Buddha Boy and Prahlad gyani- Modern Rishis and Yogi Live without intake

Ram Bahadur Bomjon, also called the Buddha Boy born in Nepal which is the birth place of Gautam Buddha. Coincidentally, the name of the mother of this Buddha Boy is also Mayadevi. There are a number of websites and blogs on the web which narrate stories of Ram Bahadur Bomjon. It is pretty good to inform you that Ratanpur, Nepal, birth place of Ram Bahadur Bomjon is just 10 km far from my hometown. This fact obliged me to write at least a single article about him. Even though, my words in this article about Ram Bahadur Bomjon are not my personal thoughts. What I believe and what I don't about Ram Bahadur Bomjon is part of another article. In this article I am writing those things about him which I knew from ave news, a news television of Nepal, Prateek Daily, a local Magazine from Birgunj  and some local people talking about him. So you can read and believe this article by using your own conscience.
This Buddha boy was highlighted by national and international Medias when he began his mysterious meditation without food and water on 16th May 2005. Discovery Channel also broadcasted a 45 minutes documentary about him. Then, thousand of devotees, researchers and common people began to flood in the Ratanpur Jungle to visit this new Buddha. People believed him as reincarnation of Gautam Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. His parents narrated his story of childhood as divine story. A specialized website was also created on him.


 WHERE IS HE NOW>>>
Ram Bahadur Bomjon has been forced to take sanctuary in his relative’s house after authorities banned him for meditating in Dharahara community forest in Bara District. He has been meditating in remote forest of Bara district since 2005.Since September 12, 2012 he has been staying at the home of Gopal yonjan in Syangwadanda in Pattharkot VDC-1 of Sarlahi district.

Ram Bahadur Bomjon chartered a helicopter to reach Sindhupalchowk district on September 20th,2013.According to local news source, Ram Bahadur bomjon has been staying in cottage at Todke Bhir in Badegau VDC.
One of the disciple of Bomjon, Ram chandra Khadka who also happens to be the permanent resident of Badegau constructed the cottage and provided all the necessary arrangement for Bomjon's stay there.However, the land where cottage has been built is provided by the Local villagers there.In addition, around 16 people have been staying with Bomjon for his protection along with 8 dogs, 2 rabbits and 1 horse.
“The animals were brought for security purposes,” said Ram Chandra Khadka, adding, “Food for us will be managed for now by locals.” 
More than 500 Local villagers there came to see Ram bahadur Bomjon as soon as the news spread that he came here for meditation.
“He has come here to give continuity to his mediation. He will mediate for five to eight years,” said  Khadka
Ram Bahadur Bomjon who has been in media for all the wrong doing recently said to villagers of Badegau VDC that knowledge and salvation alone were the greatest religion in the world before going to Meditation.

astrology of Ram Bahadur Bomjon
 Ram Bahadur Bomjon (Sanskrit: राम बहादुर बामजान) (born c. 9 April 1990, sometimes spelled Bomjan, Banjan, or Bamjan), also known as Palden Dorje (his monastic name) and now Dharma Sangha, is from Ratanapuri, Bara district, Nepal. Some of his supporters have claimed that he is a reincarnation of Gautama Buddha, but Ram himself has denied this, and many practitioners of Buddhism agree that the Gautama Buddha has entered nirvana and cannot be reborn.[citation needed]
He drew thousands of visitors and media attention by spending months in meditation. Nicknamed the Buddha Boy, he began his meditation on May 16, 2005. He reportedly disappeared from the hollow tree where he had been meditating for months on March 16, 2006, but was found by some followers a week later. He told them he had left his meditation place, where large crowds had been watching him, "because there is no peace". He then went his own way and reappeared elsewhere in Nepal on December 26, 2006, but left again on March 8, 2007. On March 26, 2007, inspectors from the Area Police Post Nijgadh in Ratanapuri found Bomjon meditating inside an underground chamber of about seven square feet.
On 10 November 2008, Bomjon reappeared in Ratanapuri and spoke to a group of devotees in the remote jungle.


