From the phase of material and religious life, one eventually has to come to the spiritual path. Here then begins a journey of internal discovery, where one discovers the potential of the untapped energy source within us. A guru who has been through it shall show us the way and the means to achieve and attain a state where the unseen but felt energy is also seen in everything else. I was blessed in many ways to be given numerous opportunities to first experience and taste and later come to know its essence through the grace of my gurus and the Siddhas.
I was blessed to have my nephew come along in 2001 and pass me the Vasudeva Mantra "Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya" that I discovered later was from Agathiyar. I received this mantra even before Agathiyar physically came to me through the Nadi reading a year later. I learned later from R Venu Gopalan's book, "The Hidden Mysteries of Kundalini", that it is said to pierce the Vishnu Granthi, the heart knot, which adds obstructions for the Sadhaka, keeping one under the wraps of attachment and bondage. It also helps in dissolving all the past karmic deeds for a better future. This is mentioned again in "Awakening State" at http://www.awakeningstate.com/spiritual-awakening/om-namo-bhagavate-vasudevaya/.
"This Sanskrit Mantra can be practiced to attain freedom (Moksha) from Samsara – the 'Karmic Wheel' that keeps us bound to cycle after cycle of incarnations. This liberation mantra is a karmic eraser."
In a book titled "Saint Dhruva", it is mentioned that this Mantra was given to Dhruva by Saint Narada, who initiated Dhruva into the mysteries of Yoga and meditation, leading to Samadhi. Saint Lahari Mahasaya mentions this Mantra, naming this sadhana, Omkar Kriya, in an extract from the English translation of the book "Kriya Yoga Vijnan - The Science of Kriya Yoga". I am indeed blessed to have received the same.
The other two knots are Brahma Granti and Rudra Granthi. We are told that further practice of Pranayama would pierce these, too, and the six chakras. And it came in the form of Tavayogi showing me and several others some Pranayama techniques and Yoga Asanas in 2007. The dormant energy at the Muladhara Chakra, unknowingly to me, was awakened and later stagnated ponding at the Svathisdhana Chakra. Agathiyar came along to release its flow in 2024, and since then, Sakti, making her way up, merged with Siva in the Sahasrara Chakra and has been dancing the divine dance, bringing on Sat, Chit, and Ananda.
