By Pram Pujya” Swamiji Selvam
Siddhar”
The spine or the human energy field contains
Chakras, or energy centers, that vibrate at
different frequencies. Each Chakra presents
us with the opportunity to establish a root
relationship and to satisfy the deep soul
desire. Each frequency holds the gift of a
certain power, which enhances our human
experience on Planet Earth. As we tune into
this power along with specific MANTRAS
for each CHAKRAS, we are internally
empowered to deal with the specific life
challenges of that energy center or Chakra.
There are seven Chakras in the human
spine each for different body function. As
a consequence we live a long meaningful
and fulfilling life. We can also heal our
self through meditation and chanting of the
specific MANTRA with awakening of each
CHAKRA. Mantras are powerful sounds
and when chanted with devotion produce
enormous effects. Mantras are well-off in
their meanings and their meanings can also
be meditated while chanting. As the mind
concentrates more and more on Mantras
and their meanings along with Chakras,
they condition the mind and take up to the
higher state and form the path to salvation -
the eternal bliss. Read on to know about the
significance of specific Mantras.
CHANTING OF MANTRA
Chanting of Mantra is a concept of the
Vedic Saints that includes Mantras as one
of the main forms of worship, whose end
is seen as salvation. Basically, Mantra Jap
means repeating the Mantra. Mantra Jap
involves repetition of Mantra again and
again, usually 108 times completes one
cycle. Due to this, the Rosary (Mala) used
for Mantra Jaap has 108 beads in it.
Practical Aids for Jap:-
#1 Take a shower or wash your hands, feet,
Siddhi Times USA 4
t ha
eva
a D
face and mouth before sitting for Jap in the
morning.
#2 Sit facing east or north during the
practice. This enhances the effectiveness of
the Jap.
#3 Sit on a rug to conserve body-
electricity.
#4 Sit in a separate meditation room or in
any suitable place, such as a temple, on
a river bank or under a Banyan or Peepal
tree.
#5 Maintain a steady pose. You can sit in
Padmasana, Siddhasana or Sukhasana.
Resolve to complete a certain minimum
number of Malas before leaving your seat.
Select any Mantra and repeat it from 108 to
1,080 times daily (one to ten Malas).
#6 Use a panchabootha Mala of 54/108
beads. Do not allow the Rosary to hang
below the navel. The Rosary (Mala) must
not be visible to you or to others, so cover
it properly. Use the middle finger and the
thumb of the right hand to roll the beads.
The use of the index finger is not allowed.
Do not cross the Meru (main bead) while
rolling the beads. If the mala / Rosary is of
54 beads select the counts 108 to 1080 by
counting 2 to 20 malas / Rosaries.
#7 Chant Atharva Vedic Mantra Jap by
mind sometime without a panchabootha
mala. When the mind wanders, do the Jap
aloud, or whisper the Mantra for some time
and come back to mental Jap again as soon
as possible.
#8 Do not chant Mantra in haste. Do it slowly
with feeling, devotion and concentration of
mind.
#9 If Mantras are chanted mechanically, it
is of no use except waste of time. Total
devotion and surrender to the deity to
whom the Mantra is supposed to be
appropriate is a must. Your faith in the
Lord has to be total. Then only you will
be able to reach the goal and be benefited
by the blessings of God.
#10 Mantras are more powerful if uttered
with utmost devotion, dedication and in
totality. In fact for a common man, a
Mantra is an occult formula to remove
various worries and troubles. It is a tool
to get one’s desires fulfilled through
positive vibrations.
CHAKRAS IN HUMAN BODY
Try to associate the chant with the rhythm of
the breath and meditate in the form of your
Deity. Keep a picture or idol of the Deity in
front of you. Think of the meaning of the
Mantra while repeating it.

Spiritual healing is when energy is transmitted to the person
who needs it. The treatment works on the body, mind and spirit,
which are seen as one unit that must harmonize for good health.
If a separate healer is involved, the healer will place the hand on
the person being treated to channel the energy from the Higher
Source. The spiritual healing can help mental and emotional
problems and physical conditions such as a frozen shoulder.
What is spiritual healing?
The channeling of healing energy from its spiritual source to
someone who needs it is called spiritual healing. The channel is
usually a person, whom we call a healer, and the healing energy
is usually transferred to the patient through the healer’s hands.
The healing does not come from the healer, but through him.
On the other hand, you don’t need a healer to take advantage of
spiritual healing.
The word “spiritual” refers to the divine nature of the energy,
which healers agree comes from one external, invisible intelligent
Siddhi Times USA 11
source. The healing energy from this source is available to all.
Healers see the body mind and spirit as one inte rdependent unit
and believe all three must work in harmony to maintain positive
health. Any problem - be it a broken leg or depression needs the
power of healing to restore the balance of the whole person. It is
felt that sickness often starts in the mind, or at the deeper level
of the spirit, and it is often here that healing begins.
New Age and The Dawning of a New Era: New Age is a loose
term that includes everything from self improvement programs
to awareness of mind-body connections. The movement is
growing by leaps and bounds.
Time magazine reported that in 1996, about 44 million
Americans identified with the healing movement. It is estimated
that Americans alone spend about $1.5 billion annually on books
about spirituality and religion. About 42 percent of Americans
have sought out alternative health care. So, there is no doubt that
the movement is catching on.
“There is a hunger for being connected with a divine force.
The hunger is not just for philosophy, but for experience,” says
James Redfield, author of ‘Celestial Prophecy’.
“The consciousness I20am describing – the perception of
synchronisticity, mysterious coincidences – represent great
opportunities to grow. That process works whether you are a
brain surgeon or sacking groceries. Consciousness has the ability
to break cycles of poverty.”
Spirituality vs. Religion
Spirituality can be seen as being distinct from religion. Different
world religions have proposed various doctrines and belief
systems about the nature of a God and humanity’s relationship
with it. Spirituality, on the other hand, refers to the common
experience behind these various points of view. It is an experience
involving an awareness of and relationship with something that
transcends your personal self as well as the human order of
things. This “something” has been given various names (“God”
being the most popular in Western Society) and defined in ways
that are too numerous to count. We call it simply as the God. You
Siddhi Times USA 12
can choose to define what that means for yourself in whatever
way feels most appropriate. Your own sense of a God can be as
abstract as “cosmic consciousness” or as down-to-earth as the
beauty of the ocean or mountains. Even if you regard yourself
an agnostic or atheist, you may get a sense of inspiration from
taking a walk in the forest or contemplating a beautiful sunset.
Or a small child’s smile may give you a special sense of joy.
There is much healing and benefit to be obtained by cultivating
your spiritual life. A personal spiritual commitment is the most
important ingredient. Spiritual awareness and growth can effect
a transformation in your whole being. It can help you to develop
a basic trust and faith that is unshakable. Scientists call this
intrinsic belief.
Many have experienced major turnarounds in their condition as
a result of cultivating their spirituality. They feel that developing
a relationship with their God provided the moral support,
courage, hope, and faith for them to follow through with their
personal recovery program. It provided them with a sense that
they are not alone in the universe, and that there is a source of
guidance and support that is availab le at times of confusion and
discouragement.
Peace of Mind
Peace of mind is the result of feeling a deep, abiding sense of
security and safety. The more reliance and trust you develop in
God, the easier it becomes to deal without fear or worry with
the inevitable challenges life brings. It is not that you give up
your self or your will to such a power; rather you simply learn
that you can “let go” and turn to God when you feel stuck with
a problem in living and don’t know how to proceed. Learning
how to let go when solutions to problems aren’t immediately
apparent can go a long way toward reducing worry and anxiety
in your life. Peace of mind is what develops in the absence of
such anxiety.
Self-Confidence
As you develop a relationship with God, you come to realize
that he has created you and hence he has found something good
in you. You are part of the universe. You’re good, lovable, and
worthy of respect just by virtue of the fact that you’re God’s
Siddhi Times USA 13
 more of it coming into your life. You begin to experience
less fear and more joy in your life and help to inspire others
to experience their own capacity for unconditional love. This
kind of love also manifests itself through the experience of
having everything you need in your life to get on with what
you want to do.

Guidance
Developing a relationship with God will provide you with
guidance for making decisions and solving problems.
God has a universal wisdom that goes beyond what you
can accomplish through your own intellect. In traditional
religions this has been referred to as the “divine intelligence.”
Through connecting with God, you can draw upon this
greater wisdom to help you resolve all kinds of difficulties.
By learning to ask God for guidance, you’ll be surprised to
find that every sincere request sooner or later is answered.
And the quality of that answer generally exceeds what
you could have figured out through your own conscious
intellect or will. Here, God is like your co-pilot. God is
always available in the instant of need to those who have
made a habit of waiting quietly before Him for insight and
guidance.

Follow these guidelines for an effective

relationship with God:

1. Be quiet, patient, and open before God

2. Be confident that he will communicate his wishes and

help you execute them.

3. Do not tempt God or make terms with Him. Gandhi said,

“Not until we have reduced ourselves to nothingness, can
we conquer the evil in us. God demands nothing less than
creation. This realization can improve the way you look at
complete self-surrender as the price for the only real freedom
yourself and will help you to improve your ego and what you
that is worth having. And when a man thus loses himself, he
think of yourself. You are still inherently good and worthwhile.

Your own judgments of yourself, however negative, do not
becomes his delight and his recreation.”
ultimately count if you are a creation of the universe as much
as everything else. As one person put it: “God doesn’t make
junk.”