Buddhist background

Bomjon is a member of the Tamang community.[citation needed]
Bomjon's story gained popularity because it resembled a legend from the Jataka Nidanakatha about Gautama Budhha's enlightenment. This led some devotees to claim Ram was the reincarnation of Gautama Buddha. On 8 November 2005 Bomjon said, "Tell the people not to call me a Buddha. I don't have the Buddha's energy. I am at the level of a rinpoche." Rinpoche ("precious jewel") is an honorific used in Tibetan Buddhism for a teacher and adept. He said that he will need six more years of meditation before he can become a Buddha.[1][not in citation given]
According to his followers Bomjon may have been or may be a bodhisattva, a person on the path to attaining full enlightenment or Buddhahood for the benefit of all sentient beings. According to the founder of Buddhism, Gautama Buddha, there were innumerable Buddhas before him and there are an infinite number of Buddhas to come. Others claim[citation needed] that Bomjon may be Maitreya Bodhisattva, the predicted incarnation of the future Buddha. Scholars doubt the claims of his supporters.[2] Mahiswor Raj Bajracharya, president of the Nepal Buddhist Council, has said, "We do not believe he is Buddha. He does not have Buddha's qualities".[2]
His mother's name is Maya Devi Tamang, the same first name as Buddha's mother. It is reported that his mother fainted when she found out that her son intended to meditate for an indefinite period.[3]

Wandering to Bara district

Bomjon went missing on 11 March 2006. His followers theorized that he went deeper into the woods to look for a quieter place to meditate.[4]
On 19 March 2006, a group of Bomjon's followers met with him about 2 miles (3.2 km) southwest of his meditation site. They say they spoke to him for thirty minutes, during which Bomjon said, "There is no peace here," and that he would return in six years, which would be in 2011 or 2012. He left a message for his parents telling them not to worry.[5][not in citation given]
On 25 December 2006, villagers in Bara district spotted Bomjon meditating. He was carrying a sword for protection in the jungle, reminding reporters that "Even Gautama Buddha had to protect himself," and claimed to have eaten nothing but herbs in the interim.[6][dead link] He reiterated his six-year commitment to Buddhist devotion, and said he would allow people to come and observe him, as long as they remained at some distance and did not bother him. When a reporter pointed out that pilgrims to his meditation site would be making donations in his name, he asked for the donations to not be abused or used for commercial purposes. A new wave of visitors came to see him and pray at his new meditation spot.[7]

Meditating in a pit

On 26 March 2007, news spread of Bomjon meditating underground. Inspector Rameshwor Yadav of the Area Police Post Nijgadh, found Bomjon inside an underground chamber, a bunker-like ditch seven feet square. "His face was clean and hair was combed well," Yadav said. According to him, the chamber had been cemented from all sides and fitted with a tiled roof. Indra Lama, a local deployed as Bomjon's caretaker since the beginning of his intensive meditation, said the chamber was prepared per Bomjon's request. "After granting audience a week ago, he expressed his desire to meditate inside the ground; so we built it," he said.[8]

Preaching in Halkhoriya jungle

On 2 August 2007, Bomjon addressed a large crowd in Halkhoriya jungle in the Bara district of southern Nepal [see 2nd video down above - ed.]. The Namo Buddha Tapoban Committee, which is devoted to looking after Bomjon, assembled the meeting. A notice about the boy's first-ever preaching was broadcast by a local FM radio station, and the committee also invited people by telephone. Around three thousand people gathered to listen to Bomjon's address. A video was made of the event.[9][not in citation given] According to Krishna Hari, a blogger who wrote an article and took pictures of the meeting, Bomjon's message was, "The only way we can save this nation is through spirituality".[10]

Claims of media

Some supporters believe that claims of media are less relevant than Bomjon's undisputed ability to remain nearly motionless in the same position day after day, with no regard for extremes of weather including cold winter and monsoon rains. American writer George Saunders visited Bomjon and observed him through a single night, and was impressed by Bomjon's perfectly still stature, even during an evening climate which seemed unbearably cold to the much better clothed journalist.[11]
In December 2005, a nine-member government committee led by Gunjaman Lama watched Bomjon carefully for 48 hours and observed his not taking any food or water during that time. A video recording was also made of this test from a distance of 3 meters.[12]

Reappearance in Ratanpuri jungle

On 10 November 2008, Bomjon reappeared and gave blessings to approximately 400,000 pilgrims over a 12-day period in the remote jungle of Ratanpuri, 150 km (93 mi) southeast of Kathmandu, near Nijgadh. His hair was shoulder-length and his body was wrapped in a white cloth. He made two speeches in which he urged people to recognize the compassion in their hearts, and their connection to one another through the all-encompassing soul.[13][dead link]

Controversies

The BBC quoted a local Nepali newspaper which claimed that Bomjon had admitted to slapping some local villagers after having been physically assaulted by them on July 22, 2010. Bomjon said locals had been interrupting his meditation by climbing onto his platform, mimicking him, and attempting to manhandle him, and that he was "therefore forced to beat them". According to the newspaper, he claims he slapped them "two or three times", while the attackers alleged that they had been assaulted more seriously. Bomjon had been fasting before the altercation.[14]

