Mohanji, Kriya and Breath
Mohanji has said that he came into many people’s lives when they were in difficult situations. Yes, he came into my life when I was totally down -physically and mentally. All that I did was watch his videos. Slowly, I recovered.
Kriya Initiation
I don’t know why I was so obsessed with learning Consciousness Kriya. I came to know about Mohanji’s Consciousness Kiya and applied for it. His grace blessed me with Kriya. I started practicing religiously. Then came my anxiety regarding initiation. As I live with my Mom in a small town, traveling long distances is not easy for me. I have to make lots of arrangements. Hence, I never thought of traveling to Shirdi, even in my dream. For me, it was just impossible. I was praying that Mohanji would come to Tamilnadu. But, I came to know Kriya initiation was to be done in Shirdi.
Suddenly one day, I felt – why not go to Shirdi? It was definitely not me, but Mohanji who made everything easy. I felt as if he held my hands and took me there. That was the first of the happiest events that happened in my life!!! Or I can say the beginning of many happy events in my life!
Soon, I landed in Shirdi and waited in the hotel where the initiation was supposed to take place. There was a little delay, and I started feeling hungry. I didn’t realize that Mohanji could read my mind. I was thinking, “Oh! Now I am feeling hungry. My Mom, too, may feel the same. We can’t go to the hotel now. What if the initiation starts when we are in the hotel?”
Having read my confused mind, Father (Mohanji) immediately sent one of his angels, Dr. Sheetal. I had seen her in Kriya training. When she came in, I went to her, introduced myself, and asked whether she, too, had come for the same. She nodded yes, and I mentioned that we had been asked to wait. I didn’t say anything else. Mohanji has trained his angels very well. She just looked at me for a second and said, “I think I have come for you. Come, I shall drop you in the hotel and pick you up in 20 minutes!” It took some time for me to recollect and understand that Mohanji had read my mind and made all the arrangements to make my trip easy!
I felt very comfortable with her, even though I was meeting her for the first time. She then took me to the temple near Mohanji’s room. I wasn’t aware that soon I would need that place! Yes, after initiation, my mind went completely blank! My legs automatically dragged me to the temple. I sat down in front of Baba and burst into tears. She again consoled me and took me to Mohanji, and my tears calmed down after Mohanji raised his hand and said, “I bless you!” What else do I want in life?
Before initiation, one morning, I woke up hearing Mohanji’s voice saying, “Mookambika.” At that time, I didn’t understand what he meant. Later, the same day, I just clicked on a random blog of his and started reading. I was surprised to find in that blog that Mohanji had particularly asked someone to visit Kollur Mookambika temple. Only then did I understand his message. Since then, I have had this burning desire to visit Kollur. But it was getting delayed, and one day, I was speaking to myself, “I don’t know when I will get a chance to visit Kollur, which you mentioned!” After a couple of hours, my friend called and, while speaking, said, “I think you will visit Kollur in a short period!” It was like his reply. I had told her about my desire a long time before.
Kollur
Like Shirdi, he took me to Kollur, too. As Mohanji said, I was very particular about having as many darshans as I could. But the people who accompanied me decided to skip morning darshan and leave Kollur the next day. I was very disappointed and upset. Later, I thought it was Mohanji who had planned everything! What am I thinking? I surrendered to him and decided to follow whatever he decided for me.
The next day, I woke up by 4:00 a.m., practiced Kriya, and felt the urge to visit the temple before others woke up. As hot water would be available only by 7:00 a.m., I knew these people would not leave before that. I just said, “Jai Mohanji,” and showered in cold water—but I didn’t feel cold! It was still dark, but the lady in our hotel said I could go for darshan. It was also raining heavily.
The previous day, a man in the temple had guided me to an ATM, which was actually quite far, although there was one closer to the temple itself. When I set out for the temple, I was not clear about the route, so I walked in the opposite direction. I then figured it out and walked towards the ATM, which the man directed. It so happened that this ATM was close to the hotel I stayed in and near the temple itself. This incident helped me to remember the route! Maybe Mohanji purposefully did it! When I came out of the hotel, the heavy rain stopped, and when I kept my feet inside the temple, the rain resumed! Every moment there was filled with lots of surprises and excitement.
Kriya Practices
Initially, I was practicing a technique to focus on chakras which caused vigorous shaking of the head and body and later it became unbearable, hurting me. I even got my neck sprained. I thought it was because of Kriya. Then, as per Mohanji Acharya Rekha’s suggestion, I surrendered the Kriya practice to Mohanji when commencing. To my surprise, the shaking stopped immediately, as if a button had been switched off.
Despite this, I was afraid of taking deep breaths for a few days as it may trigger shaking. But it didn’t happen again. Later, I noticed a change in my breath. It became rapid, which worried me a lot. I also noted that the breath actually came in some pattern. I felt it was Mohanji working on me through my breath. I then stopped all the techniques I had practiced before except Kriya, completely emptied myself, and surrendered to Mohanji to take over. But the breath work continues as part of Kriya, where the speed changes and moves up and down my body on its own.
When I was in Shirdi, my Mom and I shared a double bed and I was afraid that I might disturb her during Kriya as she hates any noise or movement while sleeping. I was thinking of Mohanji and my Kriya practice had no shaking that day. But the next day, when we had different beds, it resumed. I was grateful to Mohanji that I was able not to disturb my Mom while she slept.
When I went to Veerabhadra Shrine in Kollur, I sat with the others in front of the Adishankara statue and deeply meditated. After some time, I came out. Later, a man came to me and said, ‘I was meditating next to you, and I felt strong vibrations from you. How is that? ‘ I said, “My Guru is working on me.”
Kriya is working on my breath, and I notice that when I think of Mohanji, chant his Gayatri, or even look at his eye card, I immediately feel a change in the pace of my breath. I see this breath as Mohanji. I bow down to the Master for working on me day and night, giving me stability and strength. Still, I often end up in unexplained tears. The logical mind finally has understood that it is the soul’s plea for liberation!
