#3 Mahavira and the Left Side

[Sophia Joseph]

March 28, 1991 (Perth, Australia)
Mahavira Puja

Today we are going to celebrate the birthday of Mahavira.

Mahavira is the incarnation of Bhairanath or you can call him as Saint Michael. Now, these two saints, as you know, one as the Gabriel, Hanumana, and another is Saint Michael. One is placed on the Pingala Nadi and another one, Saint Michael, on the Ida Nadi.

So Mahavira had to go through lots of search. Of course, he really was an angel, but came as human being and he had to find out the thing of the left side and how the left side acts. It's a very complicated thing, left side. It's much more complicated than right side. On the left side we have also seven nadis and these seven nadis are placed one after another. They're described in books and given different names to them. Now these seven nadis that are on the left side, as you know, they cater to our past. See, for example, every moment becomes a past. Every present becomes a past. When we have past of this lifetime and also we have past of our previous lives, then all the past is built-in within us since our creation. So all these psychosomatic diseases, as you know, are only triggered by the entities that appear from the left side. For a person - supposing he's suffering, say, from liver trouble and suddenly he's attacked from the left side, specially Mooladhara, very left side. Left Nabhi, because Mooladhara is the only one that is connected with the left side, Ida Nadi... and the right side, Pingala Nadi, is connected to Swadhisthan.

See, the problems of Mooladhara are really beyond the reach of human beings. And when it is attacked, any one of these chakras on the left hand side, then psychosomatic diseases occur into human beings. As I told you many times, now this is a center, this is another center, left and right. They're on top of each other. You're using the right side too much - goes up to a point and suddenly something happens and the left triggers.

So all diseases, say even diabetes, is due to the psychosomatic diseases. A person who's very hard working, thinks too much, very right-sided, suddenly something happens - maybe also he might inherit, like diabetes, because of the past and it triggers and you'll get this psychosomatic problem. Now this psychosomatic problem is only cured if you know what's the problem of the left side.

So Mahavira went quite deep onto the left side. Why it's so much difficult on the left side is because when you start moving on the left side, the movement becomes linear, of course, but it moves downward, while the movement on the right side moves is upward. So the movement goes down like that and then it coils up, forms coils. And you go on moving with it, so you become lost in the coils. But the other one moves upward and the coils are not so many and, because it is upward, it's easy to get out of.

So those people who go to the left by any chance, by thinking too much about their past, crying about themselves and always complaining are more difficult than the people on the right side. But the right side people are troublesome to others, while the left side people are troublesome to themselves.

That's how this left side was to be found out properly, was done by Mahavira. Of course, he knew also, I think, all about it. So he had mentioned, practically in details, lots of things that can happen to a person who goes to the left side. He gave the idea of hell. He also described seven types of hell of which are so horrible that I don't want to tell you what is hell is. Horrifyingly cruel, horrifyingly joyless and horrifyingly so repulsive that you hate yourself when you understand you have committed this mistake, you have committed this sin. And then what is the result? What you get, punishment part. Mahavira worked it, everything. He has given in all details what sort of punishment is due to a human being who tries to be left-sided. Also he has given about the person who is right-sided, but not to that extent because he had to deal with the combination, but mostly with the left side.

As I've told many people before and here also perhaps maybe, that there is a soul that is made out of the causal bodies of all the five elements. The causal, say, for example, of the Earth is fragrance. So this soul, which is made of the five causal bodies and your centers, plus, you can say, also it has got a control over the parasympathetic. It sits on the spinal cord from outside and activates the parasympathetic nervous system. So it has a connection with every center.

Now, this is the soul when we die, with the kundalini and our spirit, goes into the sky and it is the soul that guides now the movement of our being, whatever is left now, into a new being and that's how it works out.

So everything that we have done so far is recorded in that soul. When you are asking Me, "Mother, this is some sort of round, round thing, you see, laying together, what is that?" I told you this is our - this is a dead soul. And now they have found out what I have told them because, see, when a person dies, his soul shows you - like, even now, you can see round, round things. There could be many, there could be one, a string. And they saw it under microscope when I told them, that the soul within us is reflected on the cell which is the reflector of every cell. So the part of the cell which is the reflector, which is placed on one side of the cell also has this soul reflected and the main soul, which is on the back, controls that reflected soul which looks after every cell. Now they have found out that there is in that reflector this kind of seven loops, seven loops because it sits on the eight; seven chakras and the Mooladhara.