    15 Tips For Empaths And Highly Sensitive People

    http://themindunleashed.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/empaths.jpgEmpathic ability allows you to read and understand people’s energy. This ability may be genetic, passing from generation to generation. You may share this ability with a relative, so look at your family tree; does anyone else seem to fit the description? Empaths have the ability to scan another’s energy for thoughts, feelings and possibly for past, present, and future life occurrences. Most empaths are unaware of how this really works, and have accepted that they are sensitive to other people’s energy. The ability to correctly perceive and to some extent mirror the energy of another is a challenge. This gift allows us to steer ourselves through life with added perception. You need to be selective and have coping skills in place, if not you will easily be overwhelmed.
    These are some excellent methods for coping:
    1. Schedule time with you:
    Spending time alone creates the space needed to release emotion, energy and stress.
    2. Positive Affirmations:
    Short messages that train thought patterns. An example: “Let me receive what is in my best and highest good at this time”
    3. Shielding:
    Placing a protective shield of white light that is around and encasing you in a bubble, remember to make a grounding cord so you don’t float away!
    4. Chakra Cleansing and Balancing:
    Regular cleaning of the chakras will keep your energy field free of negative or unwanted energy. Re-balance them by bringing in energy that will create alignment and balance.
    5. Centering:
    Align yourself with spirit and get out of Ego. Try to live in the moment and whatever emotion comes up express and release it.
    6. Stones:
    Some people find that crystals and gemstones aid in clearing negative energy and maintaining balance. Choose yours by trying several different stones,and by paying attention to how each feels.
    7. Aroma therapy:
    Essential oils can enhance well being. Choose what elevates or calms your mood.
    8. Forgiveness:
    Forgiving others and forgiving self is one of the most powerful tools you have. It will clear your energy and raise your vibrational rate.
    9. Grounding:
    We have a grounding cord in the root chakra that connects us to the earth. Being aware of this and using this cord to both send negative energy into the earth where it is absorbed and drawing nourishing energy up from the center of the earth will increase your energetic flow.
    10. Meditation:
    Quiets the mind so you can center, be present and listen to the voice within.
    11. Soothing Sounds:
    Relax yourself using music or nature sounds.
    12. Animals and Nature:
    Being in Nature or spending time with our pets is a great way to relax, clear energy and connect.
    13. Smudging:
    The Native Americans have been doing this with great results for years. Burning sage while stating an intention is a great method for clearing energy.
    14. Yoga:
    Yoga is effective because it combines breathing, centering and grounding. A wonderful way to raise vibrational energy.
    15. Gratitude and intention journal:
    Ending the day by writing a list of things you are grateful for and then stating an intention to work towards keeps the energetic flow steady.

    Pineal Gland -Mystery of Spirituality

    http://themindunleashed.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/10-querstions.jpg
    The pine cone shaped, pea-sized pineal gland, located in the center of the human brain, is an organ of tremendous interest these days. To many spiritual seekers it is the ‘seat of the soul‘ and the ‘third eye,’ the anatomical part of the human body that acts as our spiritual antennae, connecting us to the non-physical, spiritual planes of existence. However, to many scientists and rigid materialist thinkers, it is strictly an endocrine gland responsible for the secretion of the hormone melatonin, a substance which, among other things, aids in the regulation of our circadian rhythms.
    Far from cased closed, this small, but intriguing piece of the human organism is the source of endless discussion and consideration, as many people believe that by cleansing, detoxifying or decalcifying the pineal gland, one can more readily achieve spiritual states of consciousness and can experience with greater depth and clarity.
    Of course naysayers who disregard the possibility of the existence of any spiritual dimension to life and to the pineal gland are quick to point out that no scientific evidence has proven that the pineal gland is in fact the organ responsible for spiritual experience. Yet, many people who’ve developed the subtle awareness and inward reflection required to connect to the spiritual qualities of humanity can clearly sense that something profound takes place within the area of the brain where the pineal gland sits, including visions, intuitive thoughts, vibrations, harmonic resonance with certain sounds, and other mystical phenomenon.
    As the debate between science and spirituality carries on, the pineal gland sits at the center of the brain enticing both spiritual adepts and naysayers alike to take a closer look into the mysteries that make human beings spiritual creatures capable having psychological experiences that evade validation by modern scientific research methods and modes of thought.
    Here are 10 questions about the pineal gland that add to the mystery of spirituality:
    1. Is the pineal gland the evolutionary remnant of a literal third mammalian eye that moved into the center of the brain and changed functions from gathering light to entraining rhythms in accordance with information gathered by the retina?
    2. Why do the visionary states of consciousness induced by psychedelics and meditative practices seem to be centered around the very part of the brain where the pineal gland sits?
    3. If there is no connection between spirituality and the pineal gland, how is it that the 6th chakra (Ajna chakra), according to ancient Hindu tradition, is located precisely where the pineal gland sits, and has for centuries been associated with the ‘mind’s eye,’ the eye of intellect and intuition?
    4. Is there a connection between the spiritual promise of the pineal gland, which is shaped like a pine cone, and the Pigna, the colossal bronze pine cone statue of ancient Rome which now sits in a courtyard in the Vatican?
    5. Does the pineal gland produce the body’s natural supply of DMT, dimethyltriptamine, a chemical compound that produces incredible visionary effects when consumed in concentrated form or in the Amazonian medicine Ayahuasca?
    6. Does the pineal gland release massive doses of DMT when a person dies, or when a person nearly dies, which causes the mind to have near-death experiences, or causes the soul to return to source?
    7. What is the significance of the fact that the ancient Egyptian symbol, the Eye of Horus, strongly resembles the anatomy of the middle section of the brain and upper cortex, centering on the thalamus and the pineal gland?
    pineal thalamus
    8. Why is the pineal gland the only organ in the human body that calcifies and solidifies with age?
    9. If the pineal gland has little effect on consciousness, why is it that people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, diseases which cause them to be severely psychologically disconnected from the ‘real world,’ have pineal glands that are much more calcified than those of ordinary people?
    10. Why is it that following the methods of pineal gland decalcification and cleansing often bring genuine results to people who are seeking heightened spiritual experience, and why do these practices often result in people being able to more easily remember dreams and lead them to feel more connected to ‘source?’

