Next to a small lake, nestled in the middle of farms, about 20 Kilometres on the outskirts of Bangalore’s city centre, is a serene community of meditators called Taponagara. The name itself means the city for Meditations. There are high-energy Meditation Halls like the Cosmic Tower, Kundalini Hall, RA Meditation Hall, etc in this abode of the Rishis. Each of these halls has Astral chambers underneath, wherein the Light Masters have anchored Pure Divine Energy from the Higher realms of existence; and they continue to add a variety of Energies of high-vibratory frequencies for human welfare. Taponagara is protected by an Energy zone called the Manasi Field. Taponagarites are trying to utilize these Energies and guidance from Guruji Krishnananda to build a Spiritual community.

The Residents meet once a month and have an interaction with Guruji. What started as a social gathering has evolved into an hour-long guidance session of Q&As with our Spiritual Master. The session ends with gifts and blessings from Guruji for those born in the respective month. This is followed by a community buffet dinner. This article captures the discussion during the Residents’ Meet of August 2012.

Ms. Shobha Rao, a senior Guide, thanked Guruji for teaching us a new meditational practise just a few days before this get-together, and also gave her feedback. “Namaste Guruji. The new technique of the Sun is very nice; I felt a lot of well-being. Since this practise purifies our Mind, does it also burn our Karmas?”

“It mainly purifies us and while purification it may also burn Karmas along the way. In the Sunday Class, I could not explain all the benefits of this powerful meditational technique, but I can easily list out at least twenty known ones. Let me emphasize that benefits come quick and become obvious only when we regularly practise over longer periods of time.”

Mr. Swaminathan, who organizes the Residents’ Meet and is a member of the RA Group of meditators, had a follow-up question. Before we proceed, let me share something about the RA Group. In 2009, a powerful Energy called RA was brought down from a Higher realm of existence and anchored in Antar-Manasa, about a kilometre from Taponagara. This Energy is similar to the Great RA Energy mentioned in the Egyptian times. Unique RA meditational techniques are taught to those who qualify for the RA Group; qualification means meditating consistently for three hours a day for five days a week over three months, without a break. RA Group meets every two months and to attend every session, the initial qualifier conditions apply.

Coming back to the follow-up question - “Guruji, I am in the RA Group, should we practise the new technique above and beyond the three hours of practices?”

Guruji clarified that they can finish all practices within the specified three hours.

The beauty of a Spiritual Community of meditators is that one person’s mystical experience is felt as an echo within many; it is hard to explain but, somewhere and somehow, it becomes a collective experience. Ms. Rakhee Chopra, like many other resident meditators, is sensitive to subtle energies. She shared one of her many mystical experiences.

“Namaste Guruji. I want to share an experience. Few months back, I was walking my dog in the evening; while it was busy sniffing a bush nearby, a group of chirping birds returning to their nests caught my attention. As I watched them, suddenly, I felt a connection between me and the birds. Then everything turned into light; I felt expansion of awareness and then I was blank. I don’t know for how many minutes I was standing there. I lost awareness of the surroundings. My dog yanked me out of this state as he wanted to well, walk!

“For a few minutes I could not understand what had just happened. Even as I could see things normally, I could see Light everywhere as well; even the sky was full of Light. Whenever I have experienced Light before, I have noticed that the awareness of the surroundings is not lost even as we experience. But for the first time, I experienced blankness; as I stood there, I did not know where I had been. Guruji, please help me understand what happened.”

While listening to Rakhee, I was watching Guruji’s expression; it looked like he was verifying her experiences with his direct perception. He then said, “At this level, you are not supposed to be aware of what you experienced during that blankness. That experience of vastness was so great, if you could recall it you will lose all interest in your life in this world. Those who go deep into such experiences often prefer to leave their bodies and pass over. That’s why, you see, such experiences are blocked and that explains the blankness.”

“On Amara Mahasamadhi Day,” Rakhee continued, “when we practised the Oneness technique, after offering respects, I felt one with everything and I felt like I was in a different dimension which was full of pure silence. I wanted to experience it continuously, but I had things to attend to, I cannot express how peaceful that place is....”

“....just make a note and if you find any particular experience as very important, write to me.” Guruji replied.

Mr. Manoj Chopra, Rakhee’s husband, shared his experience after practising the Unmanifest or Chidakasha technique. “Namaste Guruji. I have practised the Unmanifest Energy meditational technique a few times and I felt a Universe inside me. It is too expanded and, generally we see Light and feel expansion, but strangely, I saw dark space. I am not able to understand this Guruji.”

