In order to study the smallest of sub-atomic particles, humanity has built the largest of machines like the particle accelerators. One wonders, how large a research laboratory would be required to unravel the metaphysical underpinnings of Nature. The ancient Spiritual Masters, also called Rishis, were Scientists in the truest sense. They explored the tangible (Material), as well as the intangible (Spiritual) aspects of Creation. Only since the Medieval times, when religion overshadowed Spirituality, did Science and Spirituality part ways. Until the actual dawn of the Light Age, getting them together is a near-impossible task. Fortunately, there is a sizable population which pursues metaphysics.

Our Study Centre books like New Age Realities, Awareness, Higher Communication and other Realities, etc present some of what we have understood so far from the Rishis through Guruji Krishnananda; this article presents our continuous quest to grasp more, one question at a time.

I had once asked Guruji about the co-relation between global weather and human consciousness. Does agitation in the collective human consciousness result in extreme weather? Could the erratic and disturbed weather pattern be a reflection of all the pain and suffering generated by humanity?

Guruji answered in an absolute affirmative, “Yes. It is directly proportional.” The simplicity and brevity in his response could not express its magnitude, but his intense expression did.

There is an increased frequency of natural calamities these days. We associate destruction with only loss of life and resources but we were shocked when Guruji told us that there are benefits too!

“Whenever there are earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, etc along with the forces of destruction, creative forces are released as well,” Guruji said. And while we were still reeling from what we had just heard he continued, “Several kinds of energies are released along with destructive and creative ones, there’s also a third kind which can be understood as purifying energies. Much more happens than what we understand. Some of the released energies are unusual; these are gathered and stored by the Rishis for usage at appropriate times.”

Answering a question from Mr. Jayant Deshpande, Guruji told us that some earthquake energies are spread all over the earth and are not confined to one place. Long time back Guruji had given us a glimpse into the projects of the Rishis when he told us that they store some rare energies from eclipses and other astronomical events like Solar flares as well.

Popular science documentaries usually paint the Sun in a bad picture. They describe it as a ball of fire which could mercilessly evaporate us with its coronal mass ejections. Little do they know that besides radiation and plasma several Spiritual energies also get ejected with flares. The Sun has sentience and is administered by a deity called Surya Narayana. In fact, Rishis can cause Solar flares meticulously in conjunction with the Sun god so as to flood the earth with beneficial energies to raise human consciousness.

There’s more – there are worlds or planet-like globes inside the Sun! These are inhabited by beings that live in bodies which are very different from ours. These higher-dimensional beings, and the globes they live on, vibrate at a very high frequency.

This could sound absolutely unbelievable to mainstream, rational-minded seekers of truth but then the dual wave-particle nature of the most fundamental building blocks of matter does not leave the common man with much of a certainty on which they can base their understanding of nature.

Albert Einstein’s quote on realities certified by logic is very interesting – ‘As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.’

The Spiritual Masters say that there is a Shaishumara Chakra at 51,840 miles above earth which monitors many parameters to make life possible. If seeing is the only way of believing then all illusions must be true. Until we open up our higher faculties of direct perception, let our intuition guide us to incredible truths, which indeed are, stranger than fiction.

Galaxies, stars, rocks, the laptop I am working on, all are made of Divine Matter. Even when these are not animated by souls, innate intelligence is an important feature of all that is created. Above and beyond these, there are Intelligences in Creation which operate the processes of Nature. Guruji gave us more knowledge on the inner workings of Nature.

“The forces of Nature activate say, for example, a hurricane; it is programmed to execute an exact extent of destruction. Once created, the hurricane acts as an entity and does its job.”

Having read a lot about weather manipulation technologies, I asked Guruji if artificially created hurricanes and tsunamis work differently from Nature induced ones, and how would the extent of destruction and death be programmed into the weather weapon.

The timeless Rishis operate from the Highest realms; they have an answer for every question we can pose, after all they gave us the Vedas (ancient scriptures), Vimanas (ancient aircrafts), etc. “The artificially created hurricane will carry out the intent of its creator!” Guruji said, and pall descended on all of us. It was momentary though, because we knew that the forces of Light Masters always override those of dark.

