Meet the truth face to face
The hidden Brama Gnana (Ultimate Knowledge) truth is first taught to you here at our Brama Gnana Gurukulam with the blessings and permission of our Guru.
Those who have learned this art will have ultimately mastered Brama Gnana. They will have transformed into beings of Brama Gnana. That is the wonder of this art. You will joyously witness your own life force directly. The daily experiences of wisdom you acquire will continue to testify to this. Our students stand as a testament to you.
Those seeking to sever the cycle of rebirth will come in search of this Brama Gnana. The art that they missed in their past lives will reach them in this life. Those who have attained this art must have performed great merits and penances. For others, even the sight of this art remains unseen. Will wisdom come unsummoned? Is penance acquired effortlessly?
Like the Brama Gnana Kriya, there is no other spiritual education in this world that can sever the records and actions of karma from past (Prarabdha Karma) and current (Sanchita Karma) lives. Various yogas and wisdoms convey different messages and experiences, but they do not embed themselves into the core of your life force. However, the Brama Gnana Kriya stirs and blows into the root of your life force, amplifying and illuminating the Brama light from earth to the heavens.
This art will stimulate your life force to shine brightly on its own. As your life is stimulated, your auditory powers too will be activated, and you will hear the ten types of sounds with your ears. You will see the light of your life with its brilliance with your physical eyes. Here, there is no concealment. You will meet the truth directly and upon meeting, you will merge into it.
Brama Gnana Kriya
In this world, God has not created a separate truth for each individual. There is only one truth for everyone, and the same ordinance applies to God as well. That is the true essence of the divine. The only art, the only technique that speaks of the reality, truth, and sincerity of your life is this Brama Gnana Kriya alone.
This Brama Gnana Kriya will unite you with your life force. It will reveal your identity to your soul. It will merge you with the divine soul. It will make you shine with the light of your life. It will allow you to dance with the cosmic dancer in Chidambaram. It will make you resonate with the sounds that set the rhythm for the dance. There, you will blend with the cosmic fire and continue to radiate in cool warmth.
As these events unfold, the question of “who you are” will dissolve like frost under the sun, and you will begin to sprout wisdom right there. As this saga continues, the seeds of wisdom planted by the guru within you will sprout into leaves of knowledge, bloom, and ripen into fruits of enlightenment. Then, you will stand as a radiant beacon of Brama Gnana on the divine throne of the soul.
Brama Gnana Kriya will communicate with the arts that conquer your mind. It will speak with your life force. It will converse with your soul. It will join with the light of your life. It will weave with the arts of sound. It will melt with the air you breathe. It will merge with the high magnetic life force. It will activate the whirlpool energy channel. It will cross the fire with the Chitrini channel. It will connect with the Brama channel.
This pursuit of the Brama channel will continue your Brama Gnana meditation until the day you attain the Brama channel, that day Brama Gnana will be realized. To activate this channel and to identify where it lies, one must have meditated for countless years. Without touching the vortex, how can one reach the Brama channel?
However, here, under the complete blessing and compassion of our master, the Brama Gnana Kriya is taught openly, allowing you to touch, taste, dance, sing, and celebrate your relationship with your divinity without any concealment.
What happens in the practices of Brama Gnana?
In the practice of Brama Gnana, light energies enter through the needlepoint gateway of your physical being, standing in the expansive void within, where they merge with the celestial fire present in the sky. This union of sky and fire is what is known.
The pathway through this needlepoint gateway is likened to a hair bridge, along which the celestial fire flows. From the art of fire, a flood of light emerges. This light is known as “cool light” (cool+light = cool light), where ‘cool’ signifies chilliness, a chilled flame from the sky. It is a pleasant fire, a cool fire, which becomes our own inner light, a pleasant, cool luminance.
When this light energy permeates through the essence within us and reaches our soul’s abode during the practice of Brama Gnana, there, the divine light joyously intensifies our sacred dance. At that moment, due to the movements of the divine light, sounds (tones) begin to resonate within us. Our sages have classified these sounds into ten types, which are:
“Sounds of ocean, elephant, spinning yarn, clouds, beautifully adorned bees, dragonflies, the large bow, the lute, quiet rising tones—these are the ten.”
“With the ocean and clouds, the elephant’s roar, the ringing of the celestial lute, the sounds of the bejeweled flute, the divine conch—unknown except to the steadfast yogi.”
