Impediments - Part 4
(8) Dissatisfaction (Alabdhabhūmikatva)
When one fails to attain the state of Samādhi (trance) in yoga for whatever reason, or perhaps because of some failing within oneself, then dissatisfaction arises in the mind. It prevents one from persevering in yoga, and it is this discontent which is called ’Alabdhabhūmikatva’. For this the practitioner should keep persevering in the practice of yoga.
(9) Disorganization (Anvyavasthitva)
When a person wanders from the true prescribed path of conduct in yoga once he attains the Samādhi (trance) state and when he loses sight of his actual aim of yoga, then this is called ’anvyavasthitva’ (’being disorganized’). Such a person forgets his prescribed duties in life and loses his self-control and begins utilizing the supernatural accomplishments that routinely accompany the Samādhi (trance) state not for public welfare – as is prescribed – but for selfish interests. In order to stay away from this mental ill it should be forever kept in mind that our aim in following the path of yoga is to ultimately merge ourselves with the supreme power, and not to get trapped in worldly temptations. It is the Guru (spiritual guide) alone who can remove these impurities. The scriptures, too, are helpful to a limited extent but if one were to get the full grace of one’s Guru then the task becomes a child’s play for the yoga practitioner. Hence a verbatim carrying of one’s Guru‘s orders alone leads to sure success, because doing so automatically results in the Guru best owing a portion of this power to the practitioner, i.e. ‘The Guru is the cornerstone of meditation. The words of the Guru are what constitute a mantra. And accomplishment ultimately rests with the Guru‘s grace alone’. Hence before any accomplishment, Guru‘s grace is necessary
With good wishes to you all,

The Dik Particle, which we've elaborated on in the previous newsletter, gives rise to the Māyāṇḍa (1), also gives rise to- from only a portion of their totality- to the śākryāṇḍa (2). the latter in turn gives rise to the Prakrtiyanda (3) carries the sequential creation forward by giving rise to the Brahmāṇḍa from a part of it, and the latter gives rise to Visva, in turn, bring about the origin of the kāla-Puruṣa (the android of time).
- Māyāṇḍa: Every word has a denotative meaning and boundary but when we go over this boundary or when the entire cerebral power of our mind is unable to express the meaning of something then we symbolize It as Infinity.
The dynamic path of the entire Infinite (the path of force and power) is called māyāṇḍa. lt is the extremely unknown and controlling power and the creator of black-holes. Every element is in motion due to the extremely subtle moving light path of the infinite - this māyāṇḍa - but it, because of being infinite is unknowable by the human psyche even though momentary perceptions of it routinely occur. This is a plaintive expression found in the scriptures, signifying an admission of defeat on the part of the scripture writers when they feel that they can no longer comprehend the vastness of creation beyond a certain point. Roughly speaking, it would mean ‘we give up, we give up’.
- śākryāṇḍa: lt is a black-hole but has no color really. It creates śakti (the power of the entire creation) and activates everything in creation -from the atom to the biggest thing existing- according to its own will. That is why it is called the form of śakti and the scriptures call it the śākryāṇḍa.
- Prakrtiyanda: The numerous galaxies in the universes are called collectively, the prakrtiyanda and it is so widespread that its borders extend to immense light-years in terms of time and space. The prakrtiyanda contains all the kāla-puruṣas which are the ‘androids of time'. They are the overlords of the entire world, the asterisms and the zodiacal signs. These kāla-puruṣas are located in the great void of the universe in a limited condition and they constantly orbit each other in this void. Since this entire constellation of kāla-puruṣas is the origin of natural creation, existence and destruction (apocalypse) as per the rules of nature, hence it is called the prakṛtiyāṇḍa.

Brahmāṇḍa - The constellation of asterisms and planets visible to one and the zodiac i.e. one kāla-puruṣa together with one galaxy is called brahmāṇḍa. The brahmāṇḍa has three distinct categories— physical, mental and post-apocalypse.
In the previous newsletter we’ve explained the first two categories of Brahmāṇḍa, being the (a) Physical and (b) Mental Brahmāṇḍa.
The third category is the (c) post-apocaliptical -
It is universally accepted that everything in motion is inherently changeable. In such a condition, occasionally destruction and re-creation in every such thing are equally possible even if there be the slightest variation in the velocity of its motion or due to the slightest friction with some other element in motion. When this happens the prior states of these ‘altered velocity’ elements or of elements in friction gets obliterated or altered and a new creation emerges due to factors determined ultimately by dik (the angular perspective of Infinity) and natural factors. Given such a situation the third category of brahmāṇḍa -the post- ‘apocalypse one-revealed’. The ephemeral form of the brahmāṇḍa and not its eternal form because in itself is quite changeable in nature. However, it should be kept in mind that to the brahmāṇḍa is not infinite like the māyāṇḍa but that it has a specific limit and a specific boundary.

Bhadury and Vatsala Bhadury, who were the guests of honor and who offered a blessing to all 1,000 yoga practitioners at the main event in the exhilarating Timna Park landscape.
