4. FOREWORD I am extremely happy to have been given the honour
of writing a Foreword for Sri Yogi Srijis book titled Wisdom Light,
a very apt title. A book is not worth the paper it is printed upon
unless it sheds some light on a given subject. If a book does shed
such light and the subject is also concerned with the upliftment of
the society, then it deserves to be commended and read widely. I
understand Sri Yogi Sriji is a Guru for a number of persons in the
field of yoga. The word Guru means one who sheds divine light and
dispels darkness. An ordinary guru waits for his disciples to come
to him and obtain wisdom whereas, the elders say, a Sathguru is one
who is so full of love and compassion for his disciples A.K.

5. The Part - I of the Introduction seeks to tell the reader
why men fail and what kind of questions (like who am I...) should
bother mankind. There is none on this earth who wants to fail and
hence everyone wants to know how to succeed. The failures Sri Yogi
Sriji refers to are not the ones at the mundane level but on the
higher level, the spiritual level, where kings and emperors
miserably fail but beggers and fakirs succeed, with ease and grace.
In these days, there is no dearth of literature on the spiritual
sciences and the organized institutions in this filed talk about
thousands of crores of rupees in donations, contributions and
sales. An ordinary man either blindly follows one of these systems
or stung by their commercialization, stays away from all such
institutions, thereby losing the real benefit of these sciences
which our ancestors left for us. It is like throwing the cup away
because you have something against the cup, whereas the content is
pure nectar. that He seeks them on his own and leads them in the
right path. I wish to see Sri Yogi Sriji as a Sathguru in this part
of the world. The book lucidly explains the complete threefold
dimensions of yoga. There is a wrong nation that yoga is just an
art of twisting the body into various intricate shapes and adopt
certain unnatural postures like standing on ones head. This book
explains beautifully that postures (Asanas) are nothing but
physical exercises and it is the combination of all the three parts
of Yoga, namely exercise, breathing techniques and meditation which
can yield the desired results. If asanas are difficult due to any
physical constraints, then even other exercises like walking,
jogging, cycling, swimming etc can be done. This is a pleasant
surprise for me who can now do my pranayamas without feeling guilty
that my body has become too rigid to do asanas. iv v
6. Sri Yogi Sriji is not in this for commerce. My interaction
with him say, Try it. If it works, keep it. If it does not, throw
it away. I have not seen any serious practitioner, throwing his
practices away like this. So, I request the reader to understand
that this book is a small key which can open great doors. As the
famous writer Thiru Balakumaran wrote in his foreword to the Tamil
and more elaborate version of this book ("hd xU mj). it is not
enough to just read. One should get trained by proper teachers. We
are lucky to have a living master in Sri Yogi Sriji. Our luck would
be fruitful only when we get initiated under masters like him and
do regular practices. I wish all the best for you in this path. vi

lotus palms of your beautiful hands was originally written by me in
Tamil with the title 'A wonder in science' and published by Dina
Publications, Coimbatore-641025, in the year 2010. Besides the
overwhelming response to that book in Tamil, the longing of many of
my beloved brothers and sisters to carry the universal message
contained in that book to the nook and corner of the world prompted
me to extract the essence from the Tamil book and present it in
English. The intention is to facilitate each and everyone residing
on all parts of the wonderful planet Earth to attain success
fulfilling all his dreams and desires, and enjoy the real life
gifted by the Almighty. It is my wish that you begin a new life
from today onwards. Many people have a false notion that the
philosophy of life and the associated theories are dry subjects
that are very difficult to understand and much more difficult to
follow. Nevertheless, I assure you all that you can easily
understand and immensely benefit from them provided you learn them

ARISE. OR EVER BE FALLEN You are wise enough to know that the words
above are not mine; I am quoting the above dynamic words of Swami
Vivekananda only to reach to your very soul and open your heart to
receive me in full with confidence and love. I had an inner
realization, which I have been cherishing for more than Twenty Nine
years with an intention to share it with you. Therefore, lend your
time, ears, mind to me leaving aside for a while your disbeliefs
and skepticism and be prepared to experience the inner revolution I
am passionately sharing with you; you may 1
13. There are so many people who had already written numerous
volumes and spoken elaborately and eloquently about the philosophy
of life and my endeavor is to simplify with the blessings from
Almighty what all they wrote and talked about and pass it on to you
in a pleasant and readily acceptable form. I have termed my inner
realization as 'TRIKARANA TRANSCENDENTAL MEDITATION' (TTM) and also
given it a popular title 'NIMMATHI UNKAIYIL' (epk;kjpcd;ifapy);
i.e. 'Peace in your hand'. Before venturing into the core topic of
our study, I would like to make you conversant with basic general
issues in brief. We are aware that in the universe, there are
millions and millions of stars and many sun families. We are also
aware that we are living in this earth, which is a part of the sun
family. The earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system
and the only planet that supports life. It later to come out with
your doubts and misgivings, which I shall be too happy to clarify.
