THE PATH OF THE MASTERS The Science of Surat Shabd Yoga SANTON KI SHIKSHA A comprehensive statement of the Teachings of the Great Masters or Spiritual Luminaries of the East. Also an outline of their scientific system of exercises by means of which they attain the highest degree of spiritual development. Yoga of the Audible Life Stream By JULIAN JOHNSON, M.A., B.D., M.D. RADHA SOAMI SATSANG BEAS after living almost seven years with one of the Greatest of the Masters RADHA SOAMI SATSANG BEAS (PUNJAB) INDIA THE AUTHOR A typical Kentuckyan, a distinguished artist, a devout theologian, an ardent flier, an outstanding surgeon and above all a keen seeker after truth, Dr. Julian Johnson, sacrificing his all at a time when he was at the height of his worldly fame, came to answer the call of the East for the second time. The first time was when he voyaged to India to preach the true gospel of Lord Jesus Christ in his inimitable way. He came to enlighten her but eventually had to receive enlighten- ment from her. Caesar came, saw and conquered; the author came, saw and was conquered. It was a day of destiny for him when he came the second time. He was picked up, as it were, from a remote corner and guided to the feet of the Master. Once there, he never left. He assiduously carried out the spiritual discipline taught by one of the greatest living Masters and was soon rewarded. He had the vision of the Reality beyond all forms and ceremonies. He learnt of the ancient wisdom which all messengers of God come to teach. He unmistakably discerned the same essence of spirituality under- lying all world religions. In an otherwise divided and strife-torn world he clearly perceived complete unity and utter calm at the base. Thus convinced, he acclaimed to the world that 'the Path of the Masters' is not a theory. It is not a system of beliefs or dogmas. It is not even a religion, although it embraces all the value of religion. It is an actual way, a genuine road to be traveled, involving of course a certain preparation and training as one goes along. The path is really "el Camino Real" or the Kings Highway. It belongs to the royal Masters and it leads the traveler from earth upwards through kingdom after kingdom, from country to country, one more splendid than the other, in an advancing series until the upper terminus lands the traveler at the feet of the supreme Lord of all regions.

It has been reprinted several times as well as translated into a number of languages. Many a communication comes in every year from almost every part of the world—even the remotest of corners— where a seeker has happened to get access to the book and has ultimately found himself at the Feet of the Master. The book has some way or somehow met a peculiar want of an individual, the material thirst of his mind and the deep longing of his soul. One feels as if a spiritual legacy reposed therein is making the rounds and fulfilling itself in many ways.

    SACH KHAND THE JOURNAL OF RADHASOAMI STUDIES | Issue Four | MSAC Philosophy Group | Mt. San Antonio College | Walnut, California 91789 | USA | The Genealogical Connection: Kirpal Singh & Paul Twitchell That religions often evolve out of other past religions is a well-known phenomenon: witness Christianity's emergence from Judaism. What is not so well known, however, is how certain religions try to genealogically dissociate themselves from their historical roots. Eckankar is a classic case in point. Founded in 1965 by Paul Twitchell, one-time disciple of Swami Premananda, Kirpal Singh, and L. Ron Hubbard, Eckankar owes much of its theology to Radhasoami. Indeed, as Lane, Melton, and others have pointed out, most of Paul Twitchell's writings are derived from two Radhasoami publications, With a Great Master in India and The Path of the Masters (both authored by Julian P. Johnson in the 1930s). Certainly, it is not surprising that religious doctrines can at times appear to be similar, but what is surprising is when a religion which has borrowed much of its history, doctrine, and terminology from another tries to consciously deny its putative association. The story of Paul Twitchell's association with Kirpal Singh, and, in turn, the influence of Radhasoami on Eckankar, is well documented. In 1955 Paul Twitchell received initiation from Kirpal Singh in Washington, D.C. Twitchell, who, according to his first wife Camille Ballowe Taylor, was a "seeker of religion," met Kirpal Singh after a five year stay at Swami Premananda's Church of Absolute Monism. Twitchell kept up a ten year correspondence with Kirpal Singh in India, addressing his numerous letters to his guru as "My Dear Master," and so on.

    Blessings Om Sadgurave Namah! Meditation on Bindu & Nada occupies the highest pedestal in Santmat, for this meditation is the only means to scale the dizziest of heights that a spiritual seeker can ever aspire for. Several editions of my book “Bindu Nada Dhyan” have been published. Some Satsang lovers translated and got the book published in Bengali also. Very recently it has also been translated into Marathi language. Now Prof. Pravesh Kumar Singh has translated it into English.