The Capacity To Give and Receive Unconditional

Love

The most fundamental characteristic of God is that it offers

you an experience of unconditional love. This is a kind of love
which differs from romantic love or even ordinary friendship. It
entails an absolute caring for the welfare of another without any
preconditions. That is, no matter how another person appears or
acts, you have compassion and care for them without judgment.
As you develop a deeper connection with God, you come to
experience greater degrees of unconditional love in your life.
You feel your heart opening more easily to people and their
concerns. You feel free of judgment toward them or of making
comparisons among them. Unconditional love shows up both in
your increased capacity to give love to others and to experience

6. Let God speak to you through his Words. Read spiritual and
religious books such as the Bible and learn about the rules of
victorious living.
These are some of the characteristics that define a close
relationship with God. All of them can significantly contribute
to your personal healing process. The extent and sincerity of
your commitment will determine the degree of personal healing
you20experience.
Intercessory Prayers:
Many Hindus ask saints and others to intercede on their
behalf. People pray for others. Your chance of healing can be
improved substantially if you can get others to pray for you. The
scientific evidence for the efficacy of such prayers is described
elsewhere.

Outside Help: Healing Practitioners, Intercessory Prayers,
etc. Healers:
Healers believe that everyone has a healing mechanism that
flows as an energy force around the body, mind and spirit to
keep them in perfect order. Unfortunately, stress, an inadequate
diet, a negative attitude and other adverse factors can block our
healing mechanism so that it cannot function correctly and we
get ill. Spiritual healing provides the energy needed to crank our
own healing mechanism back into action. When a healer lays his
hand on you, he acts as a conductor or channel for the healing
energy which he believes has the “intelligence” to go where it
is needed.
Healers say that all of us have the power to heal, if we choose to
develop it. However, some do seem to have a healing gift.
Which problems can Spiritual Healing help?
Spiritual healing can help with any problem, mental,
physical or emotional. Healers are especially effective
for muscular-skeletal problems. such as frozen
shoulders, stiff necks and bad knees. SWAMIJI
His Holiness Sri Selvam Siddhar also known as Dr
Commander Selvam helped millions of people to
come out of their different problems. Access www.

Healing does not always work at a physical level; the

illness may remain but the ability to cope with it improves.
Sometimes it does not work at all. This may be because
the sick person “blocks” the healing forces - some people
subconsciously prefer to be ill. It may also be because we
“need” to remain ill.

Healing is not just about living well, but also dying

well. People healed when they are dying may die more
peacefully.

Typically, to begin the treatment the healer will attune with

the healing energy. Then he may scan your body, with his
hands hovering just above you. This scanning is to take a
reading of your body’s energy levels and to locate areas of
low or blocked energy where healing is needed. How long
the healer spends on each area is determined by your body’s
needs. Generally, the session lasts about an hour. All healers
work in this way, but some employ additional healing tools
such as visualization, past lives therapy, aura healing or
they may concentrate on using the “chakras” the seven main
energy centers of the body.

During the treatment you may feel heat coming from the
healer’s hands, although some people feel a draught, a tingling

Science is Tatva Yoga i.e. Yoga based on Science
of Elements and these Mudras can help in curing
many Diseases.
Tatva Yoga Mudra Vigyan is an independent Yoga, built upon
the knowledge of the five fingers of the human hand.
Detailed descriptions are available in Mantra Shastra (Books
of incantation), Upasana Shastra (Books on meditation), Nritya
Shastra (Books on the art of Dances) and the books on the art
of sculpture.
Mudra is a very exact and scientific Yogic function by which
one can develop and even change one’s internal and external
disposition viz. Mental (anger, emotional disturbance, intelligence
etc.), Spiritual (concentration, meditation) or Physical (in various
diseases, illnesses). Mudras can bring miraculous Mental,
Spiritual and Physical changes and improvements in our body.
They help in quickly balancing the elements of the body.
Mudras effect changes in Veins, Tendons, Glands and Sense
Organs.
Mudras need no prior preparation. They can be done (mostly but
with exceptions) at any time, anywhere and virtually under any
circumstances.
Mudras are like literal remote control switches bringing quick
and effective changes.They help in bringing about permanent
changes.
Mudras help in Kundalini Yoga to awaken the Cosmic Energy
and to Unite Consciousness of Inner Supreme Soul.
Constant practice of Mudras can stop or slow down the
destructive changes in the human body. It can help develop a
virtuous, socially amiable, non-violent, pious and courteous
disposition.
Some of t he Mudras can balance the elements of the body

human body.
and Sanatan Dharma has 24 avatars. The 24 words of the
Gayatri Mantra have a special relationship with 24 Mudras
known as GAYATRI MUDRAS. They have different names
and formations.
The importance of Mudras is also clear from the grim qualifier
to these: -
Etaa Mudraa na jaanaati, Gaayatri nishphalaa bhaveta
(To him who does not know Mudras, Gayatri becomes
ineffectual.)
Mudras awaken the cosmic energy and help unite the Atma
(Soul) with Paramatama (Cosmic Soul).
Thus, the tension applied to the nerve/s and/or the neural or
psycho- neural circuits formed by the Mudras help in balancing
the five basic Elements (or building blocks).
The Thumb (Angusth)represents Fire (Agni), the Fore finger
(Tarjani) Vayu (Air), the Middle finger (Madhyama) Akash
(Space), the Third finger (Anamika) Prithvi (Earth) and the
Fourth finger (Kanishika) Jal (Water).
This balancing of the tension and redirection of the internal
energy effects the changes in veins, tendons, glands and sensory
organs to bring the body back to a healthy state.
Mudras never generate an excess of energy, they simply seek an
optimal balancing of prana, much like a thermostat.
So next time you are Ailing, remember it may just be an instance
of mal adjusted prana and an innocuous sleight of hand could be
the cure
Here are some mudras which are useful in therapy. As mentioned
earlier there can be no end to the gains that may be had from
Mudras. While for most Mudras there are no restrict ions of
posture and time, others should not be performed without full
knowledge. In some cases, practice for longer periods or while
in a different posture or at the wrong time could even prove
harmful.

D uring the past issues we discussed a lot
about Vedic Astrology. In this issue I
wish to explain about Indian Astronomy
and Vedic Astrology. So to say the Indian
Astronomy is the oldest and even without
having a telescope, the ancient rishis,
sages and monks have predicted a lot about
the planets and stars. The modern day
scientists have scientifically proved that
all these ancient factors are the greatest
truths.
In India the first references to astronomy
are to be found in the Atharva Veda which
is dated around 2000 B.C. Vedic Aryans
in fact deified the Sun, Stars and Comets.
Astronomy was then interwoven with
astrology and since ancient times Indians
have involved the planets (called Graham)
with the determination of human fortunes.
Out of the nine planets some of the
planets are considered inauspicious. In the
working out of horoscopes (called Janma
kundali/Janma patra/horoscope/Vedic
astrological chart), the position of the
Navagrahas, seven planets plus Raaghu
and Kethu (mythical demons, evil forces)
was considered. The Janmakundali was a
complex mixture of science and system
of belief. But the concept was born out of
astronomical observations and perception
based on astronomical phenomenon. In

Though it should be admitted that with their unaided observations
with crude instruments, the astronomers in ancient India were
able to arrive at near perfect measurement of astronomical
movements and predict eclipses. Indian astronomers also
propounded the theory that the earth was a sphere. Aryabhatta
was the first one to have propounded this theory in the 5th century.
Another Indian astronomer, Brahmagupta estimated in the 7th
century that the circumference of the earth was 5000 yojanas. A
yojana is around 7.2 kms. Calculating on this basis we see that
the estimate of 36,000 kms as the earth’s circumference comes
quite close to the actual circumference known today.
There is an old Sanskrit Sloka (couplet) which is as follows:
“Sarva Dishanaam, Surya, Surya, Suryaha.” This couplet means
that there are suns in all directions. This couplet which describes
the night sky as full of suns indicates that in ancient times Indian
astronomers had arrived at the important discovery that the stars
visible at night are similar to the Sun visible during day time.
In other words, it was recognized that the sun is also a star,
though the nearest one. This understanding is demonstrated in
another sloka which says that when one
sun sinks below the horizon, a thousand
suns take its place.
It was also recognized that this force
is a tractive force. The Sanskrit term
for gravity is Gurutvakarshan which
is an amalgam of Guru-tva-akarshan.
Akarshan means to be attracted. Thus
the fact that the character of this force
was of attraction was also recognized.
This apart, it seems that the function of
attracting heavenly bodies was attributed
to the sun. The term Guru-tva-akarshan
can be interpreted to mean, ‘to the
attracted by the Master”. The sun was
recognized by all ancient people to be
the source of light and warmth. Among
the Aryans the sun was highly honored. The sun (Surya) was
one of the chief deities in the Vedas. He was recognized as the
source of light (Dinkara), source of warmth (Bhaskara). In the
Vedas he is also referred to as the source of all life, the centre of
creation and the centre of the spheres.
The last statement is suggestive of the sun being recognized as
the centre of the universe (solar system). The idea is that the sun
was looked upon as the power that attracts heavenly bodies. He
is supported by the virile terms like Raghupati and Aditya used
in referring to the sun. While the male gender is applied to refer
to the sun, the earth (Prithivi, Bhoomi, etc.,) is generally referred
to as a female. The literal meaning of the term Gurutvakarshan
also supports the recognition of the heliocentric theory, as the
term Guru corresponds with the male gender, hence it could
not have referred to the earth which was always referred to as
a female.
Many ancient Indian astronomers have also referred to the
concept of heliocentrism. Aryabhatta has suggested it in his
treatise Aryabhattiya. Bhaskaracharya has also made references
to it in his Magnum Opus Siddhanta-Shiromani. All these were
based only on Atharva Veda. But it has to be conceded that the
heliocentric theory of gravitation was also developed in ancient
times (i.e. around 500 B.C.) by Greek astronomers.
What supports the contention that it could have existed in India
before the Greek astronomers developed it, is that in Vedic
literature the Sun is referred to as the ‘centre of spheres’ along
with the term Guru-tva-akarshan which seemingly refers to
the sun. The Vedas are dated around 3000 B.C. to 1000 B.C.
Thus the heliocentric idea could have existed in a rudimentary
form in the days of the Atharva Veda and was refined further by
astronomers of a later age. lndian Astronomers like Aryabhatta
and Varahamihira who lived between 476 and 587 A.D. made
close approaches to the concept of Helicentrism.
In the Surya-Siddhanta, an astronomical text dated around 400
A.D., the following appellations have been given to the sun.
“He is denominated the golden wombed (Hiranyagarbha), the
blessed; as being the generator”. He is also referred to as “The
Siddhi Times USA 21