You know today every human being is desperately searching for
'Nimmathi' (epk;kjp) i.e. 'Peace'; he thinks that he can get it
only by achieving all his dreams and satisfying all his desires.
However, success eludes him because he does not take the correct
way to reach the destination desired by him. I am sure that TTM
will give you the right route map that will guide you to reach the
stage in your life where you can taste total success and absolute
enjoyment of the real happiness in life. The way suggested is the
threefold unity of body, mind and soul (BMS). This unity is the
prime requirement and purpose of your whole life and all other
expectations and aspirations pale into insignificance in the
glorious light of this Holy Trinity. 2 3

great speed continuously without any break. We are standing,
walking, swimming, playing etc. on the earth as if it is static
without feeling its movements in the universal space. The moon,
which is a natural satellite to the earth, is revolving around the
earth once in 28 days. It weighs 735,000 million tones and its
circumference covers 10,919 km. It is located 4, 07,000 km away
from the earth. This sun family said to have 140 moons viz. Earth
has 01 moon, Mars 02 moons, Jupiter 63 moons, Saturn 34 moons,
Uranus 27 moons and Neptune 13 moons, but the Mercury and Venus
have no moons. Besides dwarf planets like Pluto and Eris, countless
comets, asteroids, and meteoroids are there. This information is
subject to change since to the vision of the scientists expands
everlastingly. We can talk endlessly about the things known about
the Sun family weighs roughly about 59,720,000 million tons and its
circumference covers 40,075 km. It is located 149,597,000 km away
from the sun. The earth rotates around its own axis at a speed of
1,670 km/hour and it takes 23 hours 56 minutes 04.09053 seconds for
the earth to complete one such full rotation. By the time it takes
one rotation along its axis travels which we call as a 'DAY' it
revolves around the sun at a speed of 1,07,870 km/hour and at this
speed it covers 25,41,450 km/day and completes one full revolution,
covering 940 million km, around the sun in 365.2564 days which we
term as a 'YEAR'. Besides, you would be astonished to know that in
the above process sun's peripheral atmosphere wind flows 400
km/second, that is 14,40,000 km/hour. The beauty is that not only
the earth but also the things that are lying on the earth - all
living creations including vegetation and animals and the human
beings, and 4 5
15. advice I give you is to keep faith in yourself instead of
going behind things that invariably bring misery and disaster. All
our blunders are self-made and they are only all our own creations.
Broadly speaking, we can identify four major reasons for the
frequent failures in human life. They are, - 1) Doing things
without self awareness 2) Doing things without any goal or aim 3)
Doing things without tolerance; and 4) Doing things without strong
willpower Strong willpower and conviction cannot come as such, and
to acquire it one has to train oneself, practice regularly to
balance his threefold unity of body, mind and soul (BMS) and to
ultimately understand the purpose of whole life. Life is, no doubt,
a mystery. It is not a simple mathematical puzzle with an easy and
the rest of the universe; however, we have to reconcile ourselves
to the fact that the wonders of the universe yet to be discovered
by us are far more enormous, magnificent and infinitely
incomparable to what little we have so far explored using our
limited human capabilities. I, therefore, feel that it is a wiser
option to leave it to your imagination, which is also as boundless
as the universe. We are blessed with our lives on earth and we have
every reason to be proud of this blessing. But, at the same time,
we should know that without understanding the purpose of our living
and ensuring our association with Almighty we are wasting our life
in pursuing the worldly pleasures, which in fact but bring in only
pain and stress with occasional glimpses of momentary
gratifications. We can see that the majority of people reach the
end of their lives without having lived them in health and
happiness. The most important 6 7
16. shy away from answering those questions with the result
that frustration and disappointment continue to haunt them
constantly. To understand life and to get enlightenment with
permanent peace and happiness, all you have to do is to break away
from all the boundaries that try to limit you and start practicing
TTM. Once you learn its methods and techniques and cultivate the
habit of practicing them daily, you will get the enlightenment and
enjoy the real pleasure in your life forever. Are you ready for it!
