>> Jai Radha: Hello Everyone.
Welcome to our next session [Part 5] in the “Walking the Path of Enlightened Masters
Series” as we take a deeper look into the mystical energies of India, the Motherland
of Spirituality.
I am honored again to be here with Dr. Pillai.
I thank you so much for your generosity.
We heard a lot about the first week of the Trip and you even talked more about enlightenment
process, karma removal, why we should be in India to receive these amazing teachings from
you, the presence of the power of being with you when receiving your Darshan.
So we already know it’s going to be a fantastic journey in India with you in 2015.
This week we really want to know what these teachings are that you mentioned, Siddhi Powers,
and how can they change our lives?
Why do we want to learn about Siddhi Powers and what are they?
>> Dr. Pillai: Siddhi Powers, simply put, means Miraculous Powers, or powers that enable
you to perform miracles.
And what’s a Miracle?
A Miracle is something like say, you have a disease, and there is no cure for the disease.
And then with the involvement of the Siddhi Powers, or Divine Powers, then you can cure
the disease.
Similarly, if you are very poor, and then you come upon great wealth in a miraculous
way, and that is Siddhi Power.
So, what are we going to do here?
Siddhi Power is not just something happens to you by accident.
Usually we call it as fortune or providence, and these are terms that cannot be scientifically
explained, providence or fortune; they are simply,you know, luck or accident phenomena.
But according to “The Father of Yoga”, Patanjali, these are powers that you can cultivate.
All that you need to do is to get beyond your rational mind, limited mind, that is locked
into cause and effect and logic.
And logic is the stumbling block.
And we have not known any other reality other than cause and effect and logic.
So there is a domain, within our own consciousness, which is non-logical, or trans-logical, which
is capable of giving you these miraculous powers.
So they are quite scientific, as far as the steps are concerned, where you move into this
Siddhi Level of Consciousness through the power of concentration, or by deploying a
certain type of latent powers within you, but which you do not know what they are, where
they are.
So you are only locked into this mundane, human, logical, limited consciousness.
The Siddhi Powers are powers that you acquire through certain meditation practices that
activate different parts of the brain, giving rise to different levels of consciousness
that takes you beyond the logic and do the impossible.
That is our Birthright.
Our Birthright is to live that consciousness and not to be limited by human consciousness.
In the last session I talked about: “God created man in his own image”.
Jesus said, you know, “God and him are one and the same”.
“God and me are just one and the same”, meaning that latent power within you is what
your true identity is.
Siddhi Powers lie in that domain.
So we are going to systematically unravel that consciousness during the program.
I have done this program many times, Patanjali, but this time it is going to be very different.
>> Jai Radha: Why?
>> Dr. Pillai: Why?
Yes, That’s a good question.
Why?
Because I came to know recently that I have had an incarnation as Patanjali.
It’s not quite recently, because it came in the Nadi Astrological Scriptures about
10 -15 years ago, but I did not resonate with it.
and, But recently a Siddha came to me and said, Patanjali is in your body.
Okay.
Then I was able to recollect my association, or pull towards Patanjali, to his Samadhi
Shrine in Rameshwaram where even as a boy, like 8 years old, I used to go and sit there,
not knowing who Patanjali was at 12, or that he’s the teacher of the Siddha Powers and
so forth, because it was a soul connection.
But now, after the Siddha came into my life and told that Patanjali is in your consciousness,
and a lot of things happened.
And Then I began to understand the teachings of Patanjali in Sanskrit, and their deeper
meaning.
And nobody, although Patanjali has been commented by scholars and mystics, they did not have
the proper understanding.
And I was revealed, so the teaching that I’m going to do is directly from Patanjali’s
consciousness which I came to live after meeting with the Siddhas, and then after recognizing
the Power of the Sounds that can create you the consciousness.
You want to ask what the sounds are?
Yes.
Yes, of course everybody wants to know that.
Sounds create reality.
Even in the Bible there is a saying that: “In the beginning there was The Word, and
The Word was with God, and The Word created the world.”
So everything is just The Word which is sound.
So Patanjali gives the sounds to create different forms of Siddhis.
To know somebody’s mind is another Siddhi.
And what are the words he uses?
That’s why I want to use the words tas Patanjali used, and that wil, the words, where the secrets
lie within the words, and then how you can use them.
