Satya Yuga

In the Satya Yuga, there was no religion, and there were no gurus. There was no need for gurus as everyone was in God consciousness, aware of the guru within themselves. “In the ancient days, there was no religion. Just pure love principles and divine consciousness,” said Sri Kaleshwar. In the Mahabharata, Hanuman describes life in the Satya Yuga, “There were no poor and no rich; there was no need to labor because all that men required was obtained by the power of will; the chief virtue was the abandonment of all worldly desires. There was no disease; there was no lessening with the years; there was no hatred or vanity, or evil thought; no sorrow, no fear. All mankind could attain supreme blessedness.”

The rishis needed nothing nor wanted anything for themselves, as they could access the wish- fulfilling means inside themselves. They were masters of creation and could manifest what they desired, but their only desire was for the welfare of the people. They had no self-interest. They were powerful creators. They had yogic powers and could control the elements. They were a sublime example of a human being’s potential, an expression of the perfect human, a prototype for what is possible for humankind. That was their message and their aim, to lift humanity to its highest potential which they embodied.

They had an awakened third eye. Through their inner vision, they were able to see past, present, and future, could control time and space, and manipulate matter at the molecular level. They had yogic powers and could soul travel anywhere in the galaxy. Their memory power was astounding, which enabled them to pass on the knowledge to future generations.

They dedicated their lives to acquiring knowledge of the cosmos. The rishis were the greatest scientists the world has ever known. No one has realized the heights of knowledge they achieved. They lived and performed austerities for thousands of years on behalf of the world. It is through the power of their austerities that the world continues to retain its integrity.

Researching with their inner consciousness during meditation they were able to discover more things about the Universe than Western scientists have found even today. This knowledge is in many fields -- mathematics, geometry, astrology, astronomy, alchemy, physics, architecture, agriculture, medicine, psychology. Some of their discoveries include: the law of gravity, atomic theory, air flight, free energy sources, solar energy, surgery, and anesthesia. In the field of psychology, their discoveries of the laws governing the function of the mind and how to modify it are beyond any modern understanding of the human psyche. The creation of the cosmos, the nature of the soul, the cause of life, death and rebirth, the stages of enlightenment, are just some of the subjects the rishis of the Satya Yuga researched and mastered.

They are the founders of Sanatana Dharma, which is called Hinduism today. Sanatana Dharma was not created by them but instead ‘cognized’ by them. Sanatana means eternal or perennial. It is the eternal philosophy, the eternal ‘rightpath’ that has always, and will always, exist. It is the way of living and code of ethics to achieve liberation and maintain peaceful and harmonious order in society. It is the spiritual science of the Vedic civilization.

Rishi Knowledge:

The rishis are the source of the vast knowledge in the Vedas. Their research was compiled into four books known as the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda, and the Atharva Veda. The Vedas are of divine origin, they were not written, but were ‘shruti’, heard. They listened to the cosmos, the Divine Mother, singing. The rishis were called mantra drashta, ‘seers of mantras.’ Thousands of mantras were discovered and recorded in the Vedas. In the beginning, the knowledge was preserved orally and passed down from master to disciple from one generation to the next. It was the rishi, Vyasa, who first compiled and committed them to writing approximately 3800 BC, which is why he was given the name Veda Vyasa

Knowing the supreme importance of the wisdom in the Vedas, later rishis tried to protect the purity of the knowledge. To do this, they created a caste, Brahmins, whose duty it was to memorize and pass on the knowledge to future generations. The Brahmins became the custodians of this wisdom which had both a positive and negative result. While it protected the purity of the knowledge, as is evidenced by the Vedas being recited today exactly as they were thousands of years ago, the creation of a special caste took the knowledge out of the hands of women, and the common people.

The Divine Mother taught the rishis the secret formulas to access the miraculous secrets hidden in nature. As Sri Kaleshwar said, “Never ever underestimate Mother’s Creation. Even one single plant can act, react, give results, and help you.” The rishis learned everything from the Divine Mother.

Yogic Science of Power:

Two things are necessary in the Kali Yuga, bhakti and shakti -- love and power. “Every avatar on the planet has two things – love and power – bhakti and shakti,” Sri Kaleshwar said. “It’s very hard to lead the planet and the souls with only one. If you have no love in your heart, you can’t heal. The healer must have a loving heart and loving nature. But without power, shakti, you cannot help the majority of people. You need to give energy strokes to them to fall in love with God, to grow that love forever and ever. In the world, 90% of spiritual teachers are good talkers but they can’t give satchitananda, the bliss. You need to give them experiences of shakti and through their experiences, bhakti, love, is born.

“In order to do what Jesus did, what Swami did, what Buddha did, what Baba did, you need both bhakti and shakti. First devotion, bhakti. Many people say devotion is enough, with it everything is possible. Yes, one part I agree. But if someone is suffering with cobra bite, even if you’re a great devotee of Baba, you cannot make them survive. You need shakti there. Power needs to be utilized in the coming days to help.”

Power is shakti. The Divine Mother is shakti. Shakti is the creative force of the Universe; no creation is possible without shakti. It is currency of Creation. With shakti, everything is possible. Without shakti, nothing can happen. Shakti is the force that breathes life and animates everything. Shakti is the Cosmic energy.

Through practices, you can develop a channel, a connection, to receive the Cosmic energy directly. Sri Kaleshwar called them ‘the power channels.’ The power channels are an ancient yogic science of power. Through these practices the soul receives Cosmic energy, then through training and implementation can create and manifest. There are two main abilities awakened through the power channels: healing capabilities, and sankalpam siddhi, the power to manifest through will and intention.

“They gave the scientific formulas of the Cosmic energy in these manuscripts,” Sri Kaleshwar said. “These are the inner secrecy formulas, showing how to connect to different divine energies. In the spiritual system, the saints say that if you sit in your meditation room and pronounce the perfect formula, you can do whatever you want with the energy. For example, you can send healing energy to someone long distance or give a message to them automatically. By telepathy, by thought, it reaches them.”

Through specific processes you can see the energies hidden from the normal eye. A person can develop the ability to see souls, spirits, and angels. They can appear to you and communicate with you. “There are supernatural formulas in the manuscripts, mantras, and yantras, which show how to connect to the Cosmic energy…’ Sri Kaleshwar said, “All these channels are not ordinary. If you do them, the results will be there. To recognize God, to see God, to communicate with God, to demonstrate miracles, and give that experience to someone else, that is the ultimate research. That is the research of a soul scientist. That is the information written in the palm leaves. Every person can do it.”
