| Recollections From Immediate Past Life As Swami Ramalingam |
| Baba Sri Siva Speaks: |
| "This morning, October 7th, 2002, I woke up and retrieved some memory from my immediate past life as Swami Ramalingam. As Ramalingam, my life had been an experiment with human existence. I wanted to change the destiny of the human body-mind. I longed for a body free of diseases and aging. I wanted a mind that processed only happy thoughts and feelings and didn't suffer with frustration and anguish, even for a moment. I accomplished both. The body became luminous without blood and flesh and the mind was filled with bliss. I offered to teach the techniques to my followers. None wanted it. When I felt that there was no demand for me, I left the earthplane with these techniques in order to come back with more power and at an appropriate time. Here I am. I am still figuring it out. I thought it would help to retrieve memories from my last life. |
| Some interesting information came to me. Here it is in a 'birds-eye' view of my life as Ramalingam. I lived up to 53 years. Most of my life was spent in meditation and reflection and documenting this in poems that I wrote. I had no job and didn't entertain any mundane thoughts. When I found out I needed more and more money for ashram activities, I didn't feel comfortable asking people to donate money. I started making alchemical gold. I used part of it to build the Satya Jnana temple at Vadalur. The idea was to completely cover the entire temple with gold. Lord Siva was to come and live there. |
| My biggest concern was to understand why people were not interested in evolution - in getting a light body and a problem-free mind. I knew the human impurities of ego, karma and maya that afflicted every soul and the limited freedom of free will that everyone enjoyed. No matter what, karma is going to pump its own input in the forms of thoughts and life events. Maya's deceptive power will be eternally present to charm people into loving the world. Ego gives a selfish touch to everything. |
| Remember what the Bible says, 'In the blink of an eye, this corrupt body will turn into Light.' Many of you reading this might raise your eyebrows or even frown. Listen, I am not an evangelist. I am not saying that things are going to happen exactly according to what the Bible has said. Every religious tradition is expecting their messiah to appear. Listen, it is time for the theophany. How it is going to happen? It is for time to unravel. I am happy that we don't have to wait too long. |
| Who is responsible for all three impurities? You cannot lay it on the individual soul entirely. There are negative forces. Christianity calls it the devil and other religions speak of demons, ignorance, etc. Whatever may be the truth - in that incarnation, I came to the conclusion that God must act. He should somehow descend onto the earth plane and set things right. Siva agreed. I thought that he would be there around February of 1874. Instead of coming to the earth, he took me off the earth. It wasn't the right time. |
| I have come back and have corrected some of my mistakes from the life of Ramalingam. As Ramalingam, my teachings negated life. There was no fun. It was all very serious. Not that I was wrong, but at that time, I didn't want to compromise with worldly life. In this lifetime, up until now, I focused on teaching mainly prosperity. I am now going to encourage myself to be interested in physical immortality and Enlightenment. I am now arming myself for the task. You will hear from me soon. |
| By the way, don't forget prosperity; you need money to meditate peacefully. Participate in the maya. Eat, drink, go to the movies, and make love, but always remember that life is a dream. Learn to be happy irrespective if something unhappy happens or something you want to happen does not happen. Accept the moment and be happy!" |
| Response From Baba Sri Siva To Questions From Last Newsletter: |
| "One Minute or 30 Minutes? |
| I understand that some people were concerned that I had asked people to meditate for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening. I want to assure you that if you meditate for one minute a day, it is fine. To tell you the truth, if you meditate even less than a minute, it is not only fine but even better. Any mantra, in order for it to become fully powerful, needs to be thought within a 250th division of a second. Since the human mind is incapable of conceiving such a small unit of time, it is fine that you stick with the One Minute Meditation practice. |
| Why did I ask you to meditate for 30 minutes? First of all, it is not harmful to meditate for a longer time. A longer time of meditation each day will benefit the body. The body is slow in catching up. I wanted the body cells to catch up with the AUM NAMASIVAYA, in order to maintain good health. |
| Once again, I want to assure you that the One Minute Meditation is fine. Some of you may have already ordered my book. It is the smallest book on the market. But in my opinion, the book is too long. All that you need to remember is: 'Ah Oo Ma OM NAMASIVAYA' within one minute! |
