Pranahuti Aided Meditation

Pranahuti, or transmission of superfine thought, is a unique feature of the system of Rajayoga of Sri Ramchandra ji Maharaj of Shahjahanpur, U.P India. This is supposed to make the task of the aspirant easier. The Master says that without the help of Pranahuti it will be difficult, if not impossible, to reach higher stages of sadhana.

The word Pranahuti is derived from the words Prana and Ahuti. Ahuti is offering particularly in sacrifice during religious ceremonies. Prana means life or life force. The nature of Prana is expounded in the Vedic and Upanishad literature, particularly the Kaushitaki Upanishad (3-2) where it is stated Sahovaacha Praanosmi (He said I am Life) and Kena Upanishad (2) where it was stated as Praanasya Praanah (The Life of all lives) and Praanosmi Mam upaasva (Adore Me who am Life). Thus we find the nature of the Ultimate is of the nature of Prana. Prana is of the nature of pure thought and that is what makes human beings important in the scheme of Divinity in as much as he shares the nature of original stir in a way that no other being, animal or devas etc., is capable of is now fairly established. That human life has been regarded, as most fortunate is no new concept for any religion but the main reason why it is so, is what is established by Rev. Babuji.

Standard Meditational Practices

MORNING MEDITATION

Sit in meditation for an hour thinking that Divine light without luminosity is present in your heart. Do it in quite a simple and natural way without forcing your mind. Never mind if you do not see the light there. Start with a mere supposition so to say, and sit meditating in one posture with your attention turned towards the heart in a natural way without any effort to concentrate. Try to be unmindful of the thoughts arising at that time.

Meditation on Points A and B

Location:

From the left nipple measure two finger width straight towards the right. Then proceed straight downwards upto three finger width. This is the position of point A Further on proceed two finger width more in the same downward direction. This is the point B.

Note: Measurement is to be made with one's own fingers.

Meditation on point 'A':

Fix your attention on the point and think that all men and women of the world are your brothers and sisters. Do this before going to bed for not more than 10 minutes This meditation is highly effective for checking the indulgences of the mind and the improprieties of conduct. Generally ladies do not need of this meditation for they are comparatively free from restless tendencies.

But if any of them is a victim to it, the process should be advised to her with following modification. She should think all the Divine gifts are available to her and that every man and woman of the world think each other to be brother and sister and she is also with them in this respect.

Meditation on point 'B':

Imagine all your impurities and grossness to be going out from the point towards the front side and from behind it, the glow of the Atman is coming to view. Do this for not more than 10 minutes before commencing your daily practice of meditation.

Note:- The two meditations on point A and B, as given above are very useful in curing the disturbed tendencies of mind. Since this disturbed condition of mind exists in majority of cases, the two meditations are advised to all the aspirants.

EVENING CLEANING

Sit for half an hour with a suggestion to yourself that all complexities and impurities including grossness, darkness, etc., are going out of the whole system through the backside in the form of smoke or vapour. Do not meditate on those things which we want to get rid off. Simply brush them off.

PRAYER

     "O,Master!
     Thou art the real goal of human life.
     We are yet but slaves of wishes
     Putting bar to our advancement.
     Thou art the only God and power
     To bring us up to that stage.

Just before going to bed at night, offer prayer. The proper and the most effective method of prayer is to sit in a supplicant mood and repeat the same mentally twice or thrice. Then begin to meditate over its true sense and try to get lost into it.

9 p.m. PRAYER

Everyone should meditate for about 15 minutes at 9 p.m. sharp every night regularly thinking that all the men and women in this world are one 's brethren and true love, devotion and faith for the Master is developing in all.
