Why should you go for enlightenment? Should you even go for enlightenment? Enlightenment is only the first step in our evolution.

In February 2005, I took initiation into Level-1 of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga and in April 2005, into Level-2. In Level-2, we were given a list of names of siddhas (meaning, “perfected beings”) and deities—all are infinite intelligences—and we were told the qualities of each intelligence.

I just received a surprise pingback from Akemi Gaines’ blog Gratitude Magic from the article, What India May Have for the Law of Attraction.

In that article, she discusses two of my articles, Self-Mastery and Enlightenment Demystified and Ways to Attract Abundance and Whatever You Want into Your Life, in some detail. I am very grateful to her for her discussion of my articles on her blog. I would like to reciprocate that link love here. While discussing my article, she asks the following question: […]

This is another installment of articles written in the series Creation and Manifestation. In this article, I discuss what helps you to make your wishes and dreams come alive. You may be wondering why I am advocating manifestation of desires, as opposed to dropping all of them on your way to enlightenment which is the traditional view.

For now, trust me that it is better to manifest your desires and experience the results to bring wisdom into your life to create an Expanded Sense of Self (ESS), than trying to drop them which may cause more inner conflict.

My article, Self-Mastery and Enlightenment Demystified appeared in Meditation, Yoga & Spiritual Growth Carnival- Edition #11 hosted by Anmol Mehta. He praises this article as,

The flagship article for Desika Nadadur’s Self-Mastery Blog. Once in a while there comes an article which can change your view of Reality and elevate your consciousness to a new […]

Have you ever wondered about all that mystery surrounding the words enlightenment and self-mastery? Wonder no more. Every spiritual practice, either implicitly or explicitly, follows a model of creation. This article discusses an alternative model and demystifies what Self-Mastery and Enlightenment are based on this model. It also reconciles this model with the existing models based on Chakras and Kundalini. […]

In yOga (see sanskrit transliteration scheme), prANAyAma (control of life-force through breath) is an important and ancient conglomeration of techniques to promote physical, mental and spiritual well-being, and enlightenment. In a previous article in this series, I have discussed a 3-part deep abdominal breathing technique.

In this article, I will discuss ujjAyI prANAyAma or Victorious Breathing […]

In this article, I will discuss a powerful deep breathing technique that is very healing by itself. This can be used whenever you feel stressed, or just […]

In this article, I will share my experiences of light and bliss. Below I quote verbatim, my experience as I extracted from my journal, save for some editorial spelling and grammar corrections. These experiences gave me a glimpse into my true expansive self. Mind you that these experiences (including the previously discussed experience “Is This […]

I will share here what I consider to be my first (clear) indication of Kundalini Experience. Though I may have had indirect indications like astral travel (which I will sharer later), I think this was the first clear indication. Below I quote verbatim, my experience as I extracted from my journal, save for some […]
