SEEKING TO DISSOLVE IN LIGHT


The Abbess at an Abbey of Nuns in Tibet is seen dissolving into light. Her younger sister also a nun narrates the last moments of her departure. Here we have a first-hand account of a witness to this marvel. She had asked her if she was in pain, but she started laughing. "She died sitting in a meditation posture. Lights appeared all around her as her body began to dissolve. At the end I was able to lift her shrunken body with just one hand like a doll." 

I shared the article "A VISION OF DEMATERIALIZATION OF RAMALINGA'S LIVING BODY" by Gangadharan, a disciple of Mother Mira Alfassa at https://agathiyarvanam.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-final-transformation.html some time back. This article on the website http://www.ramalinga.com states that Mother Mira Alfassa (aid of Sri Aurobindo of Pondicherry) had seen, during her meditation, the happenings that took place on that Friday night when Ramalinga Adigal attained the Jothi in Sidhivalagam. This is indeed a rare account of the mystery behind Ramalinga Adigal’s disappearance. We are blessed to come across this wonderful revelation that brings to light the process that is much talked about becoming light. 

Hearing Ramalinga Adigal becoming light and later when Tavayogi told us that Ramalinga Adigal's devotee Sri Jeganatha Swamigal's body emitted light as he was laid in Samadhi in 1959 at Tapah, Perak, Malaysia, I told Tavayogi that I wanted to see him perform the same feat. He replied that he had missed the boat as the transformation has to happen before the age of 60. Tavayogi was 69 when I met him in Malaysia in 2005. However, he told me his end would be in the form of Sahaja Samadhi. 

Sahaj samadhi is a type of samadhi, or "deep spiritual bliss," which yogis believe to be their natural state. Many consider Sahaj samadhi to be the highest or the most complete level of samadhi. It is said to be unconditioned, non-dualistic, and uncontrived; and, as a state, it is always accessible to the wise and those who have burned their past karma.

But I am consoled by Supramania Swami who told me that he had seen the light or Jothi days before he passed on, on 7 February 2007. Agathiyar came in the Nadi that weekend and told me that it was true that Supramania Swami had gone into Samadhi. 

Dhavantri came after Tavayogi's demise in 2018 and told us that Tavayogi would guide us further in the light form. I was overjoyed that he did attain that state after all. Later Dhanvantri told us that our tapas helped to bring him to the state which proved Supramania Swami right when he used to remind me to carry out my tapas diligently so that he shall rise in stature. I guess we help each other achieve his/her objectives. We are glad that we had unknowingly contributed to the well-being of our gurus. 

Then when Jnana Jothiamma came along I was eagerly waiting for her to achieve that state. Agathiyar was carefully molding her behind closed doors in Chennai. But to our disbelief, he took her with him abruptly putting an end to all the plans he had laid out for her upon coming out of her isolation and solitude. I believe her love for him overshadowed all the gifts and treasures that awaited her, all the adoration and respect that was due to come her way, and all the power and authority that came with it. She opted to have Agathiyar instead. 

We come across (Siva) Jyoti mentioned in The Gurbani - Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS 1238) quoted in http://www.gurbani.org/articles/webart147.php

Upon awakening to the Divine Light within (Siva Joti), Maya banishes, and doubts are eradicated (The Gurbani - Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS 1238).

Those who become the Gurmukhs are blessed with the Divine Light of the Lord (Siva Joti); Maya comes to serve them (The Gurbani - Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS 1324).

When the Satguru (Self, God, etc., is awakened within), He becomes our Protector; through His Divine Light, the Wisdom is attained (The Gurbani - Sri Guru Granth Sahib, SGGS 1328).

And it all starts with their worship. Ramalinga Adigal started worshiping Lord Murugan in Chennai and Thirutani, Lord Siva and Vadivudai Ambigai in Otriyore, and Lord Nadarajah in Chidambaram. Supramania Swami worshipped Lord Murugan of Tiritani and Tiruchendur, Annamalaiyar at Tiruvannamalai, and Lord Vishnu. Tavayogi started a Thaiveedu at Tirupur after coming to know his guru Chitramuthu Adigal. Chitramuthu Adigal himself was a disciple of Sri Jeganatha Swamigal. He spread the teachings of Ramalinga Adigal. Jeganathar was a follower of Ramalinga Adigal's teachings. Ramalinga Adigal follows Agathiyar when he visits our home. 

"All the nuns hope to achieve the body of light for it signifies the end to the cycle of reincarnation", adds the narrator. Much has been said about Ramalinga Adigal's mission to dissolve in light. But we fail to realize that many others have attempted and succeeded as this Abbess did. This state is available to all who desire or rather surrender to the will of the divine. By his grace, their wish to dematerialize shall materialize.