supreme source of light (Jyoti) upon the border of darkness - he
revolves. Being the creator of creatures He is bringing out the
beings from darkness to light. The Surya-Siddhanta also says
that “Bestowing upon him the scriptures (Vedas) as gifts and
establishing him within the egg as grandfather of all worlds,
he himself then revolves causing existence”. The next ancient
science is Indian Vedic Astrology. Indian Vedic Astrology is
considered to be one of the oldest, most accurate and consistent
form of astrology all over the world. It is a natural cosmic
science based on real astronomy. In India, where Astrology is
taken very seriously, it is one of the most important gifts to the
Indian culture. Indian Vedic Astrology is generally regarded to
be very predictive in nature and hence, it helps an individual
to face the future in a better way, evading any misfortunes or
obstacles that might be laid down in the path to success.
The ancient Vedas which are said to be the oldest religious
literature available has references to this science. “Jyothisha
or Astrology” is one of the limbs of the “Vedas” which date
back to 1500 B.C. Hindus were the original masters who had
the thorough knowledge of astronomy and many rituals and
religious rites were related to the position of planets and their
motions. Long before Kepler, Copernicus, Brahe, Galileo and
other galaxy of astronomers were born, the Hindu sages had
already gained much knowledge on the stellar or planetary
universe.
Indian Astrology has three main branches of study. They are
Siddanta, Samhita and Hora.
Siddantas are those who devote to astronomical study of
celestial bodies Samhitas deal with mundane astrology, earth
quakes, floods, volcanic eruptions, rainfall, weather conditions
economic conditions and effects of sunspots. The next and the
very important branch is the Phalitha Jyothisha or Hora, which
concentrates on the system of predictions. This branch has six
Siddhi Times USA 22
sub-divisions, namely, Jathaka, Gola, Prasna, Nimitta, Muhurta
and Ganitha. I wish to give you a briefing about Indian Vedic
Astrology in a nut-shell. Then anybody can easily understand
what Vedic Astrology is. The Indian astrology study consists
of 27 constellations, in 12 lunar mansions. The movements of
two luminaries Sun and Moon, five major planets (Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Venus and Mercury) and the two nodal points of the
Moon i.e., Raaghu and Kethu are considered and their positions
are marked. The extra Saturnine planets like Pluto, Neptune and
Uranus are not recognized by the Indian Astrology Above all,
Moon is taken as very important planet for predictions though it
is satellite of earth. The Moon, at the time of birth is found in a
particular position or in a particular star and it will be taken as
the star of the person born. This star will be used for finding out
the major and sub-periods of the person in his life.
Now let me tell the utilities and benefits of Indian Vedic
Astrology.
1. To predict the future events.
2. To match the birth-charts of the couple at the time of marriage
for a successful married life.
3. To provide a Life reading containing issues of a person’s
personal life.
4. To find out the Muhurath (best time) to start any auspicious
ceremony.
5. To determine which stars are affecting one’s life.
6. To provide a remedy for your problems.
All the aforesaid things are just hints. The planetorial position
will change according to the Individual horoscopes. To know

are different from one’s own qualities.

Love astrology deals with finding and holding some one worth
loving through the use of Astrology and planets. Universe is the
greatest university; it is here that we are to learn how to love;
that we may be healthy and happy. We create our own sadness or
happiness. Study of Love Astrology is the confirming evidence
that nature does not do things haphazardly.

Love Astrology is a complex scientific art; much can be

determined about a person by merely knowing his or her Sun or
moon sign. It indicates the position of the moon at the time of
your birth in relation to one of twelve zodiac sign. Knowing your
moon sign and your lover’s Moon sign, can tell you much about
each other’s natural tendencies and about your compatibility as
a romantic duo. There are twelve moon signs in the zodiac. They
are Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio,
Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Now let us see the
Love compatibility between the moon signs.

The Aries Lover (April 13th to May 14th)

Male: This lover is extremely frank, menthe in love, of practical
views and lasting affection; demands your best at all times. He

well to kind treatment. A domestic bird, he loves the home.
Female: Your lover is of doubting nature but anxious to lead a
happy domestic life. Sincere in love and peace loving, social,
and affectionate are the specialties of Female Taurus.
The Gemini Lover (15th June to 14th July)
Male: Your lover feels that variety is the life. He makes quick
friendships, finds fault with others and loses them, so he cannot
find a permanent friend. He is the most difficult lover to hold
and keep. He cannot be understood easily. He is calculating and
cynical in love. Do not ask for any commitment from him. The
best way to arouse him is to become disinterested in him yet
friendly. He is quite impersonal.
Female: She is intelligent and wants mental companionship
and is more interested in outside activities even after marriage.
She cannot tolerate any opposition to her wishes and plans and
cannot easily be imposed upon. If such a situation arises she can

Male: Yours is an ideal lover, romantic, fiery in passions but
sincere and faithful in love. To show love publicly is below his

their lovers. They have everlasting I but need to be kept under

to be law.
The Virgo Lover (16th September to 15th October)
Male: They give more importance to intelligence than pleasure

full of surprises.
Female: They
are intelligent,
wise, of

Female: These women enjoy life if their partner shows equally

genuine affection and deep love. They suddenly lose their temper
and pounce upon spouse or lover without caring for his position,
women should learn to avoid this in order to lead a harmonious
life. They are very passionate and ardent in love.

The Sagittarius (15th December to 13th January)

Male: This is the most lovable for a sex being an expert in love
affairs, yet sincere and affectionate. Your lover has charming
manners, dress and fashion-conscious and attracts the opposite
sex. His passions rise and die quickly. He has compromising

Male: Their love of freedom and independence can cause

a problem if you are a jealous or a possessive lover. To have
friendships with all is their basic trait. He is more interested in
an outdoor life than the home and family life. This lover has
expensive tastes, encompassing vast visions, with a belief in
spontaneous luck. They love to travel for business, adventure or
social work, etc.

nature. You should be sophisticated, well

groomed and tactful to enjoy life most with
him. He is a lazy lover, unconcerned with
practical details of life.

wise, also passionate in nature. They love
and adore their partner. They are fond of
dress, music, restaurants and clubs, etc., but
they cannot be imposed upon. Emotional

will make a good wife.

Male: They are not emotional but slow and cautious and not at all
bold in approaching the opposite sex. They are not demonstrative
in love, so in case you are looking for a dependable, sturdy and
practical lover, he is the right man. They are materialistic and
often overlook their love and affection for the sake of money.
They do not like public display of affection.
Female: They are much attached to the home and family and are
dutiful to children. They do not display their love and hate any
adverse publicity or any hint of discord in their private life. They
are conservative in their outlook, and reserved in their behavior.
The Aquarius Lover (13th February to 12th March)
Male: Being intelligent, they prefer an intelligent partner. This
Siddhi Times USA 26
sexy, intelligent and cosmopolitan lover may seldom be available
to be with you alone. He is popular and very much in demand.
Some of these lovers like loving to be on a romantic and yet
impersonal basis. They have permanent and strong attachments.
They do not show their love.
Female: They are unconventional. If they find that their partner is
not up to their standards, they will not hesitate to satisfy themselves
by changing the partner. Otherwise they will cooperate fully.
Family and home are not always important to them.
The Pisces Lover (13th Mars to 12th April)
Male: They remain attracted to the romantic life and prefer beauty
in the partner. They can be suspicious by nature, which kills their
love but they also like flattery. They have their own dream world,
one that is private and requires solitude. The need to be alone is
very strong with them and they are also intelligent.
Female: They are suspicious by nature, romantic and passionate.
They are over-liberal and very generous which should be avoided,
so that they should not fall victim to bad social elements and
tendencies and ruin their lives. Sweet-tempered, polite and social,
they can be led away by fancies.
The entire aforesaid are only hints. This will vary according to the
individual’s horoscope. To know more and more about individual