Because up until now, particularly in the West, people use only a translation of Patanjali’s
Yoga Sutras.
I’m not saying it will not work, it will work, maybe 20%, not more than that.
So you have to use the Sanskrit Sounds, and invoke his power, and then, and only then
can you develop these Siddhi Powers that he talks about.
So that is going to be the new and authentic way that I will be presenting Patanjali.
And I’m very delighted, and I’m very proud, and I'm very grateful to have become aware
of this new transformation that has taken place within me.
I just wanted to share that with you.
And then particularly in Rameshwaram, you have the Shrine with Patanjali’s Statue
Meditating, so we will also get his ‘Blessings’ from there too.
>> Jai Radha: Great.
So Dr. Pillai, it sounds like both sessions, the 36 Steps, as well as, the Siddhi Powers,
will help bring us from the limited consciousness into an unlimited sense of God.
So what’s the difference between those two weeks, and the distinction between those two
set of teachings that you’ll be giving?
>> Dr. Pillai: So the first week is just a preparatory, you know, that will give you
a knowledge of the 36 Steps, to go beyond them, and then just kind of a cleansing process,
and then kind of identifying yourself with the Real Self, and that is a foundational
program.
Siddhi is going beyond that, because Siddhi is the domain of consciousness where you perform
miracles, because Siddhi is Miracles.
So it is natural progression to go from mundane, rationalistic, logical consciousness to an
Unlimited Miraculous Consciousness.
So this is an Advanced Program, and that’s why I put it as the second Program.
>> Jai Radha: Got it.
Ok.
So each week we’ll be building upon the next, and we’ll be able to deepen that connection
with our own self.
And as you mentioned in the Series before this, the segment, that we’ll be able to
overcome very material things like poverty, and health problems, and relationship problems.
So it’s a very practical application, and I know that you don’t do anything without
it being practical to everyday living.
So it sounds like you are taking ancient teachings from Patanjali, literally channeling them,
so that folks who are sitting in front of you will be hearing Patanjali himself, really.
And being able to apply them in a modern world where we have to make changes in order to
be able to strive to go to those next levels of enlightenment.
So we thank you for that amazing experience that we can look forward to in India.
And, is there anything else you would like to say about Siddhi Powers?
You mentioned once that The Goddess has to do with Siddhi Powers.
Can you tell us a little bit about that?
>> Dr. Pillai: I will reserve that for the next piece where I will be talking about the
Kundalini Yoga.
Patanjali himself doesn’t talk about The Goddess, but his approach is, “ How you
can systematically unravel the Miraculous Siddhi Power through his own methods.”
Although, I want to add one thing to this second part of the Program, that is why do
we need these Siddhi Powers?
Because we want Miracles in our lives.
We want money now.
We want relationship now.
We want the business which we want to see now.
We want a house now.
We want a car now.
But then the rational mind says, “Forget it.
It’s not going to work”.
Okay, but the Siddhis will enable you to go into that domain in order to acquire them
in a miraculous way.
So that life itself is going to be guided by Miracles, and I talked about the miracles
also in my first session.
Just even before you think, things start happening.
Okay.
And it is pretty good.
Huh.
If you think and then manifest, if you don’t think and manifest, it gets even better.
So These are stages of Siddhi Powers.
You do these techniques, not just, you know, for fun or wasting time, it’s just for growing
into the richness, and harvesting that richness and power that is latent with in you, and
that is freely available to you.
All that I’m providing you is just, on the one hand, my own energy to stimulate those
areas of the brain so that you can have access to that.
That is the crux of the second part.
>> Jai Radha: Fantastic.
Thank you.
Thank you so much Dr. Pillai for joining us again and we certainly look forward to hearing
more about Kundalini Yoga in your next session.
And hopefully we’ve inspired all of those out there to want to experience these Siddhi
Powers.
Again we’ll be doing the same kind of layout for that program for a full week with experiential
sessions for several hours at a time with Dr. Pillai.
We will have the learning of what these Siddhi Power teachings are, and practicing them.
And then, of course being in his presence and receiving that energy and literally feeling
the transmission of Patanjali himself to these ancient teaching.
Thank you for joining us, Dr. Pillai.
And we hope we see you in India.
Namaste.