Pleased at what his disciple had found out, Guruji smiled, raised his eyebrows and said, “That dark space is the Unmanifest aspect of God. As I have mentioned before, right inside us, there are points of connection to the entire Universe. You can connect to any part of the Universe from right inside you; you could delve inside and get connected to Andromeda Galaxy or any part of the Universe.”

Pausing for a moment for this incredible reality to sink into our noisy conscious minds, Guruji showed us a key to unravel many other mysteries - “Well, there are several advanced meditational techniques to access different parts of the Universe. Even though these are right within us, we cannot easily utilize them.”

As if to avoid any remote chance of being asked about the secrets, Guruji immediately switched to the next point – “Note that we usually associate darkness and space with negativity, but it is not so. The intergalactic space is also dark, it is unmanifested, that’s all.”

“That’s why I felt very comfortable and good when I experienced the dark space.....” “....yes, simply because we all come from that space; that is our Source or God. Contemplate on this point when you are alone. With God, quite naturally, we are always comfortable.”

Manoj signed off with appreciating the Unmanifest Energy technique, “I keep checking the time while practising because I want to finish within three minutes. It is a very powerful technique. Thanks a lot for teaching us.”

“Thank the Rishis” Guruji said, passing on all credit to the Light Masters as always.

‘Pyramid Revelations’ – A book written by Ms. Abhilashitha Vinay, was launched in August 2012. Like every book ever released by the Rishis through Guruji, this one was also energized. It is interesting that even the re-prints and editions to be published carry these amazing energies. When anybody, anywhere reads the content the energies help assimilation of knowledge. If the reader does not completely comprehend the concepts, then the energies sink in deeper into his or her consciousness and surfaces as thought flashes whenever they are in a state of readiness. The surfacing of knowledge from within is a very fascinating phenomenon, it is the moment when something already known as information “clicks” in our heads and suddenly becomes knowledge.

Coming back to the book on Pyramids, after reading the book many meditators had past life recalls from their Egyptian lifetimes while some had surreal experiences. Mr. Gururaj Kanade, who has a keen interest in metaphysical matters, appreciated the book and started a conversation with Guruji which brought forth many new knowledge points.

“This is regarding the book Pyramid Revelations. The very first thought that occurred to me when I was reading was that I had read quite a lot of Dolores Cannon’s books earlier, and I somehow felt there was a reason why I read those books; suddenly many dots got connected; I cannot really explain but that’s the kind of feeling I got. Secondly, there is a lot of information about Thoth Hermes all over the internet and he is portrayed as the scribe of God; this book brings clarity. The third, it is believed that pyramids are most effective when angled at fifty one degrees and fifty two minutes. Personally, I always felt that this angle would be best for certain purposes only; this book clearly tells us that as long as a pyramid is a tetrahedron, it is fine, irrespective of the angle.”

“People who have studied pyramids have said that the angle should be accurate, otherwise, there will be bad effects. This is not correct and there are proofs. People see only that which is in front of their eyes not beyond that. Generally, even in life, we do this. You see, even temple gopuras (ornate large entrances) are pyramids with a variety of angles. Each pyramid or each group of pyramids, has different functions and that is why certain angles were chosen. However, the angle is not of paramount importance.”

There are many periods of human civilization which have not made it to the chronicles of recorded history. Guruji gave us new insight into a time when pyramids were widespread, he said, “There was a time when there were many pyramids everywhere. There was, one can say, a pyramid civilization all over the world, not only in Egypt. Pyramids were used for various reasons like entry points to other dimensions, as storehouses of knowledge, healing energies. Knowledge of all types like sciences, music, etc was stored in the form of energies. In the course of time the pyramids were destroyed.”

A sense of loss could be seen in Guruji’s expression. Technical knowhow and energies which could have helped generations stay advanced were lost to the insanity humanity allowed. With a sense of amusement Guruji said, “Internet is brimming over with so much of noise about the pyramids. Some have good intentions, but with most there is a tendency to coin new words, and say things just to attract people. During the Study Centre meetings, once Vishwamitra Maharshi had mentioned that about 98% of “knowledge” on the internet is speculative.”

Switching mood with a sense of renewed hope he continued, “Anyway, when we cross December 2012, suddenly we will become aware of the faculty of direct perception of Truth, which is in us even now. We will be able to grasp knowledge directly. The Rishis gave some information in the book Pyramid Revelations to see the response; there is much more. Try reading this book slowly; pick up a point and go on contemplating, you might receive new information on the subject and even on Creation.”

The thirst for knowledge is such that waiting for our higher faculties to operate seems like a lot so Gururaj asked some more questions based on what he had read and his contemplation points. I personally feel that seeking to know more about the mechanics of the Universe is a kind of appreciation for God’s Creation; it is a form of worship.