The effort to root out the huge international
conspiracy against the Hindu Temple of
Georgia and Swamiji Sri. Selvam Siddhar
is now getting up to full speed and coming
to a climax.
By now the readers of Siddhi Times are
fully aware of the conspiracy against the
Hindu Temple of Georgia: conspirators
orchestrated an unrelenting scheme to
attack the famous Hindu Temple of
Georgia, and now they are badly wanted
by Indian law enforcement authorities.
The Hindu Temple of Atlanta is a Hindu
Temple located in Riverdale, Georgia,
just south of Atlanta. After approximately
28 years of its inception, its construction
is still not completed, even though it has
more than approximately 30 physicians
as members, trustees, or followers. The

board members, headed by the great
physician, Dr. Ravi Sharma, apparently
could not tolerate the rapid growth of the
Hindu Temple of Georgia, and started
supporting the criminal conspirators, as
understood by Indian law enforcement
officials.
Last year, the now former-president,
Dr. Ravi Sharma, came forward in the
mainstream press and gave his most
learned opinion about how a Hindu
Temple and a Swamiji should be living.
However, this immense critic is not so
interested in following his own advice!
Last month his temple performed a large
Sudarshana Sahasranama Parayanam in
a large shopping mall in Norcross Georgia
which is very popular with the local
Indian-American community. This was
done directly adjacent to where tons of
alcoholic beverages and all kinds of meats
are served. Now this is also the same
mall where another three smaller Hindu
Temples are permanently located. The
thoughtful board members of those Temple
are also forcing the Gods to endure the
smell of meat and alcohol every day, from
morning Arathi to night Arathi, but this
apparently this doesn’t bother Dr. Sharma
and his selectively critical eye. Indeed, it
seems that they advocate two completely
different views: on for the Hindu Temple
of Georgia and Swamiji Sri. Selvam, and
another which is applicable to Dr. Sharma
and the Hindu Temple of Atlanta.

these conspirators, when he wrote along

may be issued to arrest these Indian leaders .Wow! What a great
service he has accomplished for his temple and his community!

They do not even know how to limit their inside politics and
group fights to themselves. Instead, Dr. Ravi Sharma stood
ready to accuse an innocent great soul living miles away. He
commented that there are “no Swamijis living as millionaires!”
That shows to most Indians that he is obviously lying merely to
defame someone. We Indians know of lots of Swamijis who are
living in India as multi-millionaires, even as billionaires! Before
he proclaims an “authoritative” statement about someone else’s
life, he ought to make sure he knows what the truth is, especially
when he hypocritically applies his standards so unevenly.

His very own temple hosted a Lady Swamini, by the name

Swamini Karunamai, who always shows up in the crowd with
thick make up, custom made dresses, expensive cars, and lives a
millionaire’s life in India. They also brought in a self-proclaimed
Breathing Master, Sri. Ravishankar, who most of the time, wears
custom made silk clothing, and sports jet black dyed hair. He also
lives a millionaire’s life in both Canada and India!

Some of the supporters of the magazine which published the

defaming story about Swamiji are also followers of a man called
DR. Ravi Sharma - Past president HinduTemple of Atlanta Jaggi Vasudev. He is from Coimbatore, India, where Swamiji Sri.

motives and has inadvertently
become part of the conspiracy
now. After more of my undercover
investigations are over, Watch for
the next issue of the Siddhi Times
USA, to find out how involved
we believe that Dr. Ravi Sharma
has become, willingly speaking
out against practices which the
Hindu Temple of Georgia publicly
acknowledges on its website!

The television reporter helped the

from the owners of the Lakshmi group
of industries. He is living as a millionaire
now, and he also wears custom made silk
dress, uses expensive cars, advertises
on thousands of flex boards, and has a
magazine for a mouthpiece, even though
thousands of people complain about him
and his questionable practices. Its believed
that, he makes at least two world wide trips
every year. It is the famous attorney Mr. A.
P. Jayachandran, who saved this Sadguru
Jaggis Vsudeva from being behind bars
for the rest of his life. However, even
though it is believed that he was the first
Swamiji to advertise his lecture series on
bill boards in Atlanta, it now seems that
a whole part of world has forgotten all
about these things and this Sadguru, Jaggi
Vsudeva, who is believed to be the Guru
for Khabar’s owners.
There is another Indian Lady Swamini
whose next male assistant fled with
numerous lady followers of this Mother
Lady. This so called Swamiji who sexually
abused countless women. He claimed that
he was Lord Krishna and he was the power
behind the so called mother, who was
direct boss. Yet, there was not fired! The
so called mother hugs everyone. That’s
her business strategy. However, why is
this male, so called Swamiji, always with
her and claiming to be her right hand man
hugging lot of ladies in the night time in
a private setting? Probably, so that he
can personally hug so many ladies in his
bedroom!
And also there is another prominent
Hindu leader named Saibaba. Numerous
complaints about his questionable practices
are all over the internet. However, it
looks like Dr. Ravi Sharma and his board
Members of Hindu Temple of Atlanta do
not have a clue about any of the above
happenings in the world. Instead, they
focus on the Hindu Temple of Georgia and
try to create discord.
When a television reporter wanted to
telecast a scandalous story about the Hindu
Temple of Georgia and he wanted a local
Hindu temple president to speak badly
against the Hindu Temple of Georgia, Dr.
Ravi Sharma was all too happy to oblige!
So with the support of the conspirators,
this unwarranted story was easily
achieved. Swamiji Sri. Selvam, however,
has never talked to television stations or
any mainstream, national media about the
problems at the Hindu Temple of Atlanta.
It is said in the Vedas, “Nathi Moolam” and
“Rishi Moolam Ariyathe,” which means,
never dig to see the beginning of a river,
or of Swamijis, for you would loose your
interest in those subjects completely, and
you will start hating those subjects. Most
of the Tamil speaking people understand
what this means. Just talk to someone
who speaks this Indian Language, and
they will be able to explain to you very
clearly the meaning of this proverb.
Dr Ravi Sharma of Hindu Temple of
Atlanta is a physician, and most of
his co-trustees are physicians. Yet, he
seems intent on injuring and defaming
zthe Hindu Temple of Georgia and
Swamiji. This is purely nothing but
jealousy and irritation over someone
else’s growth. Even the television
reporter that Dr Ravi Sharma spoke
with was biased. However, he probably
doesn’t understand that he was merely
used by the conspirators for their own
three conspirators and now they are
facing numerous criminal cases, and
he has made them internationally
wanted by law enforcement in
India.
He enabled two priests who are accused of
stealing a large amount of cash from the
temple to slander the Swamiji on television.
Finally by the blessings of the almighty,
those two accused thieves are arraigned
in a high profile “attempted murder” case,
along with four more separate criminal
cases! They will indeed be very busy
coming and going almost every week to
the criminal court.
These events are not great spiritual
achievements, but are a matter the
conspirators should be ashamed of. I
should say that all the shame goes mainly
to the three Indian-American guys, who
encouraged these priests to embezzle
the money and helped them attempt
to escape justice by fleeing the United
States. However, they made a serious
miscalculation. The $16,200.00 stolen by
the priests is not money that belonged to a
Swamiji, or any human being, it was Lord
Shiva’s money! It is very clearly stated in

It is inevitable that evil-minded humans
always think evil thoughts, and the good-

Consider the Hindu Temple of Atlanta’s
recent big ten day celebration. They
informed their followers that they had 2,000
people visit their Temple during those ten
days. That works out to be an average of
200 people per day. Now, it was announced
by a television reporter last year, that there
are 50,000 Indian families living in Atlanta
and approximately 100,000 Indians live in
Georgia. If that is true, then only 2% (or
less*) of the Indian population visited this

That seems strange, doesn’t it? If the
Hindu Temple of Georgia was superior
to the Hindu Temple of Georgia, why not
have 80 or 90 percent of the local Indian
population to come and visit?
It is said by Swamiji Selvam Siddhar,
that “you will live according to your
thoughts.” Sometimes it is said, “Clean
your own hind parts, before you worry
about someone else’s.” Consequently,
it seems that the thoughts have affected
the lives of the thinkers. The great Lord
Balaji and Lord Shiva, after the great
ten day festival, have given their fullest
blessings to the board members of Hindu
Temple of Atlanta: many of the Hindu
Temple of Atlanta board members stand
criminally accused in the Indian courts,
and those accused are facing a series of
criminal charges which could result in
long term imprisonment in Indian jail if
they are convicted.
Yes, the board members of Hindu Temple
of Atlanta are indicted and have been issued
their very own criminal summons! They
need to appear for the trial of their criminal
case with the owners of Khabar Magazine.
International flights from Atlanta to India
will be crowded with these people every
month. Anyway, buying tickets in advance
is a good business decision to get a good
deal on the flight to Chennai and then on
to Coimbatore.

whereas God gives punishment after waiting for some time.
Finally, Lord Shivji has started his RUDRA THANDAVAM (the
angry dance).

ashamed by their actions, but will not let their actions prevent us

the god with the greatest anger. He does not care about himself,
but he will get the worst anger if his devotee is troubled. The
Veda calls him Rudra, which means the person with the greatest
anger. In the Yajur Veda, Sri. Rudra starts its praises to Lord Shiva
as, “Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya. Namasthe Rudra manyave
utho tha ishave namaha.” The meaning of these verses is: My
salutations to Rudra. My salutations to the anger of Rudra.