Now what He found out, that when people die, then some of the souls are born again just after few days. And these people are just very ordinary kinds of people. That's how he brought in a kind of category. So they are - the people who are dying - they are of a category, one category where they exist for a very short time in the collective subconscious and then they take their rebirth. They're very ordinary people, aimless, useless people. But there are some souls, when they die, they just hang in the air and they're just waiting to find out somebody who will fulfill their desires which are not yet fulfilled. Like there's a drunkard and a drunkard can join another human being who's living who would like to drink. So once he starts getting this - once it starts getting into the habit of drinking, some of these souls can just jump on that person and when they jump on that person they can make him a real drunkard.

I remember of a lady who was a very short, petite person, came from Cuba, in America when I went first. And she told Me that she's very sick of herself. Her husband told Me that she can take one whiskey bottle whole, neat sometimes. Looked at her, such a little thing. I said, "How can she do it?" So I put a bandhan on her and I saw a huge, big Negro standing behind her. So I said, "Do you know some Negro?" Immediately she jumped on Me. She said, "Mother, you see that one? You see that one? That's the one that drinks, not me." Of course, I cured her and after that she gave up drinking completely.

So whenever you start getting into a habit in a bad way, you lose complete control of yourself and a spirit sits on you and it controls you and then it controls you, you do not know how to get rid of any habit. That's always difficult, to get rid of habits.

Now, in Sahaja Yoga, when the Kundalini rises what happens that these spirits, these dead spirits, leave you and you become all right and you give up. That's how it works. I would say that all this Mahavira did not tell, nor did he find out all these things because he was not a scientist, I think, or I don't know why. But what he has talked about is the hell and he has said that if you do this kind of work, thing in your lifetime, then what kind of a hell you'll get? And he has described the hell in a very, I should call, openly and in a very detailed manner. And it's really horrible to know that a human being who thinks well of himself, ultimately will get to that kind of a hell and some are permanently doomed to be there.

But, as incarnations take birth, also these devils, some of them who are completely doomed to live in hell, must take their birth and when they take their birth, they try to trouble us and they can take their birth, as you know, as our gurus and things and everything is happening now. We find it how these people are taking their birth and how they're misleading us, how they're using the left Swadisthana, or you can call it the left side, just to immobilize us completely.

So when a person is possessed, as you must have seen, a person gets possessed, he cannot feel vibrations, then all kinds of symptoms about such a person. But in Sahaja Yoga, what do we do is to take the name of Mahavira because Mahavira runs all the way, all the way on the Ida Nadi and comes and stays here onto the, we can say, the point which is called our superego. And it changes, controls, works out, cleanses and does all that is required to put a person right after Sahaja Yoga.

So we have to be really very thankful to him for doing this kind of work, which is very filthy and dirty because these people don't mind even sitting in the bathroom, or that you can say, or sitting with everything and meditating. They can do anything. They're very dirty people, absolutely dirty and they become tantricas. They try all kinds of dirty things and, with that, they actually create a problem between themselves and the God. So they'll go to a temple of a goddess and start misbehaving with a woman there, so the goddess will disappear and, once the goddess disappears in that area, they call all these bhoots from the left side.

So now we have all these souls which are lying, hanging in the air trying to come back to a conscious thing and to possess someone. Plus we have these masters of the left side, who know how to catch hold of these people and put them on somebody or to remove from them someone and to put somebody else. So it's a continuous process and this makes a person absolutely mad and good for nothing.

Now when we know all this, still we get caught up on the left side. Sahaja Yogis do get caught up. That's why, I think, this Mahavira Jayanti is a very very great thing for us to observe.

Now, why was he called Mahavira? Because only a person like him really is a person who is brave, who is chivalrous because only he could do this, so only he could enter into the being fully and would put - kill or, you can say, destroy those horrible rakshasas, devils, all these negative things that come to us.

