Brahmandopanishad is an important Upananishad….important because for the first time, this Upanishad has been able to mention the aspect of life, it has been able to answer all the complex queries related to a human’s life. This Upanishad has mentioned that life is not what we have perceived it till now. Life is not the time duration spent in between the two ends, one end of whose is tied to birth and the other end being tied to death.
We have considered life only for this duration because of lack of our knowledge. We think that our life begins from the moment we take birth and ends at the time when we die. However this definition of life is not correct, it is incomplete. Period between birth and death is not complete duration of life; it is a part of our complete life.
We would have existed even before this birth, may be on this earth or on some place, some other planet. It is true that body is confined by time, but life is far away from that. We had our presence even before this birth and we will continue to be here even after we die. It is our misfortune that we forgot our last life or if we don’t have the capability to look back into the past life. Consider there is a long rope tied many kilometers apart and it passes from one of your rooms. The way you can just see a portion of a long rope crossing the room, similarly we are seeing our life like that, because we don’t have the capability to look beyond our apartment and this is the tragedy of our life.
The Shastras have mentioned that this soul is indestructible. Body is just like a piece of cloth for the soul. The way we dump an old and torn cloth, similar to that, the soul leaves the body when the body gets sick and old, when it gets full of diseases. The soul again takes control of the new body, the way it used to control the old one. The thought process, our intentions affect our new life when we take birth. Similar to that, last life’s memories, pains, sufferings also get attached to this life.
This is our misfortune that we are unable to recall any of our last life memories. Due to this reason we start to consider the present life as the one which is significant and forget about our last life. If we wish to understand the life, if we wish to solve the puzzles of life, we will have to understand our previous lives because our current life is a part of our last life and not only the last life; our present life is a part of all the lives that we have taken till now.
It is a truth that the miseries, pain, diseases of the present life have a direct impact of our last birth deeds. The husband or wife of our present life must have had some relationship with us in the last birth also. Our son, wife, daughter, friends or enemies all were related to us in some or other way. It is our deeds towards them in the last life which gives us pleasant or venomous relationships in the current life.
It is a possibility that the husband or wife in your present life might not be your husband or wife in the last life. May be they were your enemies in the last life. It is possible that your present life wife may be one of your acquaintances of your last life and you would have betrayed her, you would have harmed her and ruined her life. She would have wished to take revenge, however due to some reasons she couldn’t do so and couldn’t harm you. And the same lady had now taken a birth in the form of your wife to take revenge. The chaos that you have in your life, tensions due to your wife, quarrels, daily chit-chats may be due to that reason only and she is avenging herself for your deeds.
Present life relationship between husband and wife can only be understood by looking into the past life. If we stop for a moment and think that why even after so many years of marriage, there is no love between both of us? Why is it that we feel irritated the moment we see each other? Why there is no love in our life? Why there are so many misunderstandings, quarrels and tensions in our life? Why we hate and doubt each other?
Instead we feel attracted towards a person who lives far away from our place. Even though we don’t have a social relationship as husband and wife, within our heart we consider him as our husband, we love him secretly. Why does it feels like that he is the right person and I can spend a happy life with him? Why is it so that whenever I meet him, it feels heavenly? Why I wish to be with him? Why does he keep on appearing in front of my eyes and in my thoughts? Why is it so? Looking at the current life, there is no reason that I should get attracted towards him or her. Still why is it that I feel attracted towards him, why there is a feeling of love for him, why is it so?
The reason for all these queries lies in the last life. The one who always appears in our thought, the one who attracts me, one who always remains in my thought may be my last life’s lover or my husband. This is a different story that in the current life he is not my husband, but that’s a game of body but not a game of soul and life. Soul or life will consider that person as husband or wife who was our husband or wife in last life. Body and society will say that it is wrong but soul will say that it is correct. Body and society will say such a thought process is not good as per the society and this body is tied to the society. However the soul is not confined by the society. This society will say that you should not love someone who is not your husband or your wife however the life is attached with that person only whom we loved and it will always remain attached with that person only. We can’t forget that person even if we try to do so, his thought keeps on appearing before us, he keeps on appearing in front of our eyes.
Society’s clauses do come in between, they do try to stop us but they can’t stop the feelings of the heart. Due to this reason we have pain in our heart, due to this reason there is no harmony in husband and wife relationship, due to this reason there is an attraction towards some other person. Due to this reason there is no love in the social relationships, may it be husband, wife, son or any other relation. Due to this reason, we get betrayed by the person whom we trusted. This is because we might have betrayed him in the last life and he betrayed in the current life to make things even.
Due to this reason sons disobey their parent, they go onto wrong path even though we give our best to bring them up with good qualities. All these things are so complex that they can’t be solved by just looking into the current life. We can’t make out why there are so many tensions in between husband and wife. Why we don’t trust each other? Why we are poor even after so much hard work we put into? Why we are always sick? Why don’t we get success in Sadhanas…..and why is there a sense of affection towards other person? Why do we feel delighted after meeting that person? Why he always remain in our thoughts?
All these relations are of current life, but these questions can become easy to answer if we look into our last life. Then we will be able to make out what were the circumstances in our last life, then we will be able to make out that this person is not my husband, I didn’t have any such relationship with him in the last life. To solve this mystery, we need to find that Sadhana which can enable us to look into our past life.
Soul is more valuable than this body and due to this reason we can’t neglect our past life. Till the time we don’t revive those relationships, we won’t be able to feel true joy in our life and we don’t get the elixir of joy in our life, such a life is worthless. Now the question that arises is that what are the mechanisms by which we can look into our last life?