    Conclusion

    There certainly is more to the human spiritual experience than just having a decalcified pineal gland, however, in our modern culture, which has grown spiritually bereft, the pineal gland holds special significance as people look for any possible technique or enhancement to the human body and mind that can assist them in re-connecting to divinity.
    Some of these questions are better suited for serious scientists and laboratory research, however, simply pondering the role that human anatomy plays in spiritual experience can expand our awareness of the connection between the health of the body and the health of the spirit.

    How Meditation Changes Your Brain-A Neuroscientist Explains

    Do you struggle, like me, with monkey-mind? Is your brain also a little unsettled, restless, capricious, whimsical, fanciful, inconstant, confused, indecisive, or uncontrollable? That’s the definition of “monkey mind”.
    http://themindunleashed.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/meditation-br.jpgA group of Harvard neuroscientists interested in mindfulness meditation have reported that brain structures change after only eight weeks of meditation practice.
    Sara Lazar, Ph.D., the study’s senior author, said in a press release,
    “Although the practice of meditation is associated with a sense of peacefulness and physical relaxation, practitioners have long claimed that meditation also provides cognitive and psychological benefits that persist throughout the day.”
    To test their idea the neuroscientists enrolled 16 people in an eight-week mindfulness-based stress reduction course. The course promised to improve participants’ mindfulness and well-being, and reduce their levels of stress.
    Everyone received audio recordings containing 45-minute guided mindfulness exercises (body scan, yoga, and sitting meditation) that they were instructed to practice daily at home. And to facilitate the integration of mindfulness into daily life, they were also taught to practice mindfulness informally in everyday activities such as eating, walking, washing the dishes, taking a shower, and so on. On average, the meditation group participants spent an average of 27 minutes a day practicing some form of mindfulness.
    beforeeMagnetic resonance images (MRI scans) of everyone’s brains were taken before and after they completed the meditation training, and a control group of people who didn’t do any mindfulness training also had their brains scanned.After completing the mindfulness course, all participants reported significant improvement in measures of mindfulness, such as “acting with awareness” and “non-judging.”
    What was startling was that the MRI scans showed that mindfulness groups increased gray matter concentration within the left hippocampus, the posterior cingulate cortex, the temporo-parietal junction, and the cerebellum. Brain regions involved in learning and memory, emotion regulation, sense of self, and perspective taking!

    Britta Hölzel, the lead author on the paper says,
    “It is fascinating to see the brain’s plasticity and that, by practicing meditation, we can play an active role in changing the brain and can increase our well-being and quality of life.”
    Sarah Lazar also noted,
    “This study demonstrates that changes in brain structure may underlie some of these reported improvements and that people are not just feeling better because they are spending time relaxing.”

    Spiritual Awakening Symptoms and signs.