“Guruji, I wanted to know about Thoth Hermes, Pythagoras and Leonardo Pisano. There is a lot of mention about them whenever we read about pyramids and the sacred geometry. I wanted to understand whether Thoth actually took birth or did he reincarnate as these different personalities to continue the knowledge work?”

Guruji is always in link with the highly evolved Spiritual Masters in the higher realms. He receives information from them as well as other sources with his advanced capacities of direct perception. “They are different personalities,” Guruji replied, “But, they worked with a common source of knowledge. They did not meet at any time, yet, they had the access to the common source. And somehow, strangely, worked on a similar subject and hence we find similarities in the knowledge that they have brought down.”

“What is the significance of the golden proportion? They talk quite a lot about it in the context of sacred geometry?”

“It contains the secrets of Creation. We are yet to know and explore. Maybe here afterwards, when men become gentlemen and grow, we will understand these things.”

“Dr. Abdul from Egypt has done some research work on what he calls bio-geometry. Using geometric shapes, he says, a lot of applications are possible. One important thing is healing, second thing is about trying to balance the energy in different fields. What he has done is, based on the energy flow, he has drawn many shapes which he calls bio-signatures. And these could be used to remove imbalances in our system. In fact, while reading this information, I had a thought; some time back I had watched a documentary about Amazonian tribal people who tattooed their bodies with very funny shapes like this. Possibly they had this knowledge and they tattooed to balanced their energies and receive healing.”

“You are absolutely right. These geometrical shapes have very powerful impact. We are yet to understand. For example, healing energies, we just channel or send the energies; however you can mentally create a particular geometric form, fill up with energies and send it. The healing that occurs will be tenfold faster. There are, I would say, hundreds of geometric forms which can be used in this way” Guruji answered.

“Such knowhow was kept away from humanity to keep it from being abused for selfish and destructive purposes. People are not Spiritually ready to receive advanced technologies from the Light Masters. Spirituality is just being simple, good, honest and peaceful. It is sad that humanity is not ready for higher things.”

The sense-of-loss look was back on Guruji’s face; he is very sensitive to humanity’s loss of opportunity because he witnesses human suffering from the vantage point of the higher Astral realms. He knows more than most that this suffering can be removed by simply choosing Light.

“Anyway, coming back to the point of geometric symbols, a long term patient lying in bed can be made to walk instantaneously.” The renewed-hope look was back. That’s the beauty of being with Guruji, and hence the Rishis, they are a perennial source of hope and strength. “I know a Greek Light Worker who used these geometric symbols but he deliberately never spoke about them. In the New Age, we will witness a million possibilities for generating energy, for improving weather condition, even for creating things and not just healing.”

With an assuring smile he continued, “In the New Age, there will be not a single person with a deformed body. Physical deformation comes from the deformations in the mind. This is a very interesting truth. When we see deformed beggars on the streets we feel sorry for them; we can always blame them for their past-life Karmas which led them to this situation, but we have to feel compassionate towards everybody.”

On a serious note he said, “Rishis say, if you wish to harm or even think of harming a person in the mind, that’s enough, in the next lifetime you will have a deformed body for the entire life period. So, imagine what our mind and intellect can do; that’s why we say, always carry Light, always carry love. When you have love, you see, love will get you anything.

“In the New Age, we will know things all by ourselves, we will not need anyone to teach us these things. There will be a sudden explosion of awareness and everyone will know. When we choose only positive and loving things we will become Light bodies automatically. It will not happen by mechanically practising meditational techniques. Just by repeating a mantra you will not become a Light body; only Love can make it happen.”

“This is quite fascinating,” Gururaj said, still taking in all that Guruji had taught.

“I don’t blame anyone, but it has been my observation that people spend too much of their time on the insignificant small mundane matters of life. Every bit in life is important, no doubt, but spend some time looking beyond the routine. There are many worlds waiting to be known and waiting to help us. Luckily we are approaching times when we will be able to achieve this.”

“Guruji, there are a couple of more clarifications in the same context, can I go ahead?”

“Sure.”

“Guruji, they say that some of these geometric shapes are related to elements like water, fire, etc the Pancha-tatvas (the five principles of matter). How much truth is in that?”

“I don’t think so. I intuitively feel that we need not relate.”

“Okay Guruji. There is another thing, in the context of bio-geometry where Dr. Abdul has come out with specific energy flows in the diagrams, if we understand some of our work in New Age Realities where we talk about the fundamental energy, basic energy structure, toroids, etc, if we use the flower of life would that be better than using the very specific diagrams or geometric shapes?”