As a first step towards mastering TTM techniques, you have to
understand that synchronization of body, mind, and soul (BMS) alone
is the sole remedy to free one from the stresses and strains that
are confronting one today. The TTM is a simple scientific technique
of blending Trikarana i.e. the threefold unity of body, mind, and
soul (BMS) designed to solve the problems of humankind and to
perfect solution. For a few, life is comfortable; but for many
others it is miserable. Life is miserable for them not because that
they lack money and power but because they have disturbance in
their body, mind and soul (BMS). In this context many questions
remains unanswered forever. To quote some of them, - i) Who are
you? ii) Where did you come from? iii) Where do you go when you
leave this body? iv) What is the object of life? v) What is the
universal truth? vi) What is Heaven and what is hell? and vii) Who
is the best judge of the human behavior? We can raise many such
questions endlessly and everlastingly. The human mind limits its
boundaries with its own religious dogmas and frozen ideas and 8

the sixth sense; but the fact is that we too once lived like
animals without cloths and behaved exactly like them. Only on
gradually and as a process of evolution, we became more and more
civilized. We have now reached the stage where we excel in science,
medicine, arts, religion, and other disciplines. Today's man is
creating, preserving, and destroying things, which were once
considered the unique powers of the GOD. He is now challenging the
nature in every respect by constantly overcoming his constraints
and enlarging his limits. Such a grand outcome of evolution is not
manifest in other living beings. The progress of the humanity is
attributable to man's sense of reasoning which is a blessing
conferred on him by the ALMIGHTY. One cannot procure the intuition
potential from outside and one has to extract it from the deepest
layers of the performing ability of every individual. Above all, it
is a science of 'Silent Inner Revolution' intended for the well
being of humankind and spreading the WISDOM LIGHT for everyone's
benefit. This novel method is based upon the time tested scientific
laws of nature, governing the whole Universe; and this has nothing
to do with race, language, caste, creed, color and religion or
religious affinity or indifference. W e s h o u l d k n o w t h a t
s e l f - enlightenment is not a commodity that one can purchase or
borrow from somebody. It should emulate within oneself. It is a
kind of intuition or instinct. All the great inventions by human
minds at all times had been only out of intuition though one may
call them varyingly as brain-works, knowledge-products, pearls of
wisdom etc. Astounding discoveries become possible during the
periods when the intuition potential of the discoverer is at its
highest 10 11
18. ether and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life;
and man became a living being. According to the Old Testament God
put the first man into deep sleep and created the first woman from
his rib... When the humankind began to assimilate the information
available before him, he feared the nature's fury and started
worshiping it. The Sun was his first object of worship and then he
started worshiping the five elements such as earth, water, fire,
air, and ether. Afterwards he worshipped every power that he had
confronted. He depicted GOD in the form of furious animals he
feared. With evolution, he started to find out ways and means to
control and contain the nature. He began to communicate his
feelings to his fellow human beings with sound; and languages
evolved in that process. The rhythmic sounds in languages came to
be employed to address the GOD giving birth to various mantras his
conscience in a manner similar to the way one draws water that is
present at the bottom of a very deep well. I assure you that TTM is
the right device to pump the power of intuition potential into
every aspect of your human existence. There are ever so many
mysteries around us, the greatest among them being the creation of
this cosmos. Going by our present knowledge, we could assume that
human race exist only on the earth and the scientific community has
not so far come out with any concrete evidence to suggest the
existence of human lives on any other planet in the sun family or
elsewhere in the universe. The Almighty had created this world; He
not only created this world but also created all life forms
including vegetations and animals with senses varying from one to
six. It is said that the Almighty had created the body of the man
from the five elements such as soil of the earth, water, fire, air,
and 12 13
19. worship began to surface - each group of the human race
living in the various parts of the vast world adopting different
forms of worship in conformity with the atmosphere and surroundings
in which they lived. India, the land of Indus, is the fountainhead
of many religions as education was accessible to the Indian
civilization. Gurus and Rishies of the yester years passed on their
knowledge to fellow citizens orally as there were no writing habits
or materials such as paper and pen during those times. The
education during those days was confined to recitation of the Vedas
and Mantras and recording them in the mind. Refinement of the
methods of worship and the evolution of logical reasoning led to
the birth of Buddhism and Jainism in India. Pataliputra and Nalanda
of the Indian continent were the centers of the education during
those days and they were and Vedas showering praises on the God.
The sound that vibrates and re-vibrates in the entire cosmos all
the time at all places is 'OM'. It is a mystic word recognized by
the Hindu mystics in India. In this context, I wish to place on
record that this 'OM' is nothing but a rhythmic sound of every
breathings of all the living creations including the human beings
and the moving Nature in a strange rhythm, which we call ATHMA
RAGA, the Raga of Soul. This life power alone controls the entire
performance of all the creations. In the evolution process, there
were many stages and improvements and consequently rituals varied
from time to time. When the human race began to live in groups near
the river, water happened to be the main source of its livelihood.
In the next process of evolution, men began to use the mother earth
to meet their basic needs of food, shelter, and security. In the
course of time, various modes of 14 15
20. aunt etc. These relatives are only men and women, but we
use many relative terms to identify them. The same person is a son,
grandson, father, grandfather, brother, or uncle depending on the
person who identifies him. Likewise, the same ALMIGHTY is known by
different names such as GOD, LORD, NATURE etc to different people;
whatever may be the name by which it is called, the Almighty
remains the same as the unexplainable and imponderable source of
energy. Let me give an example to you to elucidate the matter
further. The eyes, ears, nose, mouth, head, hands, legs, and all
other parts of the body cannot function independently as they are
all inter- dependent and the whole body alone could be termed as
human being. Likewise, during the early period of evolution men
worshiped the nature which he feared but subsequently when he
overcame that fear with the information and knowledge he equivalent
to the Cambridge and Oxford of the present. With the invasion of
Moguls and the subsequent arrival of Englishmen in India, Islam and
Christianity came to be introduced in India. The degrading caste
system that was practiced among the Hindus forced many people from
the suppressed communities to find new identity and comfort in
these new religions. India has now come out of those dark ages and
today it is the biggest democratic and secular nation in the world.