Where we took birth? Where was our home? How did we grow up? To whom did we marry? How were we related to everyone around us in our past life? How did we live our last life? Where and under what circumstances we died due to which we have to take a new birth? It is necessary to combine the last life with the current life. Then only it will be possible for us to resolve this issue of the current life. If we don’t do so, many such issues will continue to come in front of us that will keep torturing us.
Why is it that a religious man remains poor even after having so much devotion towards God and instead a bad man who is doing all the bad deeds is so rich and famous? What is the reason that we always remain ill? Why did I have to suffer from such a huge loss in my business? What is the reason that our son died in front of us or why there is no love in between husband and wife? What is the reason that we are still poor even after putting so much hard work in our field of work? How were we related to our Guru in the last life? Why is there so much of attachment even though we are so much far away from one another? Why do we consider him as a friend or someone very close to our heart? Why do we feel divine when we sit near to him?
All these questions are related to our past life and till the time we don’t look into our last life, we will not be able to resolve queries related to it. There is a possibility that you would have existed in the last birth also. It is also true that you were a part of the Dwaapar Yuga and it is also true that you are a witness of the Mahabharata war. You had some relationship with Lord Krishna, you have seen him, may be as a friend or a foe. Even this is possible that you might have lived in Gokul or Vrindavan, you might have listened Him playing flute, you might have walked along with him on the banks of river Yamuna, you might have felt his closeness.
The point that arises here is we should have the capability to see all this. There no doubt that you existed at the time of Dwapar Yuga, even at the time of Krishna, at the time of Shankaracharya, Gorakhnath, Buddha and even at the time of Mahavir. However it is important to understand that you were in which form, where were you at that time.
If you understand this, you will be able to see Krishna playing the flute even in this life and then you will wonder that the form that we have seen in the picture is in a different form now and we are related to Him in this life also. In other words, you have a relationship with in this life also. There is just a transformation in the form of Shankaracharya, he might be in the form of an ascetic in that life and now he might be leading a householder’s life or in some other form. The tragedy is that your eyes don’t have the capability to recognize that person, the capability by which you can look into your last life, the capability by which you can distinguish Shankaracharya, Buddha, Krishna because they are in a slight different form in the present life.
This can be possible if you can be handed over a means by which you can look into your past life and not just only past life but several past lives and then correlate them to the present life. And then only your current life will become joyous, then only you will get more attracted towards Krishna, then only you will feel that your life is being spent in the holy feet of such a Divine incarnation.
It may not happen that while the Divine incarnation is here with us, we don’t recognize him and spend our life in useless stuffs and remains away from the elixir of joy which is the aim of this life. Once you get such a fortune, then the coming life will be in your control and you will have harmonious relationship with Him. He has to incarnate again and again and even you have to take birth again and again. However this relationship should remain harmonious and we should not get detached from Him. This is the essence of life and soul and it is necessary to understand this in life.
We can witness our past life by two means – first is by means of our Guru. Whenever we sit in the Holy feet of the Guru, who is himself capable to seeing His as well as other’s past lives, we should get his blessings and ask about our previous lives like where was I born and grew up in my past life?
How are all the men and women who are related to me in the current life were related to me in the previous life and the Guru will help to resolve these queries one after the other…..and he will definitely help because it is his wish that you become capable in life. Then the Guru will be able to tell you about your past several lives because he has been the witness of your all the past lives.
And He will tell you how you were related to these people in the past life and how were your relationships and then you can go to that place and inquire about that. If he tells you that you were born at such place, you grew there, then you married that woman and then you spent your life like that. You can then go to that place and check how much accurately He has told about your past life and then you will be able to see your past.
Not only will your last life, Guru may help you to witness your many past lives. This is a thrill, this is an adventure that you can witness all your past lives. You will be able to see how the people were related to you, how you spent your last life, what is the impact of those people on your current life. Then you will be able to understand with whom you need to build your relationship.
The second way is performing Brahmanda Sadhana. If we achieve success in this Sadhana, we can witness our past several lives. However this Sadhana can only be accomplished by SadGuru because it is mentioned in Brahmandopanishad that whenever a man or a woman is desirous of performing this Sadhana, he or she should request to his Guru about giving Brahmanda Diksha and get the authority to perform this Sadhana. Once obtaining this Diksha, that person can perform Brahmanda Sadhana.
This is a 21 day Sadhana. Keep Brahmanda Yantra in front of you and then energize each part of your body with Urdhgaami Mantra. Only Guru can teach you about the mystery of this Mantra.
The way we can see and understand the movie clearly on a television, we can similarly see our past life by means of this Sadhana. We can see how the people around me were related to me in the past life, how can I improve my current life and then only we will be able to enjoy our current life.
If we want to solve the mysteries of our life, if we want to understand the essence of our life, then it is a must to perform the Brahmanda Sadhana, because this is the backbone of all the Sadhanas. When a great Guru is there in front of us who possesses the knowledge of Brahmanda Sadhana, who can give Brahmanda Diksha, who is capable of energizing the complete universe in our body, then we should get his Sadhana without wasting a single moment in our life.
I bless you all that may you be able to obtain Brahmanda Sadhana and Brahmanda Diksha in your life, may you be able to witness all your past lives and understand the essence of the life, may you achieve the greatness in life. I bless you all once again from the depth of my heart.
