will reveal to you the whole mystery of this Name." (To be
continued in Part 3).
Jai Haidiyakhandi Bhole Baba Ki Jai!