The Almighty is the unexplainable energy that governs us. We may
say that the Almighty is a core question that remains unanswered
forever. We call IT by various names such as LORD, GOD, SIVA,
VISHNU, BRAHMA, JESUS, ALLAH AND NATURE - like we call our
relatives as mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, 16 17
21. began to see the presence of 'ALMIGHTY' in each and every
thing. The central core of creation is the same; you can call it by
whatever name you prefer. GOD MEN AND SPIRITUAL GURUS SPRING FROM
TIME TO TIME, PERFORM CERTAIN MIRACLES, ATTRACT SOME GROUP OF
PEOPLE, AND SETUP THEIR OWN SECTS BY WAY OF CREATING A DISTINCT
BRAND TO PERPETUATE THEIR IDENTITY. I can assure, these attractions
are only momentary and bound to vanish with the passage of time.
The time-tested philosophy is that there is only ONE SUPERNATURAL
BEING, that is DIVINE COSMIC ENERGY. Therefore, the human race
could flourish and find peace only if they understand this truth
and try to disassociate with 'EGO' that makes claims such as My
society is superior to yours, My God is superior to your God etc.
Causing injury to the other religions, non- believers and other
sects of people is not going to bring Nimmathi (epk;kjp) i.e. peace
to oneself. Likewise success and failure in human life is not
associated with any race, language, caste, creed, color, religion
or ego, but it is associated with his peaceful mind and the
attainment of 'Nimmathi' (epk;kjp) will be possible only if the
threefold unity of body, mind and soul (BMS) is clearly understood
with compassion and clarity. This is the only way we can prosper in
this world along with our beloved human beings. 18 19
22. INTRODUCTION Part - II Dear brothers and sisters, So far, I
have tried my best to make you conversant with the basic issues in
brief. Let us move on to the main subject of Trikarana
Transcendental Meditation (TTM) now. Man is a social animal. While
he lives, he has to live in harmony with members of his family, the
society, and his country; he has to fulfill certain duties that are
expected of him as a citizen, however unpleasant or arduous they
may be. When everyone develops this kind of attitude and cultivate
the habits of tolerance and respect for the rights and feelings of
others, there will be no room for any trouble in family, society
and in the world. Spreading compassion and helping the
fellow-beings are sure recipes for WORLD PEACE. Please listen to me
attentively and visualize how the TTM will relieve the suffering
masses from the stresses and strains of life. The success or
failure in human life depends upon one's physical health, strength
of one's soul and the level of one's mental peace. For any person,
his own body is more familiar and dearer to him than anything else
is, but unfortunately, he knows very little about it. The human
body is a wonderful and mystic formation which represents one of
the most perfectly designed and coordinated structures. Each part
of the body is unique and unparalleled. Even the best science today
cannot make an exact replica of a human body. The human body
consists of a number of interacting systems. The skeleton forms a
rigid framework with 206 bones attached to the muscles, facilitates
movements ordered by the nervous 21 22
23. wide-shouldered, etc. and the body composition like
percentages of bone, fat, muscle and all other elements are
influenced by factors such as diet and exercise. By the time the
human reaches adult-hood, the body has 100 trillion cells. Each
organ is designed to perform an essential life function. The human
body consists of 70-90% water and its significant portion is
composed of carbon- containing organic molecules. Oxygen therefore
contributes a majority of a human body's mass, followed by carbon.
In order to understand the relation of food to the nourishment and
repairing of the body, it will be necessary to learn, at first,
what the human body is composed of and what elements contained in
the food are required to build and keep the body in a healthy
condition. Ninety nine percentage (99%) of the mass of the human
body is made up of major six elements i.e. oxygen 61%, carbon 23%,
hydrogen 10%, nitrogen system, and is responsible for the body's
reaction to stimuli. Hormones produced by the endocrine system,
control many functions including growth and developmental changes
such as puberty. The cardiovascular system circulates blood around
the body, delivering oxygen and nutrients and collecting carbon
dioxide and waste, while the respiratory system exchanges carbon
dioxide with the inhaled oxygen. The lymphatic system fights
infection. The digestive system derives from food energy and
nutrients required for growth and repair. The urinary system
eliminates waste and helps to regulate chemicals in the body. The
reproductive system is concerned with producing offspring. Thus,
the human body is functioning as a factory endlessly right from
womb to tomb. Further, the size of the human body is firstly
determined by diet and secondly by genes. Body type i.e. slim, fat,
tall, short, 23 24
24. 4. Play games or do exercise daily. Through exercise, the
body becomes strong and through games, one can gain mastery over
the movements of the body. 5. Make a firm vow to follow a fixed
routine. 6. Never miss an opportunity to perform good deeds. 7. Do
not hesitate to take on whatever task presented it to him. While
doing so in a proper manner and on regular basis, all the functions
are synchronized with the threefold unification of the body, mind,
and soul (BMS) of humankind. However, because of enormous powers
acquired by a man there are lot of stresses and strains in him.
