Did you attend the Maun Saadhna at Pitampura on Sunday, 16th<\/sup>\u00a0September 2012?<\/strong> If <\/span>not, then you have missed a tremendous Jam session of thoughts. Attended by around 40-45 people, this gathering, no doubt, encountered a surprise shuffle in the subject of the meeting. But what happened was very informative and why not?<\/span><\/p>\n

What are Maun Saadhna and its benefits?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Maun Saadhna<\/strong>\u00a0is a practice of Taciturnity or Silence. But Silence here is not speechlessness. It is the Silence of the Mind. This is a unique meditation done under the guidance of Sharat Sir, in which we usher our mind toward the Silence of thoughts. Gradually when the mind becomes free from thoughts, it enters the realms of infinity, enlightened with the brightness of energy, and thus focuses on the ultimate without any hindrance.<\/p>\n

Maun Sadhana can also be done with the help of VK. Read more about Maun Sadhana, how to use VK for Maun Sadhana and some beautiful experiences by VK users in this link<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Now come to the point again. When you have come to receive, you never go unquenched. Planned and called for Maun Saadhna<\/strong>\u00a0venturing \u201cthe Mukti Chakra<\/em><\/strong>\u201d the gathering was presided by our Sharat Sir with the opening note explaining Meditation and myths about it. In the league of the same, he asked the gathering to explain \u201cWhat is Karma?\u201d replied by many as – the actions that we do is known as our karma, Sir explained that Karma is initially the action of the Senses \u2013 our Indriyas where oneself generates his Basic Karma. <\/span>The achievements and <\/span>mis-achievements of one\u2019s life actually vested <\/span>in this thought process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Replying to a quarry regarding Saatvik Bhojan, wherein the question was that \u201csome scriptures <\/span>forbid intake of non-vegetarian food. How far this has an impact on our lives\u201d, he explained, since the beginning, none of the scripture is actually advised and written by God himself. All writings, scriptures, <\/span>Puranas,\u00a0and epics are man-made and written by us to achieve the Godhead and thus the scriptures are the thoughts of a learned person. Every person has his own likes and dislikes, way of living, and habits. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not denying the wisdom and the stream of thought, and purely following a basic logic, the dos, and don\u2019ts prescribed by scripture, is <\/span>instinctive – the thought of its writer. We can also establish that the writer might have been living in a tropical region where there had been fields and farming. The Judgement was wise from this point of view. Residing in a tropical area, the best food for a human liver is Vegetarian. But had the same learned Mahatma had been living in a place near the sea <\/span><\/p>\n

We can also establish that the writer might have been living in a tropical region where there had been fields and farming. The Judgement was wise from this point of view. Residing in a tropical area, the best food for a human liver is Vegetarian. But had the same learned Mahatma had been living in a place near the sea <\/span>(where <\/span>seafood was prevalent) probably he would have permitted for the same. Therefore, we should not get into confusion about what food leads us to God. <\/span>It is only a pure <\/span>soul who gets to the Almighty. <\/span><\/p>\n

Sharat Sir<\/span> told that according to the prophecy of Dr. J.C. Bose \u2013 the world-famous scientist of Botany, plants cannot move and speak, they have the same sensation as human or animals. Looking through a <\/span>Kirlian Camera, one can easily observe that the reactions of plants, on being cut or de-rooted <\/span>are the same as those of an animal or human. Moreover, if only a Vegetarian could have attained\u00a0\u00a0Salvation, then no Muslim or Christian would have deserved to obtain it. But that is not the case\u2026 Is it??<\/span><\/p>\n

He also spoke about religion and its basis, informing as to how religion came into being. He told that Religion, as such, was aimed to set up some rules and regulations, which should be adhered to for leading a peaceful life, and elevating one\u2019s physical, spiritual, and social values. He envisaged that Religion never intended to bind forcefully. But in due course of time, we had made it so rigid and binding that the word Fanatism came into being. If God is to be seen then one has to meet himself first. This is called \u201cAtma-Saakshaatkara\u201d. Closing all the other windows of the body and the mind, when one concentrates, he meets himself (the <\/span><\/p>\n

If God is to be seen then one has to meet himself first. This is called \u201cAtma-Saakshaatkara\u201d. Closing all the other windows of the body and the mind, when one concentrates, he meets himself (the <\/span>Atma or the Soul) and through his Atma, he meets the \u201c<\/span>Paramatma\u201d and how nicely quoted by Sharat Sir when he said\u00a0\u201cMain aapko Dharma nahi padhana chahta\u2026 balki aapka Aadhyatma barhana chahta hoon\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0ie I do not want to teach you Religion\u2026<\/span>instead, I want to elevate your Spiritualism because eventually, every religion tries to put you on the path of Spiritualism\u2026.so why not go directly towards the Light.<\/span><\/p>\n

It was time for meditation and thus Sharat <\/span>Sir asked everyone to be ready for the Maun Saadhna. After a 7 minutes warm-up, when we were about to go in for a deep meditation towards Mukti Chakra, came the twister comment which changed the stream of the meeting as I felt.\u00a0\u00a0One of the <\/span>member-submitted<\/span>\u00a0that since he has surrendered himself to the lotus feet of his master and his master presides in his whole body, he won\u2019t let any other Energy to enter <\/span>into his body. It will not be improbable if I say that the rest of the lecture by Sharat Sir if archived, would be enough to write a bestseller in Spiritualism. The comment was <\/span><\/p>\n

The comment was <\/span>from a devoted follower, and the emotion was truthful, but <\/span>still, there was a misconception that required to be cleared and this transformed the Maun Saadhna into Gyan <\/strong><\/span>Saadhna<\/strong> on Sunday. Sharat Sir went on to explain the prophecy of \u2018Niraakaara<\/strong><\/em>\u2019 wherein, after completing the material duties of the body, one surrenders the shapes (<\/span>aakaar) of thyself and merges to the <\/span>omnipresence (Niraakaara). He explained that as a <\/span>merger of Water into Water is Water and nothing else, a <\/span>merger of Energy into an Ocean of Energy will result <\/span>in Energy that cannot be differentiated and categorized. Therefore, whatever is been supplied to us is Energy which when mingles with another Energy which might be within a body is again Energy. <\/span><\/p>\n

It cannot be named This Energy and That Energy. Sharat Sir also taught a very informative lesson to us <\/span>Saying: \u201cJust keep on reading and learning the way to a destination for ages, will not make us reach there. To reach our destination we, practically have to walk to the place. Likewise, just reading spiritualism and learning it by heart shall not get us to the level of Spiritualism; we have to work practically to attain that situation. We should never think that we cannot be the Param-<\/span>Atma. By continuous upliftment of our Spiritualism, each of us can attain that Elite position and merge into the Purest Energy \u2013 the Paramatma.\u00a0\u00a0JAI HO.<\/span><\/p>\n