So, the anger of Lord Shiva cannot be valued. Now he has

There are many problems in a human’s life. Out of all those
problems anger is the worst. If one gets angry everything will be
spoiled. That’s why Swamiji Selvam Siddhar always used to tell
“Shanti”. As a Swamiji and scholar of Atharva Veda he always
love and peace. He has helped and he is helping lot of people
to come out of anger. According to Atharva Veda and Atharva
Vedic Astrology the planets are the only reason for anger and
anger related problems. Before going deep into the subject let
us see what anger is and what all the side effects of anger are.
Anger is a normal and basic human emotion. Anger problems
are likely causing difficulty in family, social and/or occupational
settings. Depending on how it is managed and expressed, anger
can have positive or negative consequences. Awareness of angry
feelings can be helpful as it can signal when one’s rights are
being violated or one’s needs are being ignored by others. Anger
can also help to energize and motivate us to work to address
problems with another person or to change the life situation.
However, there are potential negative consequences of anger
when it is not managed or expressed appropriately or effectively.
Some people are chronically angry at others, or at themselves.
Often, angry people were criticized or abused themselves
earlier in life, and react to others in the same manner they were
treated. Prolonged or intense anger and frustration contributes
to physical conditions such as headaches, digestive problems,
high blood pressure and heart disease. Problems dealing with
angry feelings may be linked to psychological disorders such as
anxiety or depression. Angry outbursts can be a way of trying
to cope with unhappiness, or depressed feelings. Chronic anger
creates problems getting along with others, and can lead to
involvement in physically or emotionally abusive relationships.
Having “a short fuse” is often a factor in other problematic
behaviors such as “road rage,” accidents, and getting into verbal
or physical fights.
While some people openly rage, others have difficulty
acknowledging their anger and hold their feelings inside as they
Siddhi Times USA 34
avoid the issue that angers them. They may express anger in
a “passive-aggressive” way that can take the form of baiting
others, or frustrating them. People who express anger in a
passive-aggressive manner may fear hurting others or being “a
bad person” if they openly express negative feelings. However,
they usually end up damaging the relationship because other
people usually sense their anger on some level and begin
to build resentment toward them. People who are unable to
acknowledge anger in them often feel hurt by others’ hostility,
abusive behavior, or withdrawal from them.
Anger is frequently a result of frustration, or of feeling blocked
or thwarted from something we feel to be important. Anger
can also be a defensive response to underlying fear or feelings
of vulnerability or powerlessness. Many people with anger
problems are out of touch with signs that anger is building. Our
body gives us important clues to when we are angry, sometimes
before we are consciously aware of it. When anger builds, we
react as we do to stress. We may feel tension or stress in our
body as adrenaline is released, our breathing may quicken, or
our heart may start to beat faster.
The following are some possible signs of difficulty coping with
anger:
One feels (or fears) being out of control when he/she is angry.
One often feels tense, irritable or frustrated.
One finds himself/herself frequently gossiping or complaining
about others rather than speaking to them directly about what is
bothering him/her.
One frequently feels hurt or resentful that others treat him/her
unfairly.
One hurts others, especially those they care about, by demeaning
or putting them down, cursing at them, or being verbally abusive.
He/she ends up regretting something he/she said or did when
angry.
One takes out the anger on someone or something else rather
than the person or situation that is bothering him/her.
One has physically lashed out when angry (e.g. destroyed
property, hit someone, etc.).

One has lost or is in danger of losing a relationship, job, or
something else important because of his/her anger.
One has been arrested or has legal difficulties because of his/
her anger.
A
tharva Vedic way of controlling the wavering Minds
Many devotees of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar and the
readers of the magazine Siddhitimes are continuously
sending letters and emails to Swamiji to teach the techniques
to control the wavering mind. As per the requests of the readers
and devotees this article is being written. Before knowing the
methods to control the wavering mind one should know what is
meant by mind.
Mind refers to the aspects of intellect and consciousness
manifested as combinations of thought, perception, memory,
emotion, will and imagination, including all of the brain’s
conscious and unconscious cognitive processes. “Mind” is
often used to refer especially to the thought processes of reason.
Subjectively, mind manifests itself as a stream of consciousness.
There are many theories of the mind and its function. The earliest
recorded works on the mind are by Adi Shankara, Buddha,
Plato, Aristotle, and other ancient Greek, Indian and Islamic
One uses alcohol or drugs to try and calm his/her
emotions.
Others (e.g. friends, family, professors, academic
administrators, and bosses) have expressed
concern about his/her anger.
All these things happen only because of the
planets’ position in one’s horoscope. Sometimes
the black magic on one will also make the person
to get angry even for small and meager things and
happenings. In that condition the horoscope of the
effected person is to be scrutinized by Swamiji
Selvam Siddhar as per the standards of Atharva
Veda. Then the proper Atharva Veda Thantric
rituals are to be performed. By doing this one can
have the Atharva Vedic spiritual salvation of the
anger problem. To know more and more about
individual horoscope and to solve your problems

philosophers. These are all pre-scientific
theories, based in theology, concentrated
on the relationship between the mind
and the soul, the supernatural, divine or
god-given essence of the person. Modern
theories, based on scientific understanding
of the brain, theorize that the mind is a
product of the brain and has both conscious
and unconscious aspects.
Some argue that only the “higher”
intellectual functions constitute mind:
particularly reason and memory. In this
view the emotions - love, hate, fear, and
Siddhi Times USA 35
Siddhi Times USA 36
Siddhi Times USA 37
 in philosophy of mind. Some philosophers divide consciousness
into phenomenal consciousness, which is subjective experience
itself, and access consciousness, which refers to the global
availability of information to processing systems in the brain.
Hinduism’s various philosophical schools have debated
whether the human soul (atman) is distinct from, or identical to,
Brahman, the divine reality. Buddhism attempted to break with
such metaphysical speculation, and posited that there is actually
no distinct thing as a human being, who merely consists of five
aggregates, or skandhas.

Now let us come to the main question, How to control the

wavering mind? To keep the mind from wandering, Swamiji
Selvam Siddhar prescribes the following. Allow the mind
to wander. Only watch it. Be a witness to it. Very soon you
will realize that you have become a part of the mind, started
wandering with it and stopped observing it. At that point, do
not get agitated; just start observing the mind again. It is like
watching a child doing its pranks without reacting. The child
eventually feels embarrassed and stops. This child (mind) is
more obstinate. You will require more patience. Gradually learn
to observe your breath as you inhale and exhale. Then you could
use any mantra according to the power of the planets in your
horoscope. For the persons those who don’t have their date
of birth detail Swamiji Selvam Siddhar always prefers some
wonderful mantras based on “OM” or “SOHAM”. For the
joy - are more “primitive” or subjective in nature and should be

In popular usage mind is frequently synonymous with thought.
9393 ext -241- or email to avtemple@aol.com
It is that private conversation with ourselves that we carry on
“inside our heads.” Thus we “make up our minds,” “change our
minds” or are “of two minds” about something. One of the key
attributes of the mind in this sense is that it is a private sphere to
which no one but the owner has access. No-one else can “know
our mind.” They can only interpret what we consciously or
unconsciously communicate. Thought is a mental process which
allows an individual to model the world, and so to deal with
it effectively according to their goals, plans, ends and desires.
Words referring to similar concepts and processes include
cognition, idea, and imagination. Thinking involves the cerebral
manipulation of information, as when we form concepts, engage
in problem solving, reasoning and making decisions. Thinking
is a higher cognitive function and that’s why Swamiji Selvam
Siddhar always used to say “You will live according to your
thoughts”.

Memory is an organism’s ability to store, retain, and subsequently

recall information. Imagination is accepted as the innate ability
and process to invent partial or complete personal realms the
mind derives from sense perceptions of the shared world.
Consciousness (including humans) is an aspect of the mind
generally thought to comprise qualities such as subjectivity,
sentience, and the ability to perceive the relationship between
oneself and one’s environment. It is a subject of much research

Cyber Terrorism Update
Huge Criminal Case in India Against
Owners of Google in the US & Top Executives of
Google, India
&
Board Members of Hindu Temple of Atlanta, Riverdale,
GA & Owners and Employees of Khabar Magazine!
“Blogging” is a wonderful new phenomenon in this
modern age of cyberspace. It is a welcomed place for
one to create and share a lot of ideas to a broad spectrum
of readers the world over. However, it is also often used
by criminal conspirators to defame celebrities and other
important members of society. And sometimes it goes so
far as to be termed “Cyber Terrorism.” Many people have
even died as a result of this crime.
Two of the largest and best known platforms owned by
Google are Blogspot.com and Youtube.com. Consequently,
Siddhi Times USA 40
Google is defending numerous defamation cases all around
the world, including a criminal case against some of their
employees in Italy and India. The Italian Court is currently
considering a criminal case against top Google officials,
including their “Privacy Chief.” Google maintains offices
under the name of Google India Private, Ltd., in Delhi,
Bangalore, Hyderabad, and other cities. All are believed to
be managed by top IT executives and are under the direct
control of Google’s owners. Recently, a prominent Indian
Physician, Dr. Singh has instituted a civil and criminal case
against one employee of Google. However, a spokesperson
for Google India said in an emailed statement, “We are not
aware of this court case, but the blogs in question have
been removed following a court order. The said person,
Sundararaman K is no longer employed with Google
India.” Also in India, a Non-Bailable arrest warrant has
been issued recently against one of Google’s employees,
former head of sales, Mr. Sundararaman, who is now
working for Vodafone and Essar Cellular, Ltd. in Chennai,
India, (which is the state headquarters for Tamilnadu).
Many months back Hindu Temple of Georgia sent
requests to Google asking that they remove defamatory
and scandalous blogs from Youtube.com and Blogspot.
com that have been posted by conspirators. First, their
attorneys wrote a reply claiming that they were not clear

Judicial Magistrate Court- III, Coimbatore- India Judicial Magistrate Court- III, Coimbatore- India
about therequest. To the second request from the Temple,
they said that they could not do anything, and that they
were protected by “Freedom of Speech.” It was quite
interesting and comical that they would claim an American
constitutional right protected them in India! However,
possibly out of fear, they went ahead and filed a Caveat
Petition in the Madras High Court and another Caveat
Petition in the Coimbatore Court. The whole idea of the
Caveat Petition is that Hindu Temple of Georgia should
not take any action, or interim action, against them.
The biggest question that arises here is: What are they
going to loose by removing defamatory blogs from their
website? As a large internet media firm, their motive
would be obviously, the goal of bringing a lot of traffic to
their websites, with these types of blogs. When a celebrity
is defamed, it can create a lot of interest and drive visitors
to their web portals who are curious about what’s going
on. After all, there are a lot of evil minded, jealous, and
voyeuristic people who enjoy seeing others defamed,
or getting hurt, especially when it involves, celebrities,
politicians, and the wealthy. Such an increase in web
traffic would naturally serve to increase their advertising
revenues.
The final result, however, was that Google’s expert Indian

The Biggest Criminal Case Ever Against Most of the
Board Members of Hindu Temple of Atlanta
The Hindu Temple of Georgia is the most famous Hindu
Temple in the United States. Under the blessings of Swamiji
Selvam Siddhar, it was quickly the only Hindu Temple in
America with the highest number of full-time professional
servicing priests. This meteoric success attracted so much
Siddhi Times USA 41
 of followers of the Temple from all over the nation and
globally. They also called Temple followers by telephone
begging them to lodge complaints with governmental
authorities, or to come forward and file court cases against
the Temple.

