"The father mulled over all that Kash had told him and devised a plan to test the authenticity of his son's experience. He knew that this child knew next to nothing about any religion, even his own Sikh faith. Kash's utter ignorance of any religious tradition would be used against him and his mystical experience, and there was no other better method to cross-examine him. Kash would be told to request this Divine Mother to visit a certain Divine Being. If She had the Power to do so, and Kash could come back from meditation and describe Him, then there was something about Her that would demand further investigation. Kash's father thought of a deity in the Hindu pantheon. For some inexplicable reason he picked Shri Ganesha.”


The First Day: The Divine Light (Jyothi)

In November 1993 a barely thirteen-year-old child was given Self-Realization through Sahaja Yoga. This revolutionary and evolutionary method of awakening the Kundalini (Self-Realization) — unconditionally guaranteed to be instant, effortless and absolutely without any side-effect whatsoever — was discovered by Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, undoubtedly the greatest Avatar ever to have taken birth on Earth.

It all began when a Sahaja Yogi friend Bhupinder asked permission from the father if he could be permitted to teach his sons Kash (13 year-old) and Shah (11 year-old) how to meditate. To allay any fears he explained that it was a simple, newly discovered method of spiritual rebirth through Kundalini awakening.

Both children were given Self-Realization, after which all three them meditated.

When they finished Kash went straight to his father, who was as usual having his almost daily drink, and exclaimed that he had journeyed to a very beautiful and peaceful land far away. The father sceptically listened, occasionally glancing at his Sahaja Yogi friend to see if it made any sense to him.

Kash told that the very instant he closed his eyes and went into meditation he found himself standing on a soft carpet of clouds—hues of blue and white not seen on Earth—spreading in all directions as far as the eye could see. Some distance away there was a very bright Light of great beauty shining above and illuminating the entire vastness. In spite of its dazzling brilliance he could gaze at it without hurting his eyes. He just stood and looked around in amazement and awe at the tranquility and stunning beauty of the surroundings.

For a long time he continued gazing around this strange serene land, wondering where he really was. Kash did not even take one step in any direction. The sheer splendour of this awesome scene illumined by a single dazzling Light and his inability to comprehend where he was kept him mesmerized and rooted to one spot.

After gazing around for about twenty minutes Kash closed his eyes again, and descended back to Earth.

The child went to his father and narrated his experience. His ignorant father just took it as a figment of a child's imagination.

The Second Day: The Divine Mother (Shakti)

The next evening Bhupinder gave Kash specific instructions and a mantra to be recited before going into meditation. As directed, Kash put his right palm on the ground and uttered this sacred mantra four times:

"Om Twameva Sakshat Shri Ganesha Sakshat
Shri Adi Shakti Mataji Shri Nirmala Devi Namoh Namah.”


The dormant Kundalini energy inside his sacrum bone sprang into life, coursed through the central nervous system, and pierced his Sahasrara since his rebirth on this Earth as Kash(winder) Singh.

As he came through the celestial clouds and opened his spiritual eyes, the Great Adi Shakti was there to receive him. The sight of Her standing right in front stunned the young child. Who was this stunningly beautiful young Woman who had appeared out of nowhere in this Divine Paradise? Who was this extremely attractive Being, all enfolded in a dazzling red and white sari, who had come to greet him?

In the first place where was he?

Shri Maharajni Devi smiled and held out Her Hands, with open, upturned palms. She told him to do the same and put his down turned palms over Her open palms. As Kash did so he found himself being levitated a few inches off the ground. Both began traveling towards the extremely brilliant Light, quickly reaching it and slowing down to a standstill.

A short distance away was a majestic golden Throne. Kash realized it was the same place he had seen the day before, for it was still under the same Light.

The Great Sacred Mother walked to the Throne and sat on it. Kash followed and squatted before Her, the luxuriant clouds providing extreme comfort.

He did not even bow down to Her for he had no idea what to do. All he knew that he had been meditating on Earth in Montreal, Canada and now he was in some strange land sitting before a very beautiful Woman on a majestic Golden Throne. He was sure that he was not dreaming, but just what was going on?

Shri Sarvaruna Devi then told him that they should meditate.

Both simultaneously raised their Kundalinis and Kash realized that the Great Divine Mother was repeating the same method of Kundalini awakening he had been taught by his father's friend. She brought both Her Hands together and from the Mooladhara Chakra continuously encircled the left with the right, slowly rising all the way to the Sahasrara Chakra.

Shri Maha Avatar Devi then tied a knot just above the Brahmarandhra (top of head). This was repeated two more times. Then She opened Her left palm, resting it on the left knee, and with the right hand drew a protective arch over the entire body from left to right. This was done seven times. She then joined both palms in Namaskar and closed Her eyes. Both lapsed into meditation.

The attainment of the state of Sahaj Samadhi came instantly to Kash. The onrushing bliss was beyond description as the thoughtless state intensified the indescribable Joy. Wave upon wave of Paramchaitanya buffeted him into spiritual ecstasy. The spirit had merged into the Spirit. The human had become the Divine. The drop had become the Ocean. The individual consciousness had become the Universal Consciousness. Time lost its essence and he could have easily remained suspended in this bliss for hours, even days.

After about 20 minutes the Spirit of the Living God tapped him on his shoulders, and immediately he came out of Nirvana. She told him that it was time to go.