‘Everyone who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe - a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which, we, with our modest powers, must feel humble.’ – Albert Einstein

Since Nature is sentient with a Spirit behind it, that should explain why some say they can communicate with plants. There have been enough cases reported by meditators wherein they requested their plants to flower and they did. The baffling manner in which vegetation adapts itself to its surroundings can be attributed to bio-chemical signals but what can explain plants heeding to human call to flower.

There is a small patch outside my house which had a large rodent burrow. All efforts to plant flowering shrubs and hedges did not succeed because the rodent would eat away the roots. Guruji had once taught us that if we mentally request to plants and animals with a lot of love, they often oblige. After resisting advices that the stubborn rodent should be poisoned, I simply asked it to leave and it did.

During one of the birthday get-togethers of the staff members of Manasa Administrative Office an interesting topic about pets came up. Guruji mentioned that animals can sense the silent intents we carry in our hearts. He said, “If you have hit a street dog with a stone and if you come across another, somehow it will sense your dislike. Animals can sense fear and other unexpressed emotions in us.”

Somewhere along the conversation when he was reminded that cobras are frequenting Antar-Manasa more often, he told us about snakes. “Snakes, particularly, cobras are very sensitive to Spiritual energies. The energies at Antar-Manasa are intensifying, that is why more cobras are getting drawn to that place.”

If the responsiveness of animals to non-verbal cues is hard to believe, let us look at some real-life examples. I take care of a street dog which stays free all day; it feeds and sleeps in my house compound. It sustained a severe injury and underwent a surgery. I had to keep it leashed until it healed. It kept howling all night, trying to jump-off the gate and escape. In the morning as I started my Meditation, it stayed quiet up until I finished.

Ms. Rajalakshmi, a Light Channels Volunteer, recently shared her experience of how birds respond to Spiritual energy. “I was about to start a Light Channelling session in a school and a crow flew in and sat on the fan. It was continuously making noise. Ignoring the disturbance I continued speaking to the students. The moment we started channelling Light it became silent and remained so for the next three to five minutes. As the practise ended, students began chatting; the crow silently flew away.”

Plants, animals, birds and Nature itself seem to respond to human emotions and Spiritual energies in ways we are yet to understand.

In the same staff members’ meeting Ms. Vaishali Joshi shared her experience of Grace. “Namaste Guruji. Having finished my work day, I was about to start for home; it was pouring heavily. I just looked at Amaraji’s photo in the Office and prayed that if the rains could stop for just twenty minutes, I could reach home without getting drenched. As I was about to step out the rain slowed into a drizzle and then it stopped; the moment I reached home the rain resumed its fury.”

“Such acts of Grace prove the enormity of Love showered on us. Even our smallest of wishes are honoured. Many years ago when I was farming, we needed the rains to let up so that we could harvest the standing crop, otherwise we would have suffered a heavy yield loss. I prayed; barring our area it poured everywhere in the surroundings. Once we finished our task, it rained heavily for about six days. I had tears in my eyes. It is difficult to believe that in a ruthless world, simple prayers whispered from our hearts are answered.”

On some other occasion, Mr. Sunil Bisarahalli had shared something similar. “Guruji, I prayed for the rains to stop just for a few seconds so that I could run from where I was and get into my car without getting wet; it worked. The moment I was safe in the car, it started pouring again.”

I had a similar experience but I did not even pray. The rain stopped and resumed as if on cue, in response to my unexpressed wish.

There are many times when we wish, and even pray, but the rain does not stop and Murphy’s Law triumphs. What could be the science behind these and many other unexplained phenomena which cannot be subjected to the laws of causality!

Nature is mystical. Weather, vegetation, animals and humans are woven in a web of life on earth. Perhaps, global warming cannot be attributed to human actions alone but consciousness too. While scientists do a fantastic job of exploring Nature’s mechanics using their means and machines, we need to open our higher faculties and perceive knowledge directly. Since Nature responds to our prayers, it will surely let us in on some of its secrets.