Now, as you know, we use left side very much for so many negativities that is torturing us, but if there is no help, say, from Mahavira, we cannot do it. You call the name of Mahavira - you could call him Saint Michael, you can call him Bhairavi, but Mahavira because he was a human being. All this works out because of him and he's such a great identity. He himself took a birth as a human being for saints to take birth as human being. Or, you see, the whole concept of hell and all that is described in any scripture is a fact, it exists and, if you try to go in there - you see, when I try to go there and to find out, I just go off to sleep, something. In my sleep I find out all the things that are happening about person, how much he's caught up, what he's done. It's not an easy thing to do with the conscious mind. You have to take to the subconscious and you have to go into Sushukti in a deeper sleep to see what's happening in the left side. It's a very funny situation I think and for Sahaja Yogis also to enter in it I would not advise. But one should get rid of the problems of the left side with the help of Mahavira.

When this chakra is caught up, what you find is a big lump of bhoot coming out of the right side, so you have take the name of Mahavira just to remove that pressure from the left side. Now many people do not even know why they suffer. Why should they suffer, when they have done nothing wrong? Because they are possessed. Now even the viruses and all these things like psychosomatic troubles like cancer, all, I would say, the incurable diseases are there because we are triggered into the left side. That's why we are suffering from these diseases which are not curable.

So we have to thank really very much Mahavira, who has given us this power to remove our left-sided problems, who has given us this light in our hand, which he himself vibrates and he himself tries to throw some light on the obscure things about Me also. Because of him only, we can get cured of so many physical and mental troubles.

You know that the left side can be easily cured if you use three candle treatment. That shows Mahavira is only fond of light. He doesn't like darkness and his idea is, I think that way, is to now fully go all the way to clear the left side as far as possible, to help Sahaja Yoga to establish in countries where I find still lot of this negativity is there - a lot of it. So he's working it out everywhere and the psychosomatic diseases and all these diseases also, we can work it out with candlelight and all that. He can do this, too.

So you have to be very thankful to him that he has achieved this kind of entry into the left side and has found out for us what sort of problems exist on left side. It's such a nice thing that we have got today, the chance to celebrate his birthday here in a place which is really very much loved by him.

Now, you may say that Mahavira is sometimes seen as a person who's naked. So it happened that he had gone in a jungle to meditate and to find out about the left side and, when he got up, you see, he got caught up in one of the bushes and he had to - torn off half part of that. When that half part was torn off, then, as he came out of those bushes and he was all right, but, at the same time, Shri Krishna appeared there on the scene as a little boy from a village and he said that "I'm a poor man." This little boy said, "I'm a poor person. I've nothing with me. You're a king. You can always get your clothes. Why don't you give me your - this half cloth that you have?" And they say so that it was given to this boy and he ran away. He was nobody else, but Shri Vishnu. And this, you see, Vishnu took away that cloth and he hardly for about two seconds or three seconds because he was a king, you see, and he hid himself with leaves and went to his palace and got dressed. But today from the people, how negative they are. They just walk without clothes, Jainis. They have, you see, all kinds of taboos against all the worms, everything, except these people have started that, if you do not respect these little, little animals, like, you can say, even serpent or any animal which is troublesome and mad, but is a living thing, seems to be this, for these Jains are mad. I have told you they have gone to such a limit of vegetarianism that they try to save even the bugs, put the bugs in a hut and the hut has got a Brahmin there. Now these bugs suck the blood of this Brahmin and once the Brahmin is completely, I mean I should say, sucked in by these bugs, they fall on the ground. Then they allow the Brahmin to come out and they give him a lot of dakshinat - means they given him money as a reward for helping the bugs to suck his blood. This kind of vegetarianism is there.

Beware of vegetarians. You see, even Hitler was a vegetarian, so you can imagine what sort of a vegetarianism it is. All these fads of vegetarianism and all that are not at all required and that's what Mahavira showed in his life, that it is not at all important to bother about food or what . See, the whole theory of this vegetarianism has gone to such a nonsensical limits that I have told people that you should give up vegetarianism completely. Now, also see the juxtaposition of what he wanted. If you do not eat proteins, you cannot fight bhoots. A person who has bhoots in them, must eat a lot of proteins, not carbohydrates, but proteins so that it can fight those left-sided enemies, but here it is, they have to be vegetarians. Now imagine then left-sided enemies within them and they want to be vegetarians. Finished. How will they fight?

