Urdhvareta Yogi and Brahmajnani
Question
Dear Sir,
I have few questions regarding Urdhvareta Yogi and Brahmajnani.
1. Brahmajnani is one whose kundalini reached Sahasrar. What about Urdhvareta yogi - has his/her kundalini reached Ajna or Visshuddhi?
2. I read in one book that brahmacharya breaks happen only till kundalini is in Anahat or lower chakras. Once kundalini reaches Visshuddhi, the seed formation itself stops and one has no chance for downfall. What is your information on this? I read in one of your reply that this is true for Ajna and not Visshuddhi.
3. Can a Brahmajnani produce children? I assume here that a Urdhvareta yogi has no business with producing children as (s)he has still not realized Self and any brahmacharya break will be only a downfall. But, can a brahmajnani do so as he is already done with the goal of spiritual realization? Does his/her system not stop production of reproductive elements completely? I have not seen any instance of any brahmajnani producing children except in mythology like Lord Krishna producing 100 children - householder yogis like Kabir seemed to have produced children before they attained brahmajnana. Your take?
4. I read somewhere that a special spiritual period starts from 2012 onward - do not know how long it will stay, but it is said that from 2012 onward, chance for success in Self-Realization is very high for spiritual aspirants. One of my friends saw my birth chart and predicted that I have a very good chance for Self-Realization in 2014-15 and that I should avoid any brahmacharya break till that period meaning no marriage till then. Your take on these things?
Thanks for your clarifications - they help a lot.
Regards,
Gopal
Answer
1. When there is complete purification of Ajna by Kundalini, the Yogi masters Sasmita-Savikalpa Samadhi and becomes an Urdhvareta. He is now the equivalent of a Deva (celestial) in rank and no longer a human. 'Bindu' (seed) becomes steady at this chakra as 'Soma' (nectar) and no longer flows down to the Svadhistana. Hence semen production stops (as long as he does not become a victim of sexual stimulus, but it can restart if he willfully gives in to sexual urges)
2. A break in Brahmacharya can occur even after Kundalini reaches Sahasrara. One whose Kundalini has reached Sahasrara chakra through Nirvikalpa Samadhi is a Brahmajnani (one who has tasted the knowledge of Brahman) but not yet a Jivanmukta (one who is liberated through Kaivalya while in this body and for ever). This is proven by the fact that the Yogi exhibits slight emotions after he comes down from Nirvikalpa. Till all the seeds of past Samskara-s that are alive in the Karana Sharira (causal body) are not fully burnt through Dharma-Megha Samadhi and complete self-realization attained leading to the state of liberation, one is still prone to downfall (though the chances are less). Sage Visvamitra had reached Ajna and was an Urdhvareta when the Menaka episode lead to a break. Lord Buddha was tempted by Kamasena trying to break his practice even the night before he attained Kaivalya (liberation) [despite the fact that his Kundalini had reached Sahasrara many years before he attained liberation]
3. One who has reached Nirvikalpa Samadhi (a Brahmajnani but not yet a Jivanmukta) has many siddhi-s under his control. If it is in the destiny of such a Nirvikalpa Yogi to beget offspring, he can do so by transferring the concerned soul into the body of his wife without physical contact through his Ichha Shakti' (power of will) alone. Physical contact or semen are unnecessary (as semen is only a medium of transference for the soul in case of the ordinary man).
4. Predictions concerning self-realization are known only to realized souls who donot divulge such facts. The correct way is to put in ones best efforts without attachement to the fruits. At the right time, the Lord sends forth that which one deserves.