    1.Activity at the crown of the head: Tingling, itching, prickly, crawling sensations along the scalp and/or down the spine. A sense of energy vibrating on top of the head, as if energy is erupting from the head in a shower. Also the sensation of energy pouring in through the crown, described as “sprinkles”. This may also be experienced as pressure on the crown, as if someone is pushing his/her finger into the center of your head. This secondary to downloads of energy through the crown. Sometimes  it is equated with hair stood on end of body was covered with goosebumps.
    Advice: This is nothing to be alarmed about. What you are experiencing is an opening of the crown chakra.
    2. Sudden waves of emotion.
    Crying or feeling suddenly angry or sad with little provocation,if not depressed or bipolar.Emotional roller coaster. There is often a pressure or sense of emotions congested in the heart chakra (the middle of the chest). This is not to be confused with the heart, which is located to the left of the heart chakra.
    Advice: Accept your feelings as they come up and let them go. Go directly to your heart chakra and feel the emotion. Expand it outward to your all your fields and breathe deeply from the belly all the way up to your upper chest. Just feel the feeling and let it evaporate on its own. Don’t direct the emotions at anyone. You are cleaning out your past. If you want some help with this, say out loud that you intend to release all these old issues and ask your Higher Power to help you. Be grateful that your body is releasing these emotions and not holding onto them inside where they can do harm.
    3. Old “stuff” seems to be coming up, as described above, and the people with whom you need to work it out (or their clones) appear in your life.
    Completion issues. Or perhaps you need to work through issues of self-worth, abundance, creativity, addictions, etc. The resources or people you need to help you move through these issues start to appear.
    Advice: Do not get too involved in analyzing these issues. Examining them too much will simply cycle you back through them over and over again at deeper and deeper levels. Do not try to avoid them or disassociate yourself from them. Embrace whatever comes up and thank it for helping you move ahead.Thank your Higher Power for giving you the opportunity to release these issues. Remember, you don’t want these issues to stay stuck in your body.
    4. Changes in weight.
    The weight gain or wt loss could happen.
    Advice: Don’t freak out,work slowly with exercise.Just accept it as a symptom of where you are right now. You will release/gain the weight when all your fears have been integrated. Release your anxiety about this. Enjoy how the food looks. Place your dominant hand over your heart and bless the food. Tell your body that you are going to use the food to richly nourish it, but that you are not going to use the food to fulfill your emotional hungers. Then pass your hand from left to right over the food and bless it. You may notice that the food feels warm to your hand even if the food is cold– I like to think that the food is good for me when it feels warm and nourishing to my hand. It is important not to let yourself off the hook when you forget to bless the food before you eat. If I’ve forgotten and I’ve nearly finished eating, I bless the food anyway.While eating — don’t watch TV or read.
    5. Amplification of the senses.Increased sensitivity.
    5A. Sight: Blurry vision, shimmering objects, seeing glittery particles, auras around people, plants, animals, and objects. Some report seeing formerly opaque objects as transparent. When you close your eyes, you no longer see darkness, but redness. You may also see geometric shapes or brilliant colors and pictures when eyes are closed. Colors appear more vivid — the sky might look teal orthe grass an amazing green. Often I see grids running across the ground. As you become more sensitive, you may see shapes or outlines in the air, especially when the room is almost dark. When your eyes are open or closed, you may see white shapes in your peripheral vision (these are your guides).
    Advice:Your vision is changing in many ways — you are experiencing new ways of seeing. Be patient. Whatever you do, do not be afraid.
    5B. Hearing: First make sure it is not due to disease called tinnitis(see ur Doctor first)Increased or decreased hearing. Other symptoms are hearing white noise in the head, beeps, tones, music or electronic patterns.Some hear water rushing, bees buzzing, whooshing, roaring or ringing. Others have what is called audio dyslexia– you can’t always make out what people are saying, as if you can no longer translate your own language. Some hear strange voices in their dreams, as if someone is hovering near them. You can either ask the presence(s) to leave.Again, there is nothing to fear.
    Advice: Surrender to it. Let it come through. Listen. Your ears are adjusting to new frequencies.
    5C. Enhanced senses of smell, touch, and/or taste. You might even smell the fragrance of flowers now and then. Many of the mystics did. Enjoy it.
    6. Changes in prayer or meditation.
    Not feeling the same sensations as before. Not having the same experience of being in contact with Spirit. Difficulty in focusing.
    Advice: You may be in more instant and constant communion with Spirit now and the sensation may therefore be altered. You will adapt to this new feeling. You are actually thinking and acting in partnership with Spirit most of the time now.You may find your meditation periods shorter.
    7. Power surges:
    All of a sudden you are heated from head to toe. It is a momentary sensation, but uncomfortable. In contrast, some people have felt inexplicably cold.If you are an energy worker, you may have noticed that the heat running through your hands has increased tremendously.This is good.
    Advice: If you are uncomfortable, ask your Higher Power, that if it be for your best and highest good, to turn down/up the temperature a bit.
    8. A range of physical manifestations:
    Headaches, backaches, neck pains, flu-like symptoms (this is called vibrational flu), digestive problems, muscular spasms or cramps, racing heartbeat, chest pains, changes in sexual desire, numbness or pain in the limbs, and involuntary vocalizations or bodily movements.
    Advice: Remember about seeking medical help if you need it! If you have determined that this is not a medical condition, relax in the realization that it is only temporary.
    9. Looking younger.
    10. Vivid dreams.