Kash did not even thank Her, so dazed was he by this spiritual experience. He just closed his spiritual eyes and descended through the thick layer of clouds, back to this planet known as Earth.

When he opened his physical eyes he was at 3495 Ivan Franco 107, Lachine, Montreal, Canada.

Again the young child confronted his skeptical father and declared the Truth he had just witnessed.

Maharajni: [2nd]: The Great Empress. In this name the second act of Her, 'Sthiti' is indicated. 'Yena Jatani Jivanti': By whom all creatures live — Taittiriya Upanisad 3.1. She, who rules the entire Universe and, is its law and its execution. Every law or truth that man discovers is just a glimpse of that great will or law of that Great Empress.
Sarvaruna: [50th]: From head to foot She is faultlessly beautiful.


The Goddess Shakti or Divine Mother

The Third Day: The Divine Child (Ganesha)

When Kash came back from meditation and explained about The Mother, his father listened in silence. The Sahaja Yogi friend was speechless. From the tone of his son's voice the father knew that he had experienced something extraordinary, and arrived back from some place far in the universe beyond.

Kash was told to narrate his story repeatedly to find any discrepancies. This only brought more detail and confirmed that what he saw was very real; that the Great Supreme Mother was that of the photograph (above) he had meditated on, that Her spiritual form as Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi was more younger looking, approximately between 30-35 years of age, and very beautiful. He even described the exact type of sari Shri Nirmala Devi was wearing (white with a red border), and how a brilliant light was emanating from a 'sun' above Her.

Knowing Kash to be a very honest kid his father could find no doubt, or answer, to this incredible spiritual vision. The only logical explanation was the gift of the Inner Eye that ancient sages knew existed within all humans. His son was telling him something that was utterly beyond his immature mind, something he had absolutely no knowledge of. For the first time in his life he was talking about a Mater Divinae (Mother of the Divine Grace) who was alive and probably divine.

The father mulled over all that Kash had told him and devised a plan to test the authenticity of his son's experience. He knew that this child knew next to nothing about any religion, even his own Sikh faith. Kash's utter ignorance of any religious tradition would be used against him and his mystical experience, and there was no other better method to cross-examine him. Kash would be told to request this Divine Mother to visit a certain Divine Being. If She had the Power to do so, and Kash could come back from meditation and describe Him, then there was something about Her that would demand further investigation. The father thought of a deity in the Hindu pantheon. For some inexplicable reason he picked Shri Ganesha.

The next day Kash was told to meditate and ask Shri Ganamba Devi to take him to see Shri Ganesha. He agreed and, after receiving specific instructions from Bhupinder, went into meditation.

When he returned about half an hour later the following information was given:

— that he asked Shri Mataji to take him to see Shri Ganesha and She agreed;
— that he was levitated by Her and they traveled across the infinite Universe;
— that he had to go through a black hole to reach Shri Ganesha and came upon another world;
— that he felt very nice after crossing the black hole and approaching Shri Ganesha's abode;
— that as he descended with Shri Mataji he saw an open-air temple with 4 pillars and a roof, but with no walls around;
— he saw Lord Ganesha meditating in the middle;
— he saw pictures of Mother, Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva and Lord Krishna around Him;
— that Lord Ganesha has an elephant face;
— that He has 4 arms. He was meditating with 2 arms while 1 hand held a bowl from which smoke was coming out;
— that there was a mouse sitting beside Him;
— that His body was grayish in colour;
— that He has a big belly.

Kash's fluent description stunned his father and Bhupinder. There was absolutely no way his 13-year-old son could know such precise knowledge, some of which that even the educated father did not know.

There were quick-fire questions from both excited adults as they fired a barrage of questions in hurried eagerness and disbelief. But the child replied with a cool confidence and quiet calmness. His answers brought even further questions but there was no contradiction even under intense cross-examination.

Even when pressured about the absurdity of some facts he did not budge. He was just narrating what he had seen with his spiritual eyes.

Kash was especially repeatedly asked whether he was sure that there was a mouse beside Shri Ganesha. He insisted there was and had even seen this mouse standing on its hind legs and held the forelegs together, as if in namaskaar!

Yet, the mind still refused to believe. What did a mouse and one of the most revered of Deities have in common? In the first place, what was a mouse doing in the Spiritual World? Although Kash could give no answer to these logical questions, he steadfastly stood by what he saw.

Lord Ganesha, the most adorable one, adored by all gods, is endowed with a huge, monstrous body, symbolising unity of the primeval forest denizen with man combining the physical energies of mortals.


Vinayaka - Lord Of All

As Vinayaka, Lord Ganesha is the Supreme Leader of all, being endowed with special qualities. He is the Chief of all the celestial demi-gods, and is ever adored by them.


Yashaskaram - Giver Of Frame And Glory

Lord Ganesha is worshipped by both the devas and the asuras, for he is the Lord of the gods. He gives prosperity, fame and glory to all the worlds, shining with a lustrous glow.


Yashvasin - The Popular

The pot-bellied, askew-trunked single-tusk Ganesha is popularly the beloved of all. He is the subject of those who sing his praise, the jewel from whose face flows nectar.


Yogadhipa - Lover Of Meditation

Lord Ganesha is the fountainhead of wisdom, the Great God, that Eternal Truth, that Eternal Reality. His name is chanted at the beginning and end of meditation at all times.”