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

    the message of the Masters In praise of Hazur The Resplendent Sun, the prototype of heaven’s holy Light, has risen as Master Sawan, Whoever is struck by His radiant beauty goes mad and remains intoxicated Majnu-like. Everyone talks of Him, all speak of His glory— the world itself resounds with His praises. Immeasurable is the magnetic field of His love, which is at once peerless and ineffable. What a heart-ravishing beauty has blazed my heart with scintillating rays from His eyes ! Let His image be enshrined in the temple of my heart, I wish I may meditate on Him day and night. Let the memory of His moon-like face ever haunt my imagination. He who seeks after Truth— must bask in the loving sunshine of Master Sawan. He is humility personified, sweet of tongue, and there is none like Him in this wide world. I have neither seen nor heard of another like Him— Oh! His very name is dear unto me!

INDIA AND JAPAN Edited and Arranged by ETHLYN T. CLOUGH Published by the BAY VIEW READING CLUB CENTRAL OFFICE, BOSTON BOULEVARD DETROIT. MICH. 1910 Copyrighted 1910 BV JOHN M. HALL MAR 1 1955 PREFACE WHILE China, Japan, and India are occupying more of the attention of the world than any other of the Asiatic countries, a study of that vast continent would be incomplete without some knowledge of those borderlands we have come to designate as the Near East. Besides, this knowledge is necessary to those who desire to keep abreast of the forward march of the nations. It is no longer sufficient that we become acquainted with Our Own Country and its advancement, for uni- versal brotherhood is making its demands upon us, and America is playing no small part in the modernization of the East. The old familiar cry that has rung down the centuries, Come over into Macedonia and help us, is wafted across the seas to-day. It behooves every Christian nation to foster and aid this universal desire for the "federation of the world." Once the patriotic ideal was all-sufficient ; now the farther we remove ourselves from the ideal of patriotism to merge our- selves into that higher ideal of universal peace and freedom, the better it will be for us as individuals, the better will it be for us as a nation.

    Trabajar Con Chakras.Pdf

    Trabajar con Chakras ¿Qué es un Chakra? "Chakra es una palabra sánscrita que significa rueda o vórtice, y se refiere a cada uno de los siete centros de energía principales de las cuales nuestra conciencia, nuestro sistema energético, se compone. Estos chakras, o centros de energía, funcionan como bombas o válvulas, que regulan el flujo de energía a través de nuestro sistema de energía mediante la rotación del flujo de energía en una dirección de las agujas del reloj. El funcionamiento de los chakras refleja las decisiones que tomemos con respecto a cómo elegimos responder a las condiciones de nuestra vida. Abrimos y cerramos estas válvulas cuando decidimos qué pensar y qué sentir, y cómo elegimos para percibir y experimentar el mundo que nos rodea. Los chakras no son físicas, por la opinión. Son aspectos de nuestra conciencia de manera similar como nuestras auras son aspectos de nuestra conciencia. Los chakras son más densos que las auras, debido a la cantidad de energía que fluye a través de ellos, pero no es tan densa como el cuerpo físico. Chakras interactúan con el cuerpo físico a través de dos vehículos grandes, el sistema endocrino y el sistema nervioso. Cada uno de los siete chakras está asociado con una de las siete glándulas endocrinas, y también con un grupo de nervios llamado plexo. Por lo tanto, cada chakra se asocia con determinadas partes del cuerpo y en particular las funciones dentro del cuerpo controlada por el plexo o la glándula endocrina a la que está asociado. Todos tus sentidos, todas tus percepciones, todos tus posibles estados de conciencia, todo es posible para que usted pueda experimentar, puede dividirse en siete categorías.

    The Five Dacoits The Five Perversions of Mind From The Path of the Masters by Julian Johnson Sant Kirpal Singh Ji, Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji, and others We are constantly beset by five foes - passion, anger, greed, worldly attachments, and vanity. All these must be mastered, brought under control. You can never do that entirely until you have the aid of the Guru and are in harmonic relations with the Sound Current. But you can begin now, and every effort will be a step on the way. (Baba Sawan Singh, Spiritual Gems, 339) Swami Ji has said that we should not hesitate to go all out to still the mind. We do not fully grasp that the mind takes everyone to his doom. It is like a thousand-faced snake, which is constantly with each being; it has a thousand different ways of destroying the person. The rich with riches, the poor with poverty, the orator with his fine speeches – it takes the weakness in each and plays upon it to destroy him.