    Sometimes the dreams are so real that you wake up confused. You may even have lucid dreams in which you are in control. Many dreams may be mystical or carry messages for you. And in some dreams, you just know that you are not “dreaming” — that what is happening is somehow real.
    Advice: You will remember what is important for you to remember. Don’t force anything. Above all, stay out of fear.
    11. Events that completely alter your life:
    death, divorce, change in job status, loss of home, illness, and/or other catastrophes — sometimes several at once! Forces that cause you to slow down, simplify, change, re-examine who you are and what your life means to you. Forces that you cannot ignore. Forces that cause you release your attachments. Forces that awaken your sense of love and compassion for all.
    12. A desire to break free from restrictive patterns, life-draining jobs consumptive lifestyles, and toxic people or situations.
    You feel a compelling need to “find yourself” and your life purpose — now! You want to be creative and free to be who you really are. You might find yourself drawn to the arts and nature. You want to unclutter yourself from things and people that no longer serve you.
    Advice: Do it!
    13. Emotional and mental confusion:
    A feeling that you need to get your life straightened out–it feels like a mess. But at the same time you feel chaotic and unable to focus.
    Advice: Put your ear to your heart and your own discernment will follow.
    14. Introspection, solitude and loss of interest in more extroverted activities:
    15. Creativity bursts:
    Receiving images, ideas, music, and other creative inspirations at an often overwhelming rate.
    Advice: At least record these inspirations, for Spirit is speaking to you about how you might fulfill your purpose and contribute to the healing of the planet.
    16. A perception that time is accelerating.
    It seems that way because you have had so many changes introduced into your life at an unprecedented rate. The number of changes seems to be growing.
    Advice: Breaking your day up into appointments and time segments increases the sense of acceleration .You can slow time down by relaxing into the present moment and paying attention to what’s at hand, not anticipating what’s ahead. Slow down and tell yourself that you have plenty of time. Ask your Higher Power to help you. Keep your focus on the present. Try to flow from one activity to the next. Stay tuned to your inner guidance. You can also warp time by asking for it. Next time you feel rushed, say, “Time warp, please. I need some more time to —–.” Then relax.
    17. A sense of impendingness.
    There is a feeling that something is about to happen. This can create anxiety.
    Advice: There is nothing to worry about. Things are definitely happening.There is nothing to fear.
    18. Impatience.
    You know better, but sometimes you can’t help it. You want to get on with what seems to be coming your way. Uncertainty is not comfortable.
    Advice: Learn to live with the uncertainty. Impatience is really a lack of trust, especially trust in your Higher Power.When you focus on the present, you will experience miracles.
    19. A deep yearning for meaning, purpose, spiritual connection, and revelation.
    Perhaps an interest in the spiritual for the first time in your life. “Constant craving”.The material world cannot fulfill this longing.
    Advice: Follow your heart and the way will open up for you.
    20. A feeling that you are somehow different.
    A disquieting sense that everything in your life feels new and altered, that you have left your old self behind. You have. You are much greater than you can possibly imagine. There is more to come.
    21. “Teachers” appear everywhere with perfect timing to help you on your spiritual journey:In form of people, books, movies, events, Mother Nature, etc. Teachers may appear to be negative or positive when you are trapped in polarity thinking, but, from a transcendent perspective, they are always perfect. Just what you need to learn from and move on. By the way, we never get more than we are ready to master. Each challenge presents us with an opportunity to show our mastery in passing through it.
    22. You find a spiritual track that makes sense to you and “speaks to you” at the most profound levels.
    Suddenly you are gaining a perspective that you would never have considered before. You hunger to know more. You read, share with others, ask questions, and go inside to discover more about who you are and why you are here.
    23. You are moving through learning and personal issues at a rapid pace.
    You sense that you are “getting it” quite readily.
    Advice: Keep remembering that things will come to you when they are ready to be healed. Not sooner. Deal with whatever comes up with courage and you will move through the issues rapidly.
    24. Invisible presences.
    Here is the woo-woo stuff. Some people report feeling surrounded by beings at night or having the sensation of being touched or talked to. Often they will wake with a start. Some also feel their body orbed vibrate. The vibrations are caused by energetic changes after emotional clearing has taken place.
    Advice: This is a sensitive topic, but you may feel better blessing your bed and space around it before you sleep. I rest assured that you will be surrounded only by the most magnificent spiritual entities feel always safe in God’s care.
    25. Portents, visions, “illusions”, numbers, and symbols:
    Seeing things that have spiritual importance for you. Noticing how numbers appear synchronistically in your awareness. Everything has a message if you take the time to look.
    26. Increased integrity:
    You realize that it is time for you to seek and speak your truth. It suddenly seems important for you to become more authentic, more yourself. You may have to say “no” to people whom you have tried to please in the past. You may also find there is nowhere to hide, no secrets to keep anymore. Honesty becomes important in all your relationships.
    Advice: Listen to your heart. If your guidance tells you not to do something, speak up and take action. Say “no”. Likewise, you must also say “yes” to that which compels you. You must risk displeasing others without guilt in order to attain spiritual sovereignty.
    27. Harmony with seasons and cycles:
    You are becoming more tuned to the seasons, the phases of the moon and natural cycles. More awareness of your place in the natural world. A stronger connection to the earth.
    28. Electrical and mechanical malfunctions:
    When you are around, lightbulbs flicker, the computer locks up, or the radio goes haywire.