When a machine exceeds its installed capacity wear and tear is
bound to occur. Remedial measures therefore become necessary;
similarly, TTM provides 2%, calcium 2%, and phosphorus 1%. The
remaining elements such as sulfur, potassium, sodium, chlorine,
magnesium, iron, zinc, and silicon constitute 1% only. Human body
is just like an engine of a vehicle. It is dangerous to drive a
vehicle fitted with a defective engine. We must make our bodies
firm, strong and fit for work. We find that some people have a
strong body and a soft nature. Some, on the other hand, have strong
body and rough character because they lack true knowledge and real
experience. One can make one's body fit for work by adopting the
following methods: 1. Firstly, know what makes the body healthy and
strong and what makes it weak and sick. 2. Always keep a close
watch on whether he is digesting what he eats. 3. From time to
time, skip a meal or two and let the stomach rest. 25 26
25. MULADHARA : This chakra is placed at the bottom end of the
spinal centre of region below genitals. It is the root of the very
life. This chakra is the very base for the entire human body Meta
mephitis. It controls the Adrenal glands and kidney and their
proper functioning. If this chakra is activated under proper
supervision, you can escape from the adverse effect of the failure
of this organ. SVADHISTHANA : This chakra lies just below the navel
point. The sexual attraction emanates from and controlled by this
chakra. Testicles, ovaries are under this control. It has the power
of knowing things beyond the five senses. The birthplace of man's
EGO emanates only from here. MANIPURA : This chakra is located
above the navel point in the central part of the human body. This
place is the spring of all the feeling. This chakra controls
solution to the stress redden life by instigating the human power
to secrete the required output to kindle one's knowledge and wisdom
besides providing good health cheer and peaceful mind. Therefore,
to bring out the success and brightness from within everyone and to
experience the glowing eternal bliss it is our primary duty to
protect the 'threefold unity' through regular practice of some
simple asana or physical exercise, breathe exercise and meditation.
Before that, I wish to enlighten those seven organs of the
endocrine system of the human body viz. Pineal gland; Pituitary
gland; Thyroid and Parathyroid glands; Thymus; Adrenal; Liver and
Pancreas and the Reproductive organs are classified as the core
points of Seven Spiritual Chakras in Hindu philosophy to attain
Salvation / Nimmathi in human life. The following explanations
harmonize the said philosophy with science. 27 28
26. chakra. The third eye is also believed to be located here;
it controls spinal card, lower part of the brain, eyes, nose, and
ears. Pituitary gland is associated with this chakra. SAHASRARA :
This chakra is located in the upper part of the brain and the gland
associated with this chakra is pineal. Man gets wisdom and
knowledge from this chakra and the intuition potential begins from
here and induces performance of tangible actions. KUNDALINI is the
Divine Cosmic Energy in human bodies. If all these chakras are in
proper synchronization with one another, one can gradually raise
the mystic power of 'Kundalini' from Muladhara through sushmnanadi
(spinal cord) by regular practice of some asana breathe exercises,
and meditation. Only that mystic power can liberate a man from his
animal behavior and enable him to attain eternal peace in his life.
liver, gallbladder. The muscles around this part would go
non-functional if this chakra has not been induced. ANAHATA : This
chakra otherwise known as Heart chakra is situated in the region of
heart. Love, goodwill, affection, faith, religion, and good conduct
all emanates from this chakra. Heart and lungs are controlled by
this chakra. The Thymus gland is associated with this chakra.