So all this is all, you should say, is preplanned by the person who tries to sort of - you see, is - you can say like this, that, you see, a person, who tries to remove the - now, we can say that the person who tries to make these lower animals live, rather than human beings. You see, they're upper sense is this is the stupid thing they do. Must know that I cannot give Realization to these worms and to these fishes or even to chickens. We must have human beings.

So all this has happened because of human beings going in juxtaposition of whatever is sane. Like Christ has said, "Thou shalt not have adulterous eyes" and I'm yet to come across a Christian, who is not a Sahaja Yogi, without adulterous eyes, whether it's a woman or a man.

So we get just the opposite of what we have been taught. In the case of same thing happened, that Mahavira, what he tried to do was absolutely killed by these people who are trying to make this vegetarianism as a big religion. Also another thing was that this vegetarianism came into Jainism through one fellow called Naminath, who was a Putangah at the time of Shri Krishna. He was to be married. In those days they were married, not only but they were they eating all kinds of meats and so many lambs and goats came for the wedding of this man. So he felt that - uparadi we call it, this - he didn't like. He was disgusted. He was frustrated with that. In that frustration, what did he do? He said, "I will not eat meat." And that's how vegetarianism started among Jains and that's how it's still going on. And these Jainis are, I find, are the joyless people, absolutely joyless. They are so much fond of money. They run after the money and they go on behaving in such a peculiar way that you can't understand and they're human beings but they, the way they behave, you cannot understand them.

So we realize that despite all that Mahavira worked out, still the people are supposed to be his disciples, the Jains, and they're like this. So what we have to do now is to understand that in Sahaja Yoga we better not do something of that. Whatever you are told, you have to understand why it is so. You know the modus operandi. You know each and everything about Sahaja Yoga. You know the whole subject, so it's not proper for you to, in any way, to succumb to any such arguments or any such big big talks or big big advertisement and take to something that is wrong. It's very important.

We are Sahaja Yogis and we understand the balance. Of course, I always say that Westerners, for example, maybe Australians also, should take more to carbohydrates because they eat lot of meat, so they can take to carbohydrates, but that doesn't mean vegetarianism by any chance. I mean, to compensate. And in India, I always say, they must take to more meats. It's good for them. But it is, by no means, I say that you just eat meat and nothing else, but a balance has to be found out and once you strike it, then you'll be surprised that you feel so relaxed, so much better, so much enlightened and the vibrations will flow much better than normal.

So for food, you have to be careful. Same about with clothes. You shouldn't go mad after a suit all the time, whether it's hot or cold or indifferent. What you have to do is to wear something that will suit you. Now, for example, in a climate like this, you may require a suit or something to cover yourself, but supposing you are in Ganapatipule or someplace like that where it's not so cold or so hot, maybe it's dry, so what sort of dress you should wear which is comfortable, that should be found out and whatever you find out, like this is such a comfortable dress for us, you better do it. Because what else is there?. Meaning, you see, say, thing that whenever I tell you something, don't take it to the extremes and don't take a little bit of it. But when I tell you this thing, you must understand that whatever is good for you, whatever is your temperament, whatever is aptitude, you have to take something that will nourish that will improve you and give you a balance.

So, to balance yourself, if you think of Mahavira, you must think also of Shri Hanuman. Both these things are important.

It's not easy to tell all about Mahavira in this short lecture, but I think I have quite connected him now with Sahaj and you must have seen to it that how important he is and what is important role he plays.
   
So may God bless you.
   
This thinking about Mahavira, I just - it's impossible to keep into the conscious mind, just went into the left all the time because I just in the car thought that I better tell them about Mahavira and since then it's all going towards the left. It's so difficult, but it will work out.

May God bless you....

I think if you have any problems, you must ask me also because this is the only time when we can talk about things. If you have any problems, you can ask Me about left side - how to correct it, how to work it out, anything. Please ask Me because you always get this problem....