This activity went on to unite with a local magazine named

“KHABAR”, which had rivalry issues with the Temple’s
magazine, Siddhi Times USA, because of its rapid national
success and global attention. The then president of one
of greater Atlanta’s Temples, Hindu Temple of Atlanta
joined the conspiracy and wrote a highly defamatory and
hypocritical article about the Hindu Temple of Georgia.
One should refrain from throwing stones when they live in
a glass house! Perhaps the article was to distract Atlanta’s
Hindu Community from the less than stellar situation
down at the Hindu Temple of Atlanta. Construction is still
not completed after approximately 28 years since their
inception, even with so many multi-millionaires and rich
Indian physicians being trustees, members, and directors!
Up to today, the Hindu Temple of Atlanta is still asking
for donations after donations. They even ask for money to
become a Trustee of their Temple! This clearly shows that
they themselves don’t have a trust on their trust.

It is certainly very unusual to ask for a conditional money

limelight that three Tamil speaking Indian guys in Atlanta
started attempting to extort money from the Temple board
by threatening to make a lot of false accusations. They
went on to use all kinds of free media to bombard with
defamatory emails, using a stolen database, thousands
payment to become a Trustee of a temple, and it is certainly
against Hindu agamas and philosophies; but in the Hindu
Temple of Atlanta, they are demanding $25,000.00 (which
is to be paid within a span of five years), and if anybody
fails to pay the money within the stipulated period of time,
the money they have already paid will be forfeited, and
they will have to give up the position of Trustee as well.
This sounds more like a shady consumer finance company

The Trust Board of The Hindu Temple of Atlanta most

likely got annoyed by the rapid growth and fame of the
Hindu Temple of Georgia. Below is a list of Hindu Temple
of Atlanta members with criminal charges pending against
them in India? The charges suggest that these people were
conspiring with each other was out of a criminally malicious
and libelous intent. That’s why I call it an organized
criminal conspiracy. In general, nobody should be jealous
of anybody else, especially those persons associated with
a temple, or any religious organization! And one should
certainly never bear jealousy towards others engaged
similar spiritual missions to benefit mankind. The laws
of karma and nature seem to have been overlooked and
corrupted here. Also, very sadly and shockingly, the three
conspirators actually physically attacked and beat up some
priests from the Hindu Temple of Georgia!

The Temple’s attorneys, who are investigating the whole

conspiracy, are now preparing proceedings against
the conspirators for business interference, organized
conspiracy, threatening phone calls, harassing phone
calls, defamation, slander, libel, battery, assault, theft, and 2009 to answer to the respective criminal charges against
malicious prosecution. One of the most bizarre facts in the them.

 beating the name and fame of Khabar, they were just
waiting for an opportunity to join in and put the Temple
and Swamiji down. They made good use of the three
guys’ attack against Swamiji; however, they made a slight
miscalculation in not understanding that they are going to
loose most of their advertising revenue in this conspiracy
case! Now almost all the owners and employees of Khabar
are facing a criminal conspiracy/defamation case in Indian
criminal court! Both the owners, and their wives, are facing
the criminal charges! Soon the trial to convict them should
get started. They need to present themselves, with their
unfortunate wives, in criminal court in India on August
28th, 2009. If they don’t, they are expected to be arrested
and reprimanded into Indian Law Enforcement’s custody
by the FBI for further criminal actions.

Public Deception and Imitation Websites
The three guys who were placing tons of defamatory blogs
were also sending emails containing links to defamatory
Youtube video postings were bombarding these emails to
followers of Swamiji, all over the world, by using a data
base stolen from The Hindu Temple of Georgia! They
were completely deceptive and misleading in this. They
went and created a new fictitious web site under the name
of FOX5-LIVE.COM with some suspects in India (Those
Indian suspects in India are under the Indian Crime branch
CID investigation now. Lot of chances for them to get
arrested very soon.) in order to look like it might be the real
Fox 5 television channel’s official website. They wanted
people will think that their emails are actually coming
from the FOX5 television family! In addition, the three
who were calling the followers with the stolen data base
were deceiving innocent people by using a private number
to block their identity. They were either pretending, or
implying, that they were calling from the FBI or from
some local police department!
Now the Hindu Temple of Georgia’s attorneys are on the
way to subpoena the telephone records of these conspirators
in order to prove this conspiracy in a crystal clear way to
the law enforcement authorities who have been extremely
reluctant to stop the conspirators. There was no legitimate
reason for the conspirators to call all the Temple followers,
as they did not have any business except to invite others
to join their conspiracy. The telephone numbers were
only known previously by the Temple’s staff until they
were stolen. Obviously, phone records would prove that
these calls went all over the nation to the Hindu Temple of
Georgia’s followers. These ill fated conspirators are going
to pay a big price very soon.
However, the conspiracy continued to grow. Latching on
to an unmerited opportunity, a few people, who needed
to pay the balance of their debt to the Temple, joined
in with the conspirators. The three guys had
called everyone who was sued, urging them to
file a counter claim. They were enticed with the
opportunity to escape their debts. And somehow,
something made them all go to the exact same
attorney! This is called willful interference with
business. These three guys apparently don’t
understand that their phone records can prove
their conspiratorial activities in a crystal clear
way to law enforcement! Anyway, the story gets
more interesting day by day! Just like an action
filled Hollywood movie! However, we Indians
should really be ashamed of these three criminal
conspirators, as well as any other wrongdoers
who discredit our community.
Meanwhile Back in India
Another interesting feature of this story is that one of
Valimiknathan Raghunathan’s brothers, named Dr.
Sankaran Raghunathan, has also been indicted in the same
criminal case and is being issued with a criminal summons
in Chennai, India where he lives. The latest news flash is that,
the attorneys representing Mr. Chandramohan Loganathan
was warned by the criminal court at Coimbatore, India that
he needs to be presented in the court at Coimbatore, without
fail, on the 14th of July, 2009. On hearing the argument of
the attorney for Chandra Mohan, Mr. Pappa, the judge,
got so annoyed that he ordered the attorney to present
Chandramohan in court on July 14th 2009, “without fail,”
according to the Temple’s Indian attorney.
Also it is rumored that soon, a new conspiracy lawsuit
against Chandramohan Loganathan, Ananthi Palamuthu
of Kumon in Kennesaw, Valmikinathan of Blueshift,
including his wife, Sundaram Raghunathan, and Vijaya
Sundaram are going to be sued by Atlanta attorneys Mr.
Alex Roberson and Ms. Stacy Ehrisman, but more about
that in another article.