VISUDDHA : This chakra is available in throat and thyroid and Para
thyroid are associated with this chakra. Communication expressing
feelings and the creativity are emanates from this chakra. Throat,
tongue, respiratory channel, footpath, and hands are under the
control of this chakra. AJNA : This chakra lies between the
eyebrows. Telepathy, knowledge, steadfast mind are controlled by

27. YOGA SYSTEM is an ancient Indian technique of integrating
human personality at the physical mental moral and spiritual
levels. It can be described by a system consisting of the following
eight aspects: 1. Yama' is a moral principle like non- violence,
truthfulness, honesty, integrity, abstinence from sexual and
secular pleasures. 2. Niyama' is a rule of discipline like purity,
contentment, austerity and dedication to divinity 3. Asana' is a
Yogic posture of comfortable sitting that will be helpful to
achieve the target. 4. Pranayama' is the preservation of vital
energy in the body through inhaling, exhaling and controlling the
movements of breath. 5. Pratyhara' is the control of mind and sense
organs 6. Dharana' is a concentration of one's mind 7. Dhyana' is a
deep meditation or concentration of mind at one-point. 8. S a m a t
h i ' i s t h e s t a g e o f transcendental consciousness when the
individual unites with the Universal power. Nevertheless, nowadays
majority of the peoples are under a wrong notion that YOGA means
'Asana' only and they believe that if they practice some asana for
a few minutes daily for a specified period, all their physical
problems, soul weakness, mental ailments, stresses, and strains
will vanish. However, the fact is that asana is only one among the
above eight aspects of YOGA System. My endeavor is to convergent
the wandering mind into a single focus for the benefit of
humankind. For this, everyone has to practice the three major
aspects of YOGA i.e. Asana, Breathe 31 32
28. daily; as an alternative, one can do some simple physical
exercise at least for 30 minutes at one's convenience either in the
morning or evening regularly. That is enough; in fact, physical
exercise is more effective than asana for the present generation to
overcome the stresses and strains that are confronting them today.
To elucidate the issue further I am giving a chart below to know
how much calories are exhausted per hour through various regular
exercises,- Squash: 844c; Skipping, Swimming: 704c; Basket-ball,
cycling, running, walking upstair: 563c; Football, Ice- skating,
Tennis: 493c; Cricket, Skating: 352c; Dancing: 317c; Golf, Table
tennis: 281c; Housework, walking: 246c; Standing: 120c; Sitting 90c
& Sleeping: 65c. BREATHE EXERCISE is nothing but Pranayama; it
is a preservation of vital Exercise, and Meditation on a regular
basis and then only one can achieve perfection in all other
aspects. These three are the only practical aspects of the YOGA
system and the remaining are the resultant manifestations. However,
in the modern science physical exercise is an alternative for
asana. Many people attempt to learn asana, but when they face
difficulties, they just lack motivation to continue and give up
their practice. Besides, they wrongly conclude that this should be
started when one is young and then regularly practiced without any
break in order to attain the ability to perform the asana postures
perfectly. In this present world, all the physical problems and
allied mental ailments can be treated with appropriate asana
techniques or physical exercises. In my view every human being may
cultivate the habit of doing few asana slowly for 10 to 15 minutes

29. energy of Oxygen or Pranasakthi in the body through
inhaling, exhaling and controlling the movements of breath. As per
the law of science, oxygen is the prime factor in the life of human
race. The human energy, his mental peace, and his performance are
all governed by the intake of oxygen only. In the human body, the
oxygen is absorbed by the blood stream in the lungs, and then
transported to the cells where an elaborated process takes place.
The living cell is the site of tremendous biochemical activity
called metabolism. Oxygen plays a vital role in the breathing
processes and in the metabolism of the living organisms. Oxygen
supports our life, oxidizes, or burns food to create energy and
heat for our bodies. This process of chemical and physical change
goes on repeatedly in the human body being responsible for the
build-up of new tissue, replacement of old tissue, conversion of
food to energy, disposal of waste materials, reproduction and all
the activities that we characterize as "life." Even a
nonprofessional would understand that only as long as one breathes
he is considered a living being; otherwise, he is a corpse, a dead
body. Circulation of blood throughout the body facilitate digestion
of food, nourishment on the body and mental thinking- all these
activities performed with the help of the power of Oxygen only. It
is essential for each and everyone to learn the technique of
controlling and utilizing the power of Oxygen for stilling the
restless mind. Besides, Oxygen diffuses through membranes into red
blood cells after inhalation into the lungs. The enzyme uses oxygen
to catalyze many oxidation reactions in the body, which is called
metabolism. Carbon dioxide, a waste product, is released from the
cell and into the blood, where it combines with bicarbonate and
hemoglobin for transport 35 36
30. threefold unity of body, mind and soul (BMS) and a method
detaching oneself from physical problems, mental anxieties etc., by
silent meditation and repetition of a rhythmic mystic sound to
attain bliss and wisdom and enjoy the real happiness. It is a
method for acquainting our mind with good feature. There is
limitless power in the human mind. Those who can consolidate this
power and make it one- pointed become renowned for their genius in
the world. If one is not able to concentrate this power, it is
wasted. To be successful in the battle of life, search for the
infinite storehouse of power accumulated in you. With great seal
and determined perseverance, you can once bring your mind under
control; and. there will be nothing that you cannot achieve.