Now, heart, as I told you, is the reflection of God Almighty, which is the Spirit. So we have two types of heart troubles, as I told you before also. One is when you have an over-active life, right-sided, and the left-sided is the lethargic heart, where you get angina and all that. Now, in your case, your case where you feel there's something pricking you, that means it's a possession. If the hands are sort of pins and needles, then it's kind of possession. But it can be cleared out.

Any other question?


That's a different area though. Left Nabhi comes from the relationship between a wife and a husband mostly. But a wife is a complaining type, is a very sort of a all the time grudging, even nervous bothers the husband, frightened and all sorts of things that we do. You see, just sometimes they do it just to trouble the husband, but sometimes basically they are very left-sided, possessed women and these possessed women give you this left Nabhi. Any woman who feels the left Nabhi, she must immediately understand that there's some sort of a horrible thing in her being which has to go out. So, for left Nabhi, you must take the three candle treatment and try to respect your husband, try to be kind to him because these spirits can also dominate. You know, not that they can make you very sly, they can also dominate. They have a way of dominating. So, in any case, it looks like you might look to be right-sided, but actually she's suffering from left Nabhi and she's extremely dominating. In the same way, if the husband is not a good man and he tortures the wife and she feels unhappy about it and she's sorry about it, then also she catches the left Nabhi.

So in both cases one has to understand that you get your joy - the source of joy is your self, your own spirit. It doesn't depend on your husband or anyone. You are single that way.

So you shouldn't worry about your husband. You shouldn't think how he treats you. You shouldn't bother at all about him. But what you have to think is that "After all, I'm his wife. I should support him. I should help him. Whatever way he is, let it be as he is because he won't get corrected if enough I tell him. The best thing is I better not tell him anything. Let him do whatever he likes." And you clear out your left Nabhi with candle. That's the way....

Because Ganesha is the one, you see, who's sitting on Mooladhara and it is he who is the one who puts you onto the left side. He throws you all the time. It is Mahavira who tries to save you and to correct you. See there are two forces working....

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

 

Some of you recently emailed Mangala to ask about the payments of the weekly speeches. At least for the beginning of the project I will be in charge of managing the finances of the group. Here are short guidelines for the payments:

 

People living in the tri-state area:  

You can save up the moeny and donate them to me. I will keep the count of the speeches you received and the money you have donated. Preferably you can hand in the cash monthly so that it will be easier to update the records.

People leaving in the States, but out of the tri state area:

We often get to meet even if we are not in the same state. Yogis flight in and out New York all the time, likewise yogis from the NY collective move around. You can hold onto the money and give it to me, or any yuva from NY you meet at international pujas, national seminars or any major sahaj event. Of course, after donating the money you should send an email to me to reminding me to pick up the money. Here is a list of New York Boys + Mangala that can collect the money from you:

 

Fabrizo

Srikant

Anand

Goutham

Nikhil

+

Mangala

* Please note that the list might expand as the New York collective keeps expanding :)

 

If you do not know any of the above mentioned....you should be ashamed of yourself! Just kidding! I apologyze for the childish comments in the mail but I am trying to ease up the atmosphere, talking about money and donations is always a little boring. If you do not know any of the above mentioned you can send a check to me at:

 

Fabrizio Trezza

20W Palisade Ave, apt 3220,

Englewood, New Jersey,

07631, USA

 

People leaving outsides the United States:

It would be a little too complicated to collect money from peolpe outsied the United States. Currency, bank account, communication issues etc...We are sorry buddies, as for now it is not in our hands to help you channelling the contributions to sahaj funds. Please put aside at least 3$ for each speach and finally donate them to VND, your local/national collective, your yuva account (if there is any where you live) etc....

 

Whatever you do please just remind yuorself that it is Divine Kowledge that you are receving. It is our privilege and duty to make a symbolic offer to our Holy Guru. I say symbolic because if we were to give a price to this knowledge, none of us could afford it, not even if we put together all the resources we have. The 3$ are a small, but dignified offer that we make to the Lotus Feet of our Mother To show Her gratitude and love, to show Her that we are here to grow stronger through Her knowledge.

 

If you have any sporadic antani please contact our brother John Michael at anand...@hotmail.com

 

With Love

Fabrizio