case published in the next month’s Siddhi Times

During the past issues, by the
gracious blessings of the Almighty
and Swamiji, we discussed about
the Spirituality described in Vedas,
other great epics and sayings of
great sages and monks. In this issue
we will discuss a little bit about
the spirituality explained in the
great Upanishad named Mundaka
Upanishad.
Man is endowed with the special
instrument of discrimination, of judgment,
of analysis and synthesis, which among
all animals, he alone possesses. He has
to develop this and utilize it to the best
purpose. Through this instrument, he can
realize the Immanent Divinity. Instead,
man pesters himself and others with the
question: Where does God reside? If He
Siddhi Times USA 46
is real, why is He not seen? Hearing such
queries, one feels like pitying the poor
questioners. For, they are announcing
their own foolishness. They are like the
dullards who aspire for university degrees
without taking pains even to learn the
alphabet. They aspire to realize God
without putting themselves to the trouble
of practicing the Sadhana required. People
who have no moral strength and purity
talk of God and His existence and decry
efforts to see Him. Such people have no
right to be heard.
Spiritual Sadhana is based on the holy
Sastras. They cannot be mastered in a
trice. They cannot be followed through
talk. Their message is summed up in the
Upanishads; hence, they are revered as
authoritative. They are not the products
of human intelligence; they are the
whisperings of God to man. They are
parts of the eternal Vedas. The Vedas
shine gloriously through all their parts.
The Upanishads are authentic and
authoritative, as they share the glory of
the Vedas. They are 1180 in number,
but, through the centuries, many of them
disappeared from human memory and
only 108 have now survived. Of these, 13
have attained great popularity, as a result
of the depth and value of their contents.
The sage Vyasa classified the Upanishads
and allotted them among the four Vedas;
The Rig-Veda has 21 branches and each
branch has one Upanishad allotted to it.
The Yajur Veda has 109 branches and
109 Upanishads. The Atharva Veda has
50 branches and 50 Upanishads were its
share. The Sama Veda has a thousand
branches and the balance, namely, 1000
Upanishads were its share. Thus, the 1180
Upanishads were assigned by Vyasa to
the Four Vedas. Sankaracharya raised the
status of ten among the Upanishads by
selecting them for writing his commentaries
and so they became especially important.
Humanity stands to gain or fall by these
ten. All who are seeking human welfare
and progress through spirituality are now
apprehending whether even these ten
will be forgotten, for, neglecting them
will usher in moral and spiritual disaster.
There is no reason, however, for such
fears. The Vedas can never be harmed.
Pundits and those with faith should resolve
to present before humanity these ten
Upanishads at least. They are Isa, Kena,
Katha, Prasna, Mundaka, Mandukya,
Thaithiriya, Aithareya, Chandogya and
Brihadaranyaka. In this issue we well
discuss the spirituality explained in
Mundaka Upanishad.
The Upanishads have also inspired
other works on Geography, Astronomy,
Astrology, Economics and Political
Theory. The Vedas and the Upanishads
are the very foundation for Sanathana
Dharma and spirituality. There is one
interesting feature to be noted. The Hindu
religion has no one Founder as the others
have. That invisible unknown founder
is God, the source of all wisdom. He is
the Prophet of this Sanathana Dharma.
He is the Founder; His Grace and His
Inspiration manifested through the pure
Sages and they became the spokesmen
of this Dharma. When the moral purity of
men degenerates, God takes form as grace
and inspiration in sages and teachers. He
has also given through the Upanishads the
Sathya-Jnana, the Wisdom concerning
the Reality.
 the skin but is different from it, so too beings originate from
Brahmam. Brahmam causes the sun, moon, stars and planets to
revolve in space; Brahmam grants the consequence of all the acts
of beings. The Individual and the Universal are two birds sitting
on the same tree i.e., the human body. The Jivi (individual)
acts, and suffers the consequences of those acts. The Iswara
(universal) sits quiet, as a witness of the other bird. When the
Jivi looks at the Iswara and realizes that it is nothing but an
image, it escapes from grief and pain. When the mind is drawn
by yearning to know the Iswara, all other low desires diminishes
and disappears. Then, knowledge of Atma is attained. The last
mantra of this Upanishad declares that its aim is to make man
attain that Jnana. Munda means head; this Upanishad is the Head
of all Upanishads, we can say.

This Mundaka Upanishad begins with an Invocation, praying
that eye may see auspicious things, the ear may hear auspicious
sounds, and that life may be spent in the contemplation of the Lord.
The teaching of this Upanishad is referred to as Brahmavidya,
either because it describes first the message of Hiranyagarbha,
the casual Brahma, or because the message relates the glory
of Brahmam. This Upanishad speaks of Brahmavidya as the
mystery which only those with shaven heads and those who go
through a rite of having Fire on the shaven head can understand.
So, it is called Mundaka, or shaven Head. Apart from this, this
Upanishad is honored as the crest of all, since it expounds the
very essence of Brahma Jnana. It is assigned to the Fourth Veda,
the Atharva Veda.
It has three sections, with two chapters in each. In the first section,
the Aparavidya, and in the second, the Paravidya and the means
of mastering them are dealt with. In the third, the nature of the
Reality and of the release from bondage is defined. The Karma
that helps attain the Brahmam is denoted in the mantras. That is
why this Upanishad is respected as very sacred.
The spider, as already indicated, spins out the web from itself
without any extraneous agency; it also takes in the web it has
spun. So too, Creation was effected without an agent and the
Universe emanated. Heaven is the highest attainable stage
through Karma. Of such Karmas or rites, the worship of Fire
called Agnihotra is the chief. The performance of such rites
contributes to the cleansing of the mind. Such cleansing is a
necessary preliminary to Paravidya. The flames that rise high
from the sacrificial altar of fire appear to the performer as if

This knowledge has been handed down from teacher to pupil by

word of mouth, enriched and confirmed by experience; it is also
called Paravidya, the knowledge of the Other when it deals with
the attribute less Principle; when it deals with the attribute-full,
the Saguna, the materialized principle, it is called A-paravidya,
the knowledge of the Immanent, not the Transcendent aspect.
These are the two that are found in this Upanishad. They were
taught by Sage Saunaka to Sage Angirasa; that is what the text
announces. The Vedas and the Vedangas deal with Aparavidya.
The Upanishads deal specially with Para-vidya. But, the
interesting thing is: the Apara-vidya leads on to the Para, the
knowledge of Brahmam, which is the goal.

The spider evolves out of itself the magnificent manifestation

of the web; so too, this moving, changing world is manifested
from the causative Brahmam. The changing world is the product
of creator-creation complex. It is true and factual and useful, so
long as one is unaware of the Reality. The utmost that one can
gain by activity, that is to say, holy or sacred activity is Heaven
or Swarga, which has a longer lease of life, but, which has an
end in spite of it. So, the seeker loses all yearning for Heaven;
he/she approaches an elderly teacher full of compassion, who
instructs him/her in the discipline for realizing the Brahmam.

All beings are Brahmam and no other. They all do emanate

from Brahmam. As sparks emanate from fire, as hair grows on

Siddhi Times USA 47


they are hailing him on to realize the Reality or Brahmam. He
who does the rite with full awareness of the significance of the
mantra is able to reach the Solar Splendor, through the offerings
made; they take him to the region of Indra, the Lord of the Gods.
Only on this basis, Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar does a lot of fire
worship and he recommends fire worship named “Mahayajna”
to his devotees, who need more and more powers.
The Upanishad recommends two types of obligatory Karmas:
Ishta and Poortha. The rite of Agnihotra, adherence to Truth,
Thapas or Asceticism, Veda-adhyayanam or study of the
Vedas, the service offered to guests in one’s home - these are
Ishta; construction of temples, caravan-series, rest-houses,
tanks, planting of avenue trees - such acts are Poortha. These
give consequences that are beneficial but, all such cause-effect
chains are transient, they are fundamentally defective. The entire
Creation is bound up with name and form and so unreal. It can
be described in words and so, limited and circumscribed by the
intellect and the mind. The Paramapurusha, the Supreme Person
alone is eternal, real, and pure. He is the prompter of activity
and the dispenser of consequence. But, He is beyond the eye,
beyond the intellect. Like the spokes of a wheel that radiate
from the hub, that lead from all directions to the centre, all
creation radiates from Him.
To reach the central hub and know that all spokes radiate from
it, the mind is the instrument. Brahmam the target is to be
reached by the arrow-mind. Have your mind fixed on the target
and using the Upanishadic teaching as the bow, shoot straight
and hard, to hit the Brahmam and master. That is to say, the
Pranava or the OM is the arrow; Brahmam is the target. As
aforesaid the mind and thoughts are the base for an individual’s
development. That’s why Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar often
says as “you will live according to your thoughts”.
The Brahmam illumines the Jivi by getting reflected in the
Siddhi Times USA 48
inner consciousness or Anthah-karana. One has only to turn
that consciousness away from the objective world, contact with
which contaminates the mind. Now, train the inner consciousness
to meditate on the OM, with single-pointed attention. Meditate
on the Atma as unaffected by the Jivi, though in him and with
him and activating him. Meditate on Him in the heart, from
which radiate countless nadis, subtle nerves, in all directions. If
this process is followed, one can attain Jnana or Wisdom. The
Universe is an instrument to reveal the majesty of God. The
inner firmament in the heart of man is also equally a revelation
of His Glory. He is the Breath of one’s breath. Since He has
no specific form, He cannot be indicated by words. Nor can
His mystery be penetrated by the other senses. He is beyond
the reach of asceticism, beyond the bounds of Vedic rituals.
He can be known only by an intellect that has been cleansed of
all trace of attachment and hatred, of egoism and the sense of
possession.
Jnana alone can grant self-realization. Dhyana can confer
concentration of the faculties; through that concentration, Jnana
can be won, even while in the body. The Brahmam activates
the body through the five vital airs or Pranas. It condescends to
reveal itself in that same body as soon as the inner consciousness
attains the requisite purity. For the Atma is immanent in the
senses, inner and outer, as heat in fuel and as butter in milk.
Now, the consciousness is like damp fuel, soaked in the foulness
of sensory desires and disappointments. When the pool in the
heart becomes clear of the slimy overgrowth, the Atma shines
in its pristine splendor. He who acquires the knowledge of this
Atman is to be revered. For, he is liberated. He has become
Brahmam that which he strove to know and be.
Man is essentially divine. However, he believes himself to be
an individual, limited and temporary, because he is entangled in
the characteristics of the Five Elements, namely, Sound, Touch,
Form, Taste and Smell. This error brings about joy and grief, good
and bad, birth and death. To escape from this association with
the Elements, to rid oneself of the pulls of their characteristics, is
the sign of Liberation, called in Sanskrit as Kaivalya, Moksha or
Mukthi. Names may change; but the achievement is the same.
While entangled in the Five Elements, man is attracted, distracted