Naturally, the mind is extremely restless and obstinate. It is very
difficult to restrain it from going in the direction it is
accustomed to it. Again, if the mind is to the lungs. Blood
circulates back to the lungs and the process repeats. It has been
evaluated that normally a man inhales an average of 6 liters of air
in a minute with a speed of 160 km/hour totaling to 8,640 liters in
a day. MENTAL PERFORMANCE IN THE HUMAN BODY CAN IMPROVE BY FEEDING
THE BRAIN WITH EXTRA OXYGEN. The oxygen regimen improves alertness,
reflexes, memory, and apparently intelligence. Therefore, everyone
should do the breathe exercise at least for 10 to 15 minutes before
meditation regularly for having more oxygen. If one were able to
control the breath in tune to the set of rules properly then the
entire body would be under his command. Finally, I am coming to my
new m e c h a n i s m o f T R I K A R A N A TRANSCENDENTAL
MEDITATION (TTM). It is a Spiritual Science and a simple scientific
technique of blending the 37 38
31. engaged in good thoughts, it will naturally tends towards
that direction and make one's life sublime. You must realize
finally that you possess an infinite power within the mind.
Therefore, to direct the mind to the proper path, you should
observe the following principles: 1. Always keep the mind engaged
in noble thoughts 2. Perform all jobs, big or small whatever it may
be with great care so that no one will find fault with your work 3.
Look upon all people as your own brothers and sisters; love all the
lands as your own motherland 4. Have respect for all religions and
religiously unaffiliated people and the society. 5. Hold on to the
knowledge that the mind is your servant and you are the master of
your mind firmly. Do not let the mind become easily excited. 6. Do
not give expression to any weakness or sentimentality in the mind
and 7. By thinking of the loveliness and majesty of the Almighty
and great souls, the mind becomes pure, clear, one-pointed and
strong forever. When your mind is peaceful, free from all worries
and mental discomforts, certainly you will experience the true
happiness. If you train your mind to become peaceful you will be
happy all the time, even in the most adverse conditions, but if
your mind is not peaceful then even if you have the most pleasant
external conditions you will not be happy. Therefore, it is very
important to keep your mind peaceful always by regular practice of
meditation. Asana or physical exercise and Breathe exercises are
the pre-steps to clear the body and soul and to create an ideal
platform for the wandering mind to carry out meditation. The
essence of the 39 40
32. meditation is convergence in the forehead just above the
nose in between the eyebrows and from there to the middle of the
brain at the base pituitary gland located and behind this at back
pineal glands is situated. Therefore, one, comfortably sitting at a
quiet place, should meditate without any interruption from outside
influences for Twenty (20) minutes daily each in the morning and
evening. It will cause perfect functioning of pituitary gland and
pineal gland and induce the thymus (mind) to secrete the required
output to kindle one's worldly knowledge and wisdom besides
providing good health and peaceful mind. Above all, it creates a
'Silent Inner Revolution', the threefold unity for the wellbeing's
of humankind. The benefits are boundless! To say few,- 1) Improving
the daily performance by increasing the mind power through
instigation of intuition 2) Develop self confidence and enable one
to perform his duties all through the day with rejuvenation 3)
Removes defective tendency, lack of confidence and shows the path
towards success 4) Help to have free flow of blood, breath, sustain
the general health, soul strength, and provide mind peace,
happiness 5) Remove all the stresses, strains that confront human
beings today, and provide complete liberation from all worries 6)
Bless everyone with total peace, ultimate success, and joy in life
forever. 41 42
33. 7) Spreads compassion and helps the humankind in attainment
of WORLD PEACE Now I hope that it is my privilege to sharing my
wonderful experience with fellow human beings and making them feel
the perfect physical health and profound mental peace in this
troublesome world. All who have eyes to see and ears to hear are
requested to avail this great opportunity not only for their
personal benefit but also for the welfare of humanity as a whole.
Therefore, I need your full involvement and co-operation in this
joint pursuit so that I could impart permanent happiness and joy in
everyone's life forever! Before coming to the conclusion, I wish to
make clear that the intuition potential is an important factor in
human life and my emphasis is to bring it to light and give it a
platform to enact a full play. The compassion within a human being
is not visible to others. The synchronization of the parts of the
human body needs no explanation. When a man experiences a pain in
his leg, that feeling of pain gives rise to tears in his eyes.
There is no enmity among the parts of the human body. While the
soul departs from him, it leaves the whole body behind silently to
be consumed by the soil. But when it comes to the society you could
see competition, vengeance, anger etc and the society is divided
between the rich and the poor, the powerful and the weak, the
beautiful and the ugly; the o p p r e s s o r s a n d t h e o p p r
e s s e d . Everywhere there are negative thoughts. Why is this
division and disparity? When will this sorry state of affairs
change? It is a matter of fact that everyone is having some kind of
deficiency. I wish to ask one question to all of you. Is there
anyone who is cent-percent perfect in this world? When 43 44
34. motives will seem paltry and fade away and an earnest and
ceaseless activity involving sacrifice would embrace you. In this
earth, we could see death and life, decay and growth, corruption
and purification existing together at every point of time. In this
paradox, the human mind needs to shed its stress to find the peace.
