Page 5 - Liberal Exposition of Pranahuti Aided Meditation

FOREWORD
SriRamchandraji Maharaj says in his Paris declaration that, “Co-operation is the life of coming events”. Fraternity has always been elusive over the course of human civilisations. The three spiritual values liberty, equality and fraternity have been unfortunately brought down to the secular level and brotherhood as a result remains elusive.
My Revered father Sri. K.C.Narayana explains in this book, a compilation of the talks given during various training programs, in a manner leaving no doubt in the minds of the readers that spirituality alone is capable of making us live upto the level of this particular standard of fraternity and that is possible only when you know your common origin and this common origin can be known only in your heart, not elsewhere.
He goes on to explain that only when this common origin is known, the implementation of values of service, sacrifice, tolerance, maitri is possible.
One thing we notice in most of the talks is the various angles one can look at the system. Sri. K.C.Narayana presents a comprehensive view of the system in every topic and this is found as a unique feature of this compilation. The emphasis on co-operation, interdependence is something that he stresses on in every talk time and again.
The first talk on ‘Introduction to PAM’ highlights the various states of mind, the truth of interdependency, the sahajeevana concept, how and why to meditate, the stress on points ’A’ and ‘B’, the value of Pranahuti and Prayer.
The second talk on ‘Meditation’ explains the way to meditate and also explains the various states of mind that are there during meditation and to which plane they relate.
The third talk on ‘Control of Mind’ talks about determination, the need for a sankalpa, and the attitude to be adopted while meditating stressing also on the qualities of service, sacrifice, love and interdependence.
The fourth talk on ‘Pranahuti’ explains the uniqueness of the system of SriRamchandra. The concept of Pranahuti, it’s origin and its role in the sadhana of the abhyasi, who can do Pranahuti, what happens when it is done and other aspects are explained in much detail.
The fifth talk on ‘Efficacy of Rajayoga’ makes it clear that the efficacy of the system is in two things – the imperative need for self effort of the aspirant and the support of the Master throughout our progress. The help of the Pranahuti along with the meditations on the points A and B in controlling the urges which further lead to development of higher values of aspiration, sharing, sacrifice, sat-asat viveka is also explained in detail.