    Advice: Call on your angels, guides, or Grace Elohim to fix it or put up a field of protection of light around the machine.
    29. Increased synchronicity and many small miracles.
    Advice:Synchronistic events tell you if you are heading in the right direction or making the correct choices. Honor these clues and you cannot go astray. Spirit uses synchronicity to communicate to you. That’s when you begin to experience daily miracles.
    30. Increased intuitive abilities and altered states of consciousness:
    Thinking of someone and immediately hearing from them. More synchronicities. Having sudden insights about patterns or events from the past. Clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, and other psychic phenomena. Intensified sensitivity and knowing. Awareness of one’s essence and that of others. Channeling angelic and Christ-consciousness energies.
    31. Communication with Spirit.
    Contact with angels, spirit guides, and other divine entities. Channeling. More and more people seem to be given this opportunity. Feeling inspiration and downloading information that takes form as writing, painting, ideas, communications, dance, etc.
    33. A sense of Oneness with all.
    A direct experience of this Wholeness. Transcendent awareness. Being flooded with compassion and love for all life. Compassionate detachment or unconditional love for all is what lifts us up to higher levels of consciousness and joy.
    34. Moments of joy and bliss.
    A deep abiding sense of peace and knowing that you are never alone.
    35. Integration:
    You become emotionally, psychologically, physically, and spiritually stronger and clearer. You feel as if you are in alignment with your Higher Self.
    36. Living your purpose:
    You know you are finally doing what you came to earth for. New skills and gifts are emerging, especially healing ones. Your life/work experiences are now converging and starting to make sense.
    Advice: Listen to your heart. Your passion leads you to where you must go. Go within and ask your Higher Self, “What is it you would have me do?” Watch for synchronicities. Listen.
    37. Feeling closer to animals and plants.
    To some people, animals now seem to be more “human” in their behavior. Wild animals are less afraid. Plants respond to your love and attention more than ever. Some may even have messages for you.
    38. Seeing beings of other dimensions.
    The veil between dimensions is thinner, so it is not surprising. Just stay in your sovereignty. You are more powerful than you can ever imagine, so do not entertain fear. Ask your guides for help if you slip into fear.
    39. Seeing a person’s true form or seeing loved ones with a different face — past life or parallel life.
    40. Physically manifesting thoughts and desires more quickly and efficiently.
    Advice: Monitor your thoughts. All thoughts are prayers. Be careful what you ask for.
    41. Left-brain fogginess.
    Your psychic abilities, your intuitive knowing, your feeling and compassion, your ability to experience your body, your visioning, your expressiveness all emanate from the right brain. In order for this side of the brain to develop more fully, the left brain must shut down a little bit. Normally the left-hemisphere’s capacity for order, organization, structure, linear sequencing, analysis, evaluation, precision, focus, problem-solving, and mathematics dominate our often less-valued right brain. What results are memory lapses, placing words in the wrong sequence, inability or no desire to read for very long, inability to focus; forgetting what you are just about to say; impatience with linear forms of communication (audio or written formats); a feeling of spaciness, being scattered; losing interesting research or complex information; feeling bombarded with words and talk and information; and a reluctance to write. Sometimes you feel dull and have no interest in analysis, lively intellectual discussion, or investigation. On the other hand, you might find yourself drawn to the sensate: videos, magazines with photos, beautiful artwork, movies, music, sculpting, painting, being with people, dancing, gardening, walking, and other kinesthetic forms of expression. You may search for spiritual content, even science fiction.
    Advice: You may discover that if you allow your heart and your right brain to lead you, the left will then be activated appropriately to support you. And someday we will be well-balanced, using both hemispheres with mastery.
    42. Dizziness.
    This occurs when you are ungrounded. Perhaps you have just cleared a big emotional issue and your body is adjusting to your “lighter” state.
    Advice: Ground yourself by eating protein.Take your shoes off and put your feet in the grass for a couple of minutes.
    43. Heart palpitations.
    A racing heart usually accompanies a heart opening. It only lasts for a few moments and means that the heart is re-balancing itself after an emotional release. I had one episode that terrified me: I woke up in the middle of the night, my heart pounding. I thought it was going to come right out of my chest. It only happened once and was, I understand, a huge heart-chakra opening. But I did check it out. There is nothing wrong with my heart.
    Advice: Remember what I said about getting medical attention when needed. Consult your doctor about any conditions you are not comfortable with.
    44. Faster hair and nail growth.
    More protein is being used in the body. Too bad we can’t tell the body where to grow the hair and where not to grow it. (Or can we? Hmmm.)
    45. A desire to find your soulmate or twin flame.
    More than ever before, the idea that we can have a relationship that matches who we are seems more desirable.
    Advice: The truth is, we have to be the kind of person we want to attract. We have to love ourselves and where we are right now before we can attract a more “perfect” mate. The work begins at home. Here is how I think it works: Hold the desire for this person in your heart, but without attachment. Expect that someday you will meet someone who is more suited to you, but let go of any expectations as to who this will be and how it will happen. Focus instead on cleaning up your own life and being the kind of person you want to be. Be happy now. Enjoy your life. Then you may see…..
    46. Memories surface.
    Body memories, suppressed memories, images of past lives and/or parallel lives. We are healing and integrating all our “selves”, so expect to have some of these experiences.
    Advice. Keep in mind that it is best to recall what only what comes to mind, leave the rest alone,

