Guy Spiro: How is your global meditation going?

Yogiraj Siddhanath: The Earth Peace Meditation. It is going fine and expanding day by day. We are having two meditations every month. One is on every full moon and is done individually by everyone at their private home or a collective gathering. The Full Moon Earth Peace Meditations they are called. The second is every third Saturday, so everybody has a holiday and gathers in large numbers and has a collective Earth Peace Meditation. Earth peace to self peace is our soul cry.

GS: How many people are you getting now?

YS: We are getting people world wide in different places and they contact us through email. There are several thousand people in connection with us and with various networks which are doing Earth peace. It need not necessarily be people of our organization, but there are people all over the world who are networking with us and contacting us for Earth Peace Meditations every full moon.

GS: That is great. There are many such events going on and I think it is important that they all link up and work together.

 YS: Yes, we should work together. We are working together in spirit without physical communication of mind and tongue, but at the spirit and spiritual level and consciousness level, everyone is working for Earth peace, which is good enough to begin with.

GS: How do you see things going in the world these days?

YS: Things in the world now ... due to certain cycles and Yugas of the time, temporarily there will be certain disturbances because a certain gangrene or negativity in the minds and hearts of society has to be taken out, they have to be purged. This is a process of catharsis, mental catharsis and physical purging. So there will be a disturbed situation around the world, a warlike situation, but there will be no world war. There can be warlike situation, but I feel this will soon die down after two to three years.

GS: That is what I see happening, too. We may have already seen the worst of it.

YS: Yes, the boil has come to a head, it has to be removed.

[laughter]

And the worst of it has already passed. Now people are coming to an understanding that it’s futile to fight against one another. We can be more at an advantage with economic cooperation and love, cooperation of the heart. Therefore we give the meditations of full moons, meditations of Earth peace to self peace.

GS: How much do you think destiny plays into this and how much of it is in our hands?

YS: Destiny plays into this a lot because we have already created the mass karma that we deserve, so destiny is projected through the radiation and vibration of the planetary effect on our solar system and planet. Therefore, it is a vital time. In India we have the Yugas, the Kali Yuga, the Dvapara Yuga, the Treta Yuga, and Satya Yuga. These Yugas are brought about by the cyclic events and the cyclic motions, the heliocentric motions of the planets and the stars, which govern the destiny and the karma of all nations. But, there is an escape in this, where destiny can be accelerated by each of us practicing Kundalini Kriya Yoga. Kundalini is the divine energy which transcends karma and hastens the evolution of humankind. Therefore, if you practice Kriya Yoga, we can bring upon ourselves good karma faster than we really thought we could by the normal planetary effects. So this is a ray of hope for humanity to bring about a better peaceful co-existence amongst human fellow beings, quicker than it is predicted. The coming of the Kalki Avatara is at the Aquarius junction, where Leo and Aquarius stand in opposition to one another, approximately 200 or 250 years from now, ­and then the great Kalki Avatara shall come and he shall restore peace and order upon this earth and the background will be an even higher Avatara of Shiva working for the salvation humankind and that is called Gorakshanath Babaji who will work on the cosmic spiritual plane while the Kalki Avatara will work on the physical and mental plane.

GS: I see different dates for the Kali Yuga. When do you say it is supposed to be over?

YS: There are two cycles of Kali Yuga. In the ancient times in the Vedic one, the popular one, there are huge cycles of thousands and millions of years for the Kali Yuga, and the Dwapara, Treta and Satya. But these cycles do not refer to the cyclic progression and evolution of human beings. They refer to the cyclic progression and evolution of the Devas and gods, the cosmic beings, and they are of a much longer cyclic duration. But what I am talking about is the evolution of human beings. Here I refer you to a very sacred book by Gyana-avatara (incarnation of knowledge) called Sri Yukteshwar. He wrote a book, the Holy Science, in which he has given a 24,000 year cycle of human evolution divided into the four Yugas of the of Kali (2400 years), Dwapara (4800), Treta (9600), and Satya (12,000) with their ascending and descending cycles and a brief transitional period in between. So I’m talking about the smaller Kali Yuga cycle. The smaller cycle which is more accurate for the human being, that is the 2400 year cycle we have already entered, the 275^th or 280^th year of the ­Dwapara Yuga. So at the junction 200 years or so from now, when Leo and Aquarius come into opposition—that will be the coming of the divine Kalki to restore the balance and the peace and order of the Earth.

     That will be same time of the second advent of the Christ, called differently by the Christians, Jewish people, and who is also called the Imam Mahdi by the Muslims, who all are the same Soul.

GS: What would you say about America having a spiritual destiny?

YS: A lot of Indian souls from India have incarnated in America and a lot of the teachers and masters of India are coming, and also from Tibet and other places, to guide America along to its prosperous destiny. America is destined to be the cradle of the new Sixth Root Race, which is born from the ancient Aryan Fifth Root Race. From the Aryan Fifth Root Race shall be born the new Sixth Root Race. People are already being born, this is already happening. We are in the radiance of the Sixth Root Race. America has a great destiny, but has to work with a little glitch of negativity and a little hardship, which it will overcome—and along with India, it has a great destiny. America and India are already cooperating with the nuclear cooperation act for peaceful purposes. They are also cooperating in physical, economic and in social ways. There is a great interaction and a karmic link between India and America .

