ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - DISCOVERING OUR SPIRITUAL COMPASS, YOUTUBE CLIP 28, PART 2
This lecture is based on youtube clip 28 on the discovery of our SPIRITUAL COMPASS
When our introspection, contemplation, reflection, meditation and service (ICRMS) intensify, a few things takes place:
1. Convergence in our rational and scientific pursuits. All dogmatic belief drops off.
2. Convergence in the wisdom knowledge about God from the Bhakthi (Dualism perspective) and the SELF (Advaitha perspective) takes place.
3. The convergence in our mindset ultimately reveals the SELF (the BIG-I), the divine substratum as the true reality.
4. In the converged state, we realise the mind, intellect and senses are a reflection of the SELF.
5. All sparks (experiences) of life is a reflection of the SELF.
6. The only fundamental truth is that everything plays out on the screen of the SELF.
7. You see, the sweets like candies, ice-cream, laddu, cakes, cookies and many more sweets depend on sugar. Without sugar, these sweet delicacies will not be possible. With sugar, we can make many more sweet things.
8. In the same way, the mind, intellect, senses, thoughts, experiences, life itself is a manifestations of the SELF, like sugar. With SELF (like sugar) we can make many sweet memories and experiences.
9. So, the SELF realisation technique shown by GP MAHAN is to lock the SWEETNESS of the SELF; so that our life become a self-enriched superb life.
10. This is the essence of both Advaitha, Dvaitha and GP MAHAN'S I-GOD philosophy.
11. The amazing thing is the Mahan's I-GOD philosophy unifies Dvaitha and Advaitha philosophy.
Watch youtube clip 28 to get more information on the above.

Santhosam and peace be with you.

MEDITATION AND OUR AMAZING BRAIN
Good morning to my spiritual family.
Meditation is very important for the health of our brain. Here are some of the benefits of a healthy brain.
1. Awareness of self - be conscious of oneself and harness the power of awareness - aware of our thoughts and thought creating processes.
2. It helps us focus, be alert and be productive.
3. The brain is the "foundational hardware" to operate the softwares called the mind, intellect and memory.
4. Improves our memory power - the knowledge library in us: help us capture information, store information and retrive information efficiently.
5. Sharpens our Intellect to help transform the information into knowledge that can be used for the goodness of our life.
6. Think logically, be creative, innovative and productive.
7. Moderate & modulate our emotions - help nurture calmness & coolness.
8. Help reduce stress, anxiety & fear.

11. Cultivate gratitude, love, compassion, empathy, acceptance and problem solving skills.
12. It helps us be happy, lead a positive, inspirational and joyful life (a SANTHOSAM life).
Above are some of the benefits of meditation.
How much does it cost us to attain all the benefits mentioned above?
Nothing - you don't have to spend thousands of dollars to attain all the 12 benefits mentioned above.
It is free of charge - nature's gift to us to discover the wonder of nature imprinted in our DNA.

ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, YOUTUBE CLIP 27, PART 3
By GP Mahen Sankaran
This lecture is based on youtube clip 27, which cover more indepth analysis of Advaitha School of Thought.
1. The Advaitha School of Thought is of the view that everything is part of the true reality - God, nature and the SELF are one.
2. The reason the mind is unable to cognise the oneness of God, nature and SELF is due to Avidya, Adhyasa and Maya (which we covered in our last lecture).
3. To cognise the oneness state, intensive ICRMS is critical.
4. ICRMS leads to 7Ps (Figure 5):
# PRACTICE a divine
way of life - ICRMS.
# PURPOSE - identifying
meaning and value of our
life.
# PASSION - zest for life.
# PATIENCE - calm and
cool mindset.
# PERSEVERANCE -
steadfast & focus in
attaining the purpose
and objective of our life.
# PERSISTENCE -
enduring and relentless
In achieving our goals in
life.
# PARANJOTHI - If we
did all the above we will
attain the PARANJOTHI
state - a state of
realising the ONENESS
of God, nature and SELF
(essence of Advaitha
Philosophy - I GOD
Principle).
5. What is the state of PARANJOTHI (ONENESS)? This is aptly captured by Mahan's quote given in Figure 6.
"I attained my TRUE
STATE!"
Santhosam and peace be with you.

ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, YOUTUBE CLIP 27, PART 2
This lecture is based on youtube clip 27 that cover the differences between Dualism School of Thought and Advaitha School of Thought.
Here is an example of "LIGHT & PRISM" on how the true reality manifest as relative reality. And, how to transition from relative reality to true reality.
Figure 3 shows the following:
1. The colourless light (original form) when it goes through a prism it presents the rainbow colour.
2. In the same way the divine light within us is colourless and formless, dimensionless. When it goes through the "mind-prism" it presents various forms, colours and dimensions.
3. The state of the mind-prism, results in the colour of our life.
4. Hence, the projections and experiences in our life are depended on the state of our "mind-prism". If the mind-prism is negative and destructive, it projects that in our life.
5. If our "mind-prism" is positive and developmental, these are projected in our life too.
6. If our mind-prism is pure & divine, only the purity & divinity of the reality is projected in our life.
7. Can a mind that is caught up by the limited/relative reality of the material world transition towards true reality of the universal personality?
8. The answer is yes. It requires lots of effort of introspection, contemplation and reflection, meditation. And, put our divine mind to the SERVICE of the divine force in us.
9. In essence, only through ICRMS one is able to go back to the SAMADHI (BIG-I, the pure, divine & universal state) - the colourless state (as shown in Figure 4).