    PURPOSE OF LIFE AND HOW TO MEDITATE- IN BHAGVAT GITA

    Photo: The purpose of living this human life is to practice truth, morality, justice, harmony and finally wisdom. An important step towards achieving wisdom is meditation to conquer the senses. "One who remains unshaken, who has conquered the senses to whom a lump of earth a stone and gold are the same is said to have attained Nirvikalp Samadhi (harmonised)," Almighty sermons in Bhagavat Gita, Ch 6 (atmasaMyanmyog) sloke no.8. 

Meditation is renouncing the thought and "No one verily becomes a Yogi who has not abandoned the thought", BG 6:2. Thee sermon further that "For the meditative pious, religious person, who wants to reach the highest state of Karm Yog, action is said to be the means. For the same person when he elevates in Yog, tranquility of mind is all the means of God consciousness." (BG 6:3).

We hear ways of meditation from preachers, practitioners and alikes and have seen the portrait/picture of those who achieved the wisdom viz Gautam Buddha, Mahavir, Sri Ramkrishna. Let us know what Almighty sermon on how the yog (meditation) is to be practiced. Almighty is our Creator (the whole universe) and His commandments (in Holy Scriptures) are the most authentic for His most intelligent creations on the face of this earth, the human beings. It is same as an engineer knows the best ways to maintain his created machines.

Please refer Bhagavat Gita 6:11, "In a clean place, having set the seat firm, neither very high nor very low.....". 

6:12, "Seated there on the seat, having made the mind one pointed with the activity of the senses and thought subdued, let practice Yog for self-purification."

6:13, "Let the body hold firmly, head and neck erect and still gazing at the tip of the nose, without looking around."

6:14, "Serene minded , fearless, firm in the vow of Brahmacharya, having controlled the mind, thinking on me (Supreme God) and balanced, let sit, having me as the Supreme Goal."

We are an assembly to discuss on Hinduism : SANATAN DHARM (in the light of Holy Scriptures) which are "....the testaments to decide of what should be done and what should not be done. After knowing the ordinances given in the Scriptures, you should act as accordingly." BG 16:23.

ALMIGHTY IS THE GREATEST. SELF ILLUMINATED AND GLORIOUS.