GS: Of course, we have to get past this current administration.

YS: Yes, you have to get past the remnant of the red storm and you have to overcome the problems with the Middle East and the green countries. There is a breakthrough and a lot of things will be solved. It may come on all the sudden, like by surprise.

GS: It seems to me that radical Islam has almost run its course, that the rest of the Islamic world will soon realize that they are just as much a target of it as anybody else.

YS: What they are trying to do is not just fight. The Imam Mahdi is supposed to be the same as the second advent or Kalki Avatara, but they think that by creating an agitation and creating world war through terrorism, they will upset the balance in the world so as to invoke the great Avatar to incarnate and restore the balance. They are trying to do it by force, but I don’t think that this can happen. The two world wars, the first and second, could not bring about the incarnation of the Avatara, so I don’t think a single war or single skirmish could bring about this Divine Savior. Iran is trying to do that and they will seek to create war with America to bring about the ideal circumstances of disturbance and chaos which will necessitate the second advent of Maitreya Buddha or the Kalki or Imam Mahdi to incarnate. All these names I am taking are one and the same person, called differently in different religions and beliefs. But I don’t think that this is possible. They must be told and made to realize that this is a folly and they should desist from terrorism and war and hatred.

GS: It is time for cooperation.

YS: If they would cooperate with the world, they would bring about social and economic well being, a win-win situation.

GS: In a completely different direction, would you comment on Tantra? It has become a very popular thing here in the West, but I don’t think what people are calling Tantra here is much like what Tantra really is.

YS: Tanta is a much more advanced method. The people are not doing Tantra, they are merely having fun.

GS: And fun is OK, but they are calling it Tantra.

YS: But that fun leads to a specific first stage of the going into the Tantra. Tantra has many shades and grades. It starts with a simple playfulness and ends in the highest techniques of Amaroli, Sahajoli and Vajroli, which lead to immortality. In India the system of Tantra is very elastic and therefore it is very difficult to check people in America and tell them they are not practicing the hardcore, advanced Tantra which gives the benefits of immortality, but really a preparation for Tantra or a desire to express the higher Tantra. It will lead to the real thing, but to transform the male Shiva and the female Shakti requires a lot of Kundalini energy and spiritual power. This cannot be done without the power of the Kundalini energy, which is reversed up the spine and also the heart to devote yourself to the beloved partner—to have love without lust. This is important. It is a very high technique. I don’t know how in a very short time I could explain such an extensive science. The harmony of love and the science of Tantra has to be fused into perfection

GS: What is the Nath Sampradaya?

YS: I have started my own tradition of the Nath Sampradaya (Nath tradition). It is my direct experience with Shiva Goraksha Nath Babaji, also known as Adi-Nath, who is one of the greatest founders of Raja Yoga and Hatha Yoga in the world. This Babaji is the tremendous being who has also introduced the Kriya Yoga to the West. The world has always had this form of Kundalini Kriya Yoga from time immemorial. It is about the evolution of the spiritual consciousness of humanity and the purpose is also in the mission statement of our Organization: We the Hamsas are meditating to the furtherance of human awareness. We the Hamsas are dedicated to serving humanity as one’s larger Self. We the Hamsas are devoted to Earth Peace healing, through Self Peace Healing. That which I have laid out is an ancient soul cry of the true ancient Indian science and religion called the Sanatan Dharma (Eternal Religion) which says that If Earth peace is to herald the dawn of the New Age, we must all realize that humanity is one’s only religion, breath one’s only prayer, and consciousness one’s only God. This is the soul cry we must follow and live by if humanity is to live in peaceful coexistence.

GS: What would you say to those who have incarnated here in the west and grown up cut off from the traditions?

YS: We should not be worried about this because each individual soul who reincarnates from east or west comes with the individual karma from the past life, and comes into contact with the master or teacher. That thousands of souls in the west, tens of thousands and millions of them are coming in contact with the great Indian masters who are teaching them the evolution of human consciousness and the spiritual techniques is decreed by the great Shiva Goraksha Babaji and is bound to happen. This liberating science of Kriya Yoga is bound to influence the world sooner or later. So people who want it surely get it. They will not be cut off, and many souls who have incarnated in America were Indian souls in their past life or the life before, and those are the souls who are being attracted to Gorakshanath Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. So there is nothing to worry about. All will be well and they will; as for their tradition, their ideologies, that they desire to learn the Science of the Evolution of Human Consciousness, which is Babaji’s Kriya Yoga. And some will do a mixture of it all.

GS: Right, we talk about going into the new age and as I’ve come to understand it, it is a combination of all teachings.

YS: Yes, it is a combination because some people are devotion oriented, some are scientific, some are work/service oriented and some are physical. Spirit is the true meaning of Yoga.

GS: What is the most important thing you could say right now to our readers?

YS: If world peace is to herald the dawn of the New Age, we must all realize that humanity is one’s only religion, breath one’s only prayer, and consciousness one’s only God. This may be realized by meditating for Earth Peace through Self Peace, and Self Peace may be got by the practice of devotion and Kriya Yoga.