Furthermore, in this stress- dominated world, blending of the
'threefold unity' in a scientific manner is necessary for the
suffering masses to attain Bliss and wisdom with total peace and
success in life forever. I, therefore, once again invite all of
you, to join me, share the beautiful moments that I have been
experiencing for the past thirty years and enjoy the life gifted by
the ALMIGHTY. - YOGI SRIJI it is the fact that no one is perfect,
why everyone is blaming others and not accepting and adopting the
deficiency and weakness of others in the society? In this context,
I request all of you to have it in mind that the life, once
completed, cannot be brought back at any cost. Therefore, everyone
should understand this fact and try to live with more compassion
and love. The compassion towards the human beings should rise in
every heart and it should instigate the intuition to adjust and
adapt to the needs of common living, education, religion, and
peaceful presentation of issues and refine man into a livable and
lovable social being. Let the past be buried, I welcome you one and
all to come and join me to start a new beginning with an
understanding of my innovation. A true and sincere faith in TTM,
the simple and modern scientific technique and its regular practice
would definitely lift all of you to unexpected levels. Worldly 45

35. POWER OF THE MIND Take up one thought. Make that one
thought for your life think of it, dream of it, and live on that
thought. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body,
be full of that thought, and just leave every other thought alone.
This is the way to success. If we really want to be blessing, and
make others blessed, we must go deeper and deeper. The more this
power of concentration, the more knowledge is acquired, because
this is the one and only method of acquiring knowledge. Even the
lowest shoeblack, if he gives more concentration, will black shoes
better; the cook with concentration will cook a meal all the
better. In making money, or in worshipping Almighty, or in doing
anything, the stronger the power of concentration, the better will
that thing be done. This is the one call, one knock, which opens
the gates of the nature, and lets out floods of light. How one has
all the knowledge in the world been gained but by the concentration
of the powers of the mind. The world is ready to give up its
secrets if we only know how to knock, how to give it the necessary
blow. The strength and force of the blow come through
concentration. There is no limit to the power of the human mind.
The more concentrated it is, the more power is brought to bear on
one point; that is the secret. The main difference between men and
the animals is the difference in their power of concentration. All
success in any line of work is the result of this. The 47 48
36. difference in their power of concentration also constitutes
the difference between man and man. The difference is in the degree
of concentration. The ordinary human being wastes Ninety per cent
of thought force, and therefore he is constantly committing
blunders; the trained man or mind never makes a mistake. So, to
attain purity living in this life shall we all go to the forest?
What good would it do? If the mind is not under control, it is no
use of living in a cave or forest because the same mind will bring
all disturbances there. We will find thousands and thousands of
devils there because all the devils are in the mind. If the mind is
under control, we can have the cave or anywhere, wherever we are.
It is our own mental attitude, which makes the world what it is for
us. Our thoughts make things beautiful and our thoughts make things
ugly. The whole world is in our own minds. Learn to see things in
the proper light. All the great prophets, saints, and seers of the
world what did they do? In one span of life, they lived the whole
life of humanity to come to perfection. In one life, they perfect
themselves; they have no thought for anything else, never live, a
moment for any other idea, and thus the way shortened for them.
This is what is mean by concentration, intensifying the power of
assimilation, thus shortening the time. No force can be created; it
can only be directed. Therefore, we must learn to control the grand
powers that are already in our hands and by will power make them
spiritual instead of merely animal. Thus, it clearly seen that
chastity is the correct- stone of all morality and of all religion.
Free! We who for a moment cannot govern our own minds, nay, cannot
hold 49 50
37. our minds on a subject; focus it on a point to the
exclusion of everything else for a moment! Yet we call ourselves
free. Think of it The mind uncontrolled and unguided will drag us
down, down, forever- rend us, kill us; and the mind controlled and
guided will save us, free us. What work do you expect from men of
little hearts? Nothing can in this world! You must have an iron
will if you would cross the ocean. You must be strong enough to
pierce mountains. Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power,
and they fill the universe. As vibration continues, so thought
remains in the form of thought until translated into action. For
example, force is latent in the man's arm until he strikes a blow,
when he translates it into activity. We are the heirs of good and
evil thoughts. If we make ourselves pure through the instruments of
good thoughts, these will enter us. The good soul will not be
receptive to evil thoughts. In the history of humankind, you will
find that there come these Messengers and that from their very
birth their mission is found and formed. The whole plan is there,
laid down; and you see them swerving not one inch from that.
Because they come with a mission, they come with a message, when
they speak, each word is direct, and it bursts like a bombshell.
What is in the world, unless it has the power behind? What matters
it what language you speak, and how you arrange your language? What
matters it whether you speak correct grammar or with fine rhetoric?
What matters it whether your language is ornamental or not? The
question is whether you have anything to give or not? It is a
question of giving and taking, and not listening. Have you anything
to give? That is the first question. If you have, then, give. -
