Paramhansa Vishuddhanand Ji Gandh-baba

Shri Vishuddhanandas childhood name was Bholanath Chattopadhyaya. Siddha Yogi Swa
mi Nimanand Paramahansa of the secret Gyanganj Yogashram in Tibet took Bholnath
to Gyanganj ashram. Yogiraj Vishuddhanand Paramhansadeva was the first Yogi-Sain
t to introduce and propagate Surya-Vijnan, solar science, into the world for the
first time. Up till then this science was confined to the precints of the ancie
nt secrets of Yogashram at Gyanganj in the Himalayas in Tibet and was known only
to the ancients. Baba stayed in Gyanganj Ashram for 12 years. Surya i.e., Sun o
r Savita means source of creation. According to Surya-Vijnan there are 360 rays of
the sun which go to form the whole creation of the Universe. Baba converted cot
ton wool, flowers and leaves into stones, wood, etc. by the incidence of appropr
iate rays of the Sun. He demonstrated practically how minute particles of ingred
ients of various objects could be dispersed or assembled and destroyed or create
d through the proces of Surya-Vijnan. As a result of his adherence to the strict
rules of the Brahmacharya period, Bholanath had freed himself from the influenc
e of ego and had also developed the spirit of surrender to the will of the Supre
me Power.
Matter is indestructible
Shri Baba demonstrated practically that matter is indestructible.
1st Instance
He asked Shri Gopinath to write something on a piece of paper, burn it and pulve
rize the ashes by his hands. Thereafter he resurrected from its ashes that very
same paper with the sentences written on it by Gopinath.
2nd Instance
Another day, Baba had a pail full of milk thrown into the river Ganga in Varanas
i at one Ghat. After a couple of days he reclaimed that pail-full of milk from t
he Ganga at another ghat of Varanasi.
3rd Instance
Even if a person passes away from the world of curse (Mrityulok) to heaven (Brah
malok), a yogi can bring him back in the world, through his yogic power. For exa
mple, Baba brought back his dead father in bodily into this world at Bondul at t
he earnest request of his elder brother Shri Bhutnath. This incident has been de
scribed later in chapter 6 of this book. The above proved beyond doubt that noth
ing is ever lost or destroyed in Nature.
Materialization of the Dead Father in Physical Form
Once Bhootnath told Vishuddhanand, Bholanath! I have heard that through spiritual
practice you have acquired extraordinary powers. For a long time I have a yet u
nfulfilled desire in my heart. If you could fulfil the same, I will consider mys
elf blessed. I want to see our late father in physical form just for once, I hea
r that the soul is eternal though man is mortal. The changes take place only in
the physical form of the body. But the yogi, through his yogic powers, can resur
rect the soul in its physical bodily form. The yogi, through his yogic powers, c
an resurrect the same as it were in the past at any time. I know you can fulfil
my desire if you so wish. I have no other wish. Bholanath said, Dear brother, what
you have stated is quite true. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished by
yogic power or super-science. After the battle of Mahabharat at Kurukshetra, Mah
arshi Vyasadeva had resurrected, her dead relatives before the very eyes of the
grief-stricken Gandhari, in fulfilment of her wish. A yogi can do this through h
is will-power. The same can also be accomplished by the application of super-sci
ence. But, dear brother, what will you gain by simply seeing our late father? On
ly know that the soul never dies. Death only changes the form. You will not be a
ble to keep your equanimity at seeing our dead father now, in his old physical f
orm. Therefore, it will be better that you accept the will of God in whatever ha
s already come to pass and do not press to see our late father in phyiscal form
now. But Bhootnath persisted and pressed his wish. Bholanath was well aware that
anybody, on seeing his dead relative, cannot normally keep his sanity intact and
develops insanity. Hence he tried very hard indeed to dissuade his brother, but
Bhootnath was insistent. In the end, Bholanath acceeded to his request. A room
was set as per instructions of Bholanath. In it a cot was placed and on it a new
bedding was spread. At the appointed hour, their late father appeared in his us
ual physical form and took his seat on the bed. He even replied to the questions
put to him. He stayed thus for about fifteen minutes and then departed. But the
sight in bodily form of the late father left a deep harmful impact on the mind
of Bhootnath.
Pre-Knowledge of Future Events
Bholanath (now Swami Vishuddhanand) used to visit Burdwan now and then. Once he
found his elder brother Bhootnath suffering from a chronic disease. The treatmen
t there was giving him no relief. Bholanath cured him by his yogic power, just b
y a sheer gaze at him. But before leaving, he told Bhootnath in no uncertain ter
ms that he was not ever to take onions or eggs. He also impressed this point on
Bhootnaths wife and warned her of the consequences. But Bhootnath was never a per
son to follow rules or restrictions for any length of time. He started taking on
ions and eggs again. After some time, the disease reappeared in Bhootnath in a v
irulent form. He became worse day by day and no medicine was able to provide him
any relief. You can imagine the feelings of the mother under such circumstances
. Although Bholanath was at that time in a very distant place, even there he cou
ld get the inkling of his brothers condition and the state of mental agony of his
mother. For a yogi, distance is of no consequence and Vishuddhanand appeared in
stantly at his village Bondul. There he explicitly explained to his mother that
Bhootnath, having disobeyed the instructions, could not be cured anymore. Simult
aneously he indicated the date and time of the death of Bhootnath to the mother
and disappeared. Needless to say that Bhootnath died exactly on the same day and
time as had been prophecised by Bholanath. The mother became miserably grief st
ricken. Bholanath again appeared on the scene. He relieved the mother of the gri
ef by a simple touch of his hand. Swami Vishuddhanand had acquired many supernat
ural powers through the constant practice of Mantra Jap (meditation), Tapasya (p
enance) and Samadhi (superconsciousness). But he used to utilize these Siddhis o
nly for the benefit of mankind. Whenever requested, he used to provide relief to
all relatives or non-relatives in their bodily and mental sufferings and all ki
nds of troubles. Many people suffering from chronic and virulent diseases were c
ured just by a single benevolent gaze from his or by exercise of his will-power.
There was no end to his yogic powers and it is impossible to comprehend, leave
alone describe all of them.

ARAMAHANSADEVA, Life & Philosophy by Nand Lal Gupta, an ardent disciple of Shri
Babaji for the benefit of Babajis devotees across the world.

On unveiling the curtain that lies on Solar Science Pandit Gopinath Kaviraj writ
es: this process is dependent on the knowledge of pure solar rays. Due to the un
ity and separation of its various types many types of matter are known to manife
st. The mutually directed union of various rays is the secret of Solar Science.
From this there can either be creation of the universe or its destruction. Hence
it is of great importance to understand its process. He further elaborates that
one should clearly understand the difference between the creating of the univer
se scientifically and that via Yogic power. According to him Yogic creating is t
he result of desire power or Iccha Shakti. The main materials required are the s
oul of the creator and his omnipotent soul force. Yoga creating is external illu
mination of the form present in the soul through ones strong will power or desir
e. Within the Savitri mode this according to Tantra parlance is separating of a
drop.