or disappointed by them; all this causes distress. Wealth,
possessions - vehicles, buildings - all these re transmutations of
the elements. Man craves for them; when he loses them or fails
to get them, he spurns them. Let us take the Five Elements, one
by one. The living being has the first one, the Earth, as its base.
Water, the second, is the basis for the earth. Water is produced
from Fire, the third element, Fire itself emanating from Wind,
the fourth. Wind or Vayu arises from Ether, or Akasa. Akasa
emerges from the Primal Nature and the Primal Nature is but
the manifestation of one aspect of the majesty of God, or the
Supreme Sovereign Atma, the Paramatma.
Seeking to reach that Paramatma, the source and core of the
Universe, the Individual or Jivi, who has entangled himself in
the elements, has to overcome, by discrimination and steady
practice of detachment, the bonds one by one; such a person
is a Sadhaka; he who wins in this struggle is the Jivan-muktha,
‘Liberated even while alive.’
qualified Monism. The human eye cannot delve into the minute
or the magnitudinous. It cannot read the mystery of the virus or
the atom or the stellar universe. Therefore, scientists supplement
the eye with the telescope and the microscope. Similarly, sages
are able to experience Divinity through the eye of knowledge,
gained by following the Dharma of moral conduct and spiritual
discipline. When the human eye stands in need of an extraneous
instrument to observe even the insignificant worm and virus,
how can one refuse to go through the process of mantra if he
desires to see the omnipresent transcendent Principle? It is very
hard to acquire the eye of wisdom. Concentration is essential
for this. And, for concentration to develop and stabilize itself,
three things are very important: purity of consciousness, moral
awareness and spiritual discrimination. These qualifications are
difficult of attainment by ordinary folk.
We should read at least the basic teachings of the Upanishads
and try to practice the spirituality taught in those holy
scriptures. By practicing the spirituality we all can lead a
comfortable life. There is no caste, creed, region and religion
for practicing spirituality. I thank Almighty and Swamiji for
blessing me with an opportunity to share my thoughts one
spirituality. I pray the Almighty and Swamiji to bless me with
more and more opportunities like this to share my thoughts on
spirituality.

For the exercise of such discrimination and for the visualization

of one’s innate reality, one has to study the Upanishads. They
are collectively called Vedanta. They form the Jnana kanda
of the Vedas, the section that deals with the Higher Wisdom.
Liberation from the consequences of Ignorance can be secured
only by Knowledge or Jnana. The Upanishads themselves
declare, “Jnaanaad eva thu kaivalyam”: “By Knowledge alone
can freedom be won.”

The term Upanishad denotes the study and practice of the

innate truth: the term, Brahmavidya, denotes the supremacy
of spiritual contemplation; the term, Yogasastra denotes the
mental churning that brings success. What is the fundamental
activity which is required of man? What is the basic thing to be
known? It is only one’s basic reality. The Upanishads describe
the various stages and the various modes of this search for
realizing this. The name is full of significance. ‘Upa’ means
the process of studying with ‘Nishta’ or steadfastness; ‘shad’
means the attainment of the Ultimate Reality. The name Upa-ni-
shad arose for these reasons. The Upanishads teach not only the
principles of Atmavidya; they indicate also the practical means
of realization. They point out not only the duties and obligations
one has to bear, but also the actions to be done and those to be
avoided.

So, whether it is the Gita or the Upanishads or any holy and

spiritual teachings, the teaching is Non-duality, not Duality, or

I owned five houses. All of a sudden, I was driven to the worst situation
of selling all of those houses. After reading the magazine Siddhitimes
through the website I contacted Swamiji Siddhar to know the reasons
and to stop selling the houses. He analyzed my horoscope and found
the reasons for this. He also performed Atharva Vedic Thantric rituals.
By his powers, I got many helps from un-foreseen persons. By that the
selling of the houses were avoided. I pledge my lifetime for the service
of Swamiji Sri Siddhar and his magazine Siddhitimes.

Lord Rama or Ramachandra is the seventh avatar of Vishnu
in Hinduism and a legendary king of Ayodhya in ancient
India. Hindus do not doubt his historicity, and consider him
an actual king who ruled over a large part of India from his
capital Ayodhya.
Rama is one of the many popular figures and deities in
Hinduism, specifically Vaishnavism. Most of the details of
Rama’s life come from the Ramayana, one of the two great
epics of India. Born as the eldest son of Kaushalya and
Dasharatha, king of Ayodhya, Rama is referred to within
Hinduism as Maryada Purushottama, literally the Perfect
Man or Lord of Restrictions. Rama is the husband of Sita,
who Hindus consider to be an Avatar of Lakshmi and the
embodiment of perfect womanhood.
Rama’s life and journey is one of perfect adherence to
dharma despite harsh tests of life and time. He is pictured
as the ideal man and the perfect human. For the sake of
his father’s honor, Rama abandons his claim to Kosaulya’s
throne to serve an exile of fourteen years in the forest. His
wife, Sita and brother, Lakshmana being unable to live
without Rama decide to join him, and all three spend the
fourteen years in exile together. This leads to the kidnapping
of Sita by Ravana, the Rakshasa (Asura) monarch of Lanka.
After a long and arduous search that tests his personal
strength and virtue, Rama fights a colossal war against
Ravana’s armies. In a war of powerful and magical beings,
greatly destructive weaponry and battles, Rama slays
Ravana in battle and liberates his wife. The battle between
Rama and Ravana is considered as “the battle between
dharma and adharma”. Having completed his exile, Rama
returns to be crowned King in Ayodhya (the capital of his
Kingdom) and eventually becomes Emperor of the World,
after which he reigns for eleven thousand years – an era of
perfect happiness, peace, prosperity and justice known as
Rama Rajya.
Rama’s younger brothers, namely Lakshmana, Shatrughna
and Bharata strongly complement his piety, virtue and
strength. Rama’s piety and virtue attracted powerful
and devoted allies such as Hanuman and the Vanaras of
Kishkindha. Rama is revered for his unending compassion,
courage and devotion to religious values and duty. This

Pranayama is a Sanskrit word meaning
“restraint of the prana or breath”. The
word is composed of two Sanskrit words,
“Prana”, life force, or vital energy,
particularly, the breath, and “ayama”, to
suspend or restrain. It is often translated
as control of the life force (prana). When
used as a technical term in yoga, it is often
translated more specifically as “breathe
control”. Literal translations include
“suspension of breath” and “regulation of
breath”.

Prana and lifestyle:
Lifestyle has a profound impact on the
pranamaya kosa and its pranas. Physical
activities such as exercise, work, sleep,
intake of food and sexual relations, all
affect the distribution and flow of prana
in the body. Faculties of the mind such as
emotion, thought and imagination affect
the pranic body even more. Irregularities
in lifestyle, dietary indiscretions and
stress, deplete and obstruct the pranic
flow. Depletion of energy in a particular
prana leads to the devitalisation of the
organs and limbs it governs and ultimately
to disease or metabolic dysfunction. The
techniques of pranayama reverse this
process, energizing and balancing the

 6. Clothes: Loose, comfortable clothing made of natural fibers
should be worn during the practice.

7. Bathing: Take a bath or shower before commencing the

practice, or at least wash the hands, face and feet. Do not take a
bath for at least half an hour after the practice to allow the body
temperature to normalize.

8. Empty stomach: Wait at least three to four hours after meals

before starting pranayama.

9. Diet: A balanced diet or protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins

and minerals is suitable for most pranayama practices. A
combination or grains, pulses, fresh fruit and vegetables, with a
little milk product if necessary, is recommended.

10. Avoid strain: With all pranayama practices it is important to

The spiritual seeker, however, also requires tranquility of mind
as an essential prelude to spiritual practice. To this end, many
pranayama techniques utilize kumbhaka, breath retention, to
establish control over the flow of prana, calming the mind and
controlling the thought process. Once the mind has been stilled
and prana flows freely in the nadis and charkas, the doorway to
the evolution of consciousness opens, leading the aspirant into
higher dimensions of spiritual experience.
However, for those who seriously wish to take up the advanced
practices of pranayama, the guidance of a guru or experienced
teacher is essential. Here are some basic tips.
1. Breathing: Always breathe through the nose and not the
mouth unless specifically instructed otherwise. The nose should
be cleaned regularly by jala neti prior to the practice session.
Jala Neti is nothing but cleaning the nostrils with pure water.
2. Time of practice: The best time to practice pranayama is
during the early morning when the body is fresh and the mind
has very few impressions. If this is not possible, another good
time is just after sunset. Try to practice regularly at the same
time and place each day.
remember that the instruction not to strain, not to try to increase
your capacity too fast, applies, just as it does to asana practice.
Breath retention should only be practiced for as long as is
comfortable.
11. Contra-indications: Pranayama should not be practiced
during illness, although simple techniques such as breath
awareness and abdominal breathing in Shavasana may be
performed.
Simply by knowing these simple techniques some people are
minting money. So to say they are looting money from the
public. The ignorance of the public is much used by some
people using the name as Guruji and Sri Sri. To know more

or email to avtemple@aol.com

3. Place of practice: Practice in a quiet, clean and pleasant

room, which is well ventilated but not draughty. Generally,
avoid practicing in direct sunlight. As the body will become
over heated, except at dawn when the soft rays of the early
morning sun are beneficial.

4. Sitting position: A comfortable, sustainable meditation

posture is necessary to enable efficient breathing and body
steadiness during the practice. Sit on a folded blanket or cloth of
natural fiber to ensure the maximum conduction energy during
the practice.

5. Sequence: Pranayama should be performed after asanas and

before meditation practice. After practicing pranayama one
may lie down in Shavasana for a few minutes. But there is no
connection between Pranayama and asanas.