“We have to thoroughly understand this more before we begin using anything. In the meanwhile, grow spiritually. Goodness is essential, otherwise we will not survive in the New Age. Without Spiritual maturity, knowledge gets abused. Once we grow sufficiently, we will not use such knowledge for personal benefits but for Universal welfare. Being good alone is not enough; because the earth is entering the New Age we have to think in terms of the world at large. Feel for the world, humanity’s pain and trials should be our concern. Let us start with our neighbours to begin with, it is then we will enter the New Age.

“If you cannot help someone, send Light and Love. Spread Love,” pausing so that his instruction gets clearly registered in each one of us, Guruji continued, “Knowledge will be given proportionately to our Spiritual growth. The knowledge of atom bombs did not do any good to the world.”

He gave us a word of caution – “Even though the dark forces are getting weaker, we have to be careful. Do not allow any negative thought to enter you. The decisive time has come, in these few months, we can become Gods or we can become demons. I cannot forget Vishwamitra Maharshi’s words – ‘Change or perish.’ The time has come for us to change. We have to, because the whole planet is entering into the New Age, new consciousness is entering in all things.”

“There are one or two technical queries. But I think I will hold them for now. Thank you Guruji.” Gururaj signed off.

Ms. Sujatha with her beautiful smile which she always adorns, was eagerly waiting her turn. “Namaste Guruji. I read the book Pyramid Revelations; a very good book indeed. After a reading a just a few pages, I felt heaviness and very, very sleepy. The next day I was still sleepy, I managed to cook and again slept. In my dreams I felt I was lost in a pyramid; is there any connection?”

“Usually when we absorb more energy, we feel sleepy. That’s what happened to you” Guruji answered.

“Guruji, I wanted to understand, just as the Dwarapalakas (keepers of the entrances) protect the Cosmic Tower here, do Astral Beings protect the Giza pyramid?”

“The Cosmic Tower is protected by a special Guard. There is a passageway to another dimension from the Cosmic Tower, as we have mentioned in the book, which is protected by this Guard. There are no Dwarapalakas here, there are Ashtadikpalakas (deities of the eight Cosmic directions). Their job is to hold the energy that’s all and not allow other destructive energies, negative energies to enter. Every house or structure can have the Ashtadikpalakas holding the energy. The special Guard is a different being.”

The fact that only the Cosmic Tower and the Giza Pyramid have passages to other dimensions makes Taponagara a very special place.

Ms. Archana, who is also very sensitive to subtle energies, shared her experience after reading the book. “Namaste Guruji, let me first congratulate Abhilashitha for having accomplished writing this book. Everything about the book is very good, the printing, the cover page, etc. Even as I was glancing some paragraphs I could feel a lot of energies contained in the book.

“While reading, I felt sleepy; so I just held the book and went into a state of deep sleep. Then I saw a pyramid, though the door was not visible I knew there was one. I went inside and saw a very bright golden yellow light. There was a person who wanted to check if anybody had gone inside; I did not want him to see me, so as soon as the door opened on the inside I went behind it and turned into an invisible white light. And then, I just opened my eyes and could not get connected to the pyramid again. It was a nice experience, I felt very good.”

“Yes, it is a very important book even though it is small. Abhilashitha has worked on the subject for two years. I asked her to visit the Giza pyramid Astrally, pray to the pyramid and wait to receive answers. Pyramid has a personality. He began giving her lot of information. Several Masters were also involved; a Master from Sirius and our Rishis also gave a lot of information. We have presented only ten percent of all the knowledge received by us. The rest needs further verification; unfortunately we do not have enough time as there are other projects to focus on with the dawn of the Light Age. But if possible we might come up with another book.

“There is a lot of information and misinformation about the pyramids in other books and on the internet. In Pyramid Revelations, we did not want to repeat any existing information. We could have added many pages but we thought it would be appropriate to only present new information. It is easy to add pages but we decided to keep the book as small as possible.”

Many others meditators have also mentioned that they had visions and energy experiences after reading the book.

Mr. Arjun Scindia and his family are building a house in Taponagara and it has reached near completion. They thanked Guruji for all the blessings and also appreciated all the love and affection they received from Taponagarites.

“Taponagara is like that, it is full of love and opportunities for Spiritual growth. You are welcome.”

With this the session ended, the kids came rushing into the dining hall, where we were all seated, birthday cake was cut and gifts were distributed. Over buffet dinner, everyone was deeply engrossed discussing everyday matters as kids were busy playing around. Some were exchanging their contemplation on metaphysical matters. The ladies of Taponagara always take these monthly get-togethers as an opportunity to wear their best outfits and jewelry, and they love to exchange notes on the best place to shop. The very meditators who have exalted mystical experiences can also discuss the latest of trends. Meditators follow Guruji’s teaching of balancing their material and Spiritual lives. Taponagarites always love to come together and chat; every gathering has a festive connotation.