Those who see this light and hear these tones within themselves will behold the vision of the divine Bhuvaneswari. This is as spoken by our revered guru; it is truth in truth, a blessed experience of divine wisdom bestowed by the guru. We are immersed in this bliss daily, a gracious gift given by the guru.
Those who practice Brama Gnana and hear these tones should remain as steady as an anchor in that place. Then only will they truly see Lord Nataraja, the divine form of light.
The vision of this light naturally occurs at the culmination of these tones. It is not attainable through mere ascetic practice but depends on the awakening brought by divine grace during such practice. These are but one of the many wonders of Brama Gnana practices, filled with countless marvels and mystical secrets.
As you experience and rejoice in each aspect of Brama Gnana, even Tamil words fail to fully capture this ecstatic state of bliss. Such is the profound secret of Brama Gnana practice.
Eye of wisdom
As long as the body remains in its gross state, it is impossible to delay death. However, once the body is prepared for the state of light, nothing can destroy this light. This is because the very form of the universe is light itself. Light can only be truly known through light.
The term “light” implies illumination. How can one extinguish light? As long as the sun exists, there will be light in this world. This is why Vallalar referred to attaining a body of light as the true path, saying, “One must have a body like the Sun.”
If the body is to transform into light, is it a simple matter? Life itself is light within humans, yet the body remains gross, like a material object.
For the body to become a body of light, the light within must permeate every cell, transforming them into cells of light. First, one must learn to separate the life force, the light of life, from the body. If life is separated, wouldn’t the body die? Life must be separated in such a way that death does not occur.
This is similar to separating butter from milk. After the butter is separated, it floats unattached to the milk. Once life is separated from the body, it exists independently, unattached to the body. This separated life, like butter, needs to be melted by the heat of meditation. Once melted, it will flow somewhere within the body, specifically in the throat area. The location where the butter melts, where life exists, is the pineal gland, the seat of life’s breath.
The pineal gland is located in the center of the head, above the Anna chakra. Specifically, it is at a point where the two eyes and two ears converge within the head.
“The lamp placed below the crown but above the Anna chakra continually burns, O lady of the banyan tree,” (Alukani Siddhar)
“Relatives and spirits dwell at the highest place,” (Thirumandiram-197)
“Rising bright light penetrates,” (Thirumandiram-1777)
“Light, radiant light, surrounds the lamp of light,” (Manikkavasagar)
“The vibrant star lives knowing the flesh inside,” (Thirumandiram-1797)
“Realize and see, beyond the inner light is the supreme light where the eternal resides,” (Sivavakkiyar)
There is an empty space at the center of this pineal gland. The sages called this space Chidambaram, known in Sanskrit as Chidakasha.
The sages also refer to this pineal gland as the third eye, the Eye of Wisdom.
With light, Spread the light
Thus, by keeping our two eyes open and observing, one can learn the art of sleeping without sleep. We can live without dying and eliminate the cycle of birth.
Such a vision exists in this pineal gland. However, the pineal gland is not fully awakened. Innumerable karmic records, like mountains of ash, weigh heavily upon it, compressing the pineal gland.
Beneath this layer of ash, the pineal gland continues to shine. Due to the pressure of the ash above, the inner light within our external eyes remains unseen.
Just as when we blow away the ash on burning coals, or sweep it away, revealing the intense fire beneath, so too those who have learned the technique of blowing and sweeping away the ash layered on the pineal gland truly become Siddhas. “He who knows how to blow is a Siddha,” says the Siddhar wisdom. He who has learned the art of removing the ash by blowing is a Siddha. How to blow, and with what?
Our life force exists within our body in the form of atoms. Life is situated in the body, and life exists in a state of light. Air is essential for light to continue burning; our life light needs air to keep burning continuously. This air is Prana, vital for our life light.
How to direct this Prana to the life light situated at the center of the skull? Gradually, like the bellows in a blacksmith’s workshop, one must draw in the Prana and blow it up above the throat to the Bramarandra by continuous practice. This is well practiced in Kriya Yoga and Vasi Yoga, where Prana is central, but in the practice of Brama Gnana, light is primary.
Only with light can light be ignited. This is also stated by science.
Using the light rays from our two eyes, we must ignite and burn the life light in the pineal gland. That’s all you need to do. When you send the rays to the pineal gland, also send the nectar-like Prana air, and the pineal gland will start to shine brightly.
