Hundreds of devotees are sitting in
the hall. The notes of music and mellifluous
Bhajans are taking the hall into the magical loop. The entire
atmosphere transcends from real to ethereal. A lady sitting in the hall
suddenly yells and falls on the ground; she is dithering and wallowing.
From the other corner of the room there appears a white Kurta-payjama
clad middle aged oustached man on the scene with some innocuous,
electrifying and pious smile on his glowing face. He touches the
dithering lady from his fingers and the lady returns to normal. At
the same time on the other corner of the room a man starts jumping and
bumping, flinging his hands or thumping his chest and then bursting into
a loud guffaw. This time the man in white even does not move because
some of the semiconscious devotees are coiled around his legs and some
little ones
- not in there senses - are
agglutinated on his shoulders. But without moving an inch he dribbles
his fingers as if somebody were zapping a remote towards the
leapfrogging man and the man calms down. And bingo! What happens over
there? A dog sitting in the corner of the hall suddenly starts gnarling
its body its eyes are mysteriously closed and it too looks into a deep
trans. There is an infant in the hall too. It is in deep sleep. So what
is new in it? The strange is that the infant is not in sleep but in
trans as its fingers are in meditative gesture (chinmayi mudra).
In the mean while another woman yowls and completely aloof of the
atmosphere started dancing in delirium. Because of her asymmetrical
steps and outre gesticulations she is about to fall on the ground but
suddenly she stops and remains where she is. It looked as if she were a
lump of iron stopped by some magnetic rays of a powerful magnet. The
magnet indeed is the bright hued man - dabbing, wiggling and pointing
his fingers and hands in such a fashion as if some invisible strings
were tied up on his fingers and he is regulating, fashioning and guiding
us marionettes from distance. This majestic, effulgent and coruscating
Kurta-payjama clad middle-aged moustached man is none other than our
own Dr. Raghuvir Singh Gaur who has got the power to make the lion
behave like a poodle or make the hawk sing like a dove.
Now a pause is needed to
delve deep into the bizarre going on the hall. What the hell broke loose
in the hall? Why people like us, who are otherwise perfectly normal, are
behaving like this. Are they crazy? Are they moonstruck? Is something
driving them bonkers? The Doubting Thomases may carve the explanation
suitable to their choice. They may call it hypnotism and Dr. Gaur a
wizard. They may subscribe it mesmerism and Dr. Gaur a prestidigitator.
By stretching the same kind of logic some naysayer would call it
autosuggestion. But the reality lies somewhere else.
Before espousing the reality let us
shred apart these arguments first. The votaries of hypnotism and
mesmerism should know that mesmerism and hypnotism should be applied to
the entire audience or gentry in one simple go. After hypnotising or
mesmerising the audience when a magician converts a football into a
pigeon the entire audience sees it a pigeon. It is not the case that
some in the audience see it a pigeon whereas some other find it a rabbit
or something else. But the case of Dr. Gaur and his fellow devotees is
altogether different. Here each devotee has a different idea ,opinion
and action . so in no terms can this phenomenon be described as
mesmerism or hypnotism.
The supporters of the autosuggestion
should note this fact. Only the conscious and developed mind can
autosuggest itself. But is it possible for an infant of three four
months to autosuggest itself or is it possible for an animal to
autosuggest itself. The answer is a big negative. But in case of Dr.
Gaur even infants and animals transcend the state of worldly
consciousness and reach the unknown spheres of the mind. So the theory
of autosuggestion also does not hold water.
So what is that goes on
irresistibly with the followers of Dr. Gaur? In one plain simple word it
is real meditation. In spiritual parlance there is a place in human body
somewhere near the starting point of the spinal chord called Kundalini.
It is supposed that the vital life power (pran-shakti) of a human being
resides there and that too in a deep dogmatic slumber. A
spiritual Master with the help of Shaktipaat (release of his spiritual
potency ) vibrates the the equilibrium of kundalini. The pran-shakti
awakens and starts moving upwards. Its ultimate destination is Brahma-randhra
or Sahasrar where the ultimate consciousness or the Brahma or the God or
whatever you may call it resides. When the individual soul (jeeva)
reaches here there is a reunion and the part consumes in the whole; the
drop mixes in the ocean shedding all its individuality (boond samani
samund mein so kat heri jay) . The spiritual journey of the individual
consciousness (Jeeva ) comes to an end . The task of the Spiritual
Master is to help the ignorant individual being slough off his ignorance
and attain this ultimate reunion. Being a Spiritual Master (Sadguru) Dr.
Gaur does the same thing by his sheer proximity and the spiritual rays
that emanate from his body the kundalini of the follower gets vibrated.
The pran shakti starts moving upwards and the devotee starts doing
awkward actions (kriyayen) which are not easily fathomable. the devotee
does all these antics according to the sanskar (impressions) of the
innumerable past births. And when these action (Kriyayen) takes place
the sadguru evaporates, obliterates, effaces, and consumes them so that
so the devotee become devoid of these sanskaras and love of God can
replace the emptied place . The crux is that the extroversion of
consciousness gets an inward turn and the internal journey gets a
kick-start.
This is the real
raison d'etre of what is happening in the said hall or why the devotees
are making such tantrums. Neither is this mesmerism nor hypnotism nor
for that matter autosuggestion. It's a real meditation which Dr.Gaur
likes to call SUPRA MENTAL
MEDITATION (MANATEET DHYAN)