Santhosam and peace be with you.

ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, YOUTUBE CLIP 27, PART 1
This lecture is based on youtube clip 27 that cover the differences between Dualism School of Thought and Advaitha School of Thought.
Both schools of thoughts agree that the concept of God, nature and sentient beings (including human) are integrated as one. But they are perceived as separate for different reasons.
1. Dualism School of Thought are of the view that God is the paramount substratum (Supreme Consciousness); the universe and sentient beings emerged from the God substratum. Hence, the universe and sentient beings operate at a lower frequency levels.
2. In the case of humans, they operate at a much lower level of consciousness than the Supreme Consciousness.
3. Dualism School of Thought is of the view that to attain the grace of God, humans must have lots of Bhakthi (faith). Refer to Figure 1.
4. Bhakthi means undertaking prayers, penance and other activities to discipline the mind.
5. Through a discipline way of life and mind, one will acquire the wisdom knowledge to get the grace of God.
6. Ultimately, attaining the God realisation state.
7. The Advaitha School of Thought is of the view that God, Nature, all sentient beings and SELF are one. Refer to Figure 2.
8. Advaitha School of Thought is of the view that the reason why humans see God, Nature and SELF as separate is due to Avidya, Adhyasa and Maya, which I spoke about in my previous lecture & youtube clip 26.
9. To remove the veil of Avidya (lack of proper knowledge), Adhyasa (superimposition or projection) and Maya (power of veiling and distortions); one will need to undertake intensive introspection, contemplation, reflection, meditation & service (ICRMS).
To be continued.
Santhosam and peace be with you.

ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, YOUTUBE CLIP 26, PART 4
This lecture is based on youtube clip 26 that cover the MONISM/ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT.
In previous lecture, I gave examples of how the mind distorts reality due to AVIDYA (lack of proper knowledge); ADHYASA (superimposition or projection) ; and, MAYA (power of veiling and distortions).
Here is another example of the mind cognising pure and relative reality.
ELECTRICITY EXAMPLE
1. All the appliances in our homes are powered by electricity. The same with our body, it is powered by life force - divine electricity.
2. The intensity of the electricity that powers our home appliances and that generated by the power station are very different. Refer to the picture below.
3. The power in the power station is signifiantly higher than in our homes.
4. A series of processes takes place to step down the intensity of the electricity from the power generator to ensure the electricity is suitable to power our home appliances.
5. If the electricity from the power station directly goes to our appliances, our appliances will be damaged.
6. In the same way, the body and human mind will not be able to experience the power of the divinity in its purest form (infinite state). The frequency of the body and mind are different from that of the divinity.
7. To increase the intensity of electricity in our homes, we need to increase our home electrical circuits system to more advanced electrical circuits system.
8. In the same way, for our mind to increase the ability to cognise the Divinity in greater intensity & magnitude, we need to upgrade our brain's (hardware) and mind's & intellect's (software) capacity and capability. How do we do the upgrade? ICRMS!
9. So, for the mind to transition from relative reality (Divinity in limited state) to pure reality (Divinity in comprehensive state - Patipuranam), ICRMS is important.
10. ICRMS breaks the hold of Avidya, Adhyasa and Maya on the human mind and intellect.
11. ICRMS (Advaitha Philosophy) will help us realise the intensity of electricity in the power station (source of Divinity) and the appliances (human personality - body, mind & intellect). ICRMS inform us the difference in electrical power in the power station and in our body.
12. ICRMS helps us understand that though the intensity of the electricity in the power station and our homes are different; the DNA of the electricity in the power station & home are identical.
13. In the same way, the cognition of Divinity's that powers the expansive universe and our personality (limited body, mind and intellect) may be perceived to be different; however, the DNA of the Divine Universal Personality is also core to our being.
13. Only an enlightened one know and experience this truth - true reality within us. This is the essence of Advaitha Philosophy & Mahan's I-GOD philosophy.
Santhosam and peace be with you.

ESSENCE OF GP MAHAN'S PHILOSOPHY - ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, YOUTUBE CLIP 26, PART 3
This lecture is based on youtube clip 26 that cover the MONISM/ADVAITHA SCHOOL OF THOUGHT.
In previous lecture, I spoke about why we do not cognise the "true" reality. This is due to:
1. AVIDYA - absence of knowledge (lack of illumination) and erroneous knowledge.
2. ADHYASA - superimposition or projection on the substates of God or previous experiences and thoughts (an unillumined state of true reality).
3. MAYA - the powers of avarana - power of veiling and vilshepa (distortions/projections). These causes an individual to identify themself with the empirical self or the body.
Here are examples of how the mind is caught in Avidya, Adhyasa and Maya.
EXAMPLE 1: Flower & buttefly or a face- Figure 1.
This picture for some may look like a face. But, when you look closely it looks like flowers & butterfly. It seems the the mind superimposes these images.
EXAMPLE 2: Snake & Role- Figure 2
From far a person may see the rope as a snake. The mind super imposes this image. But careful observation reveal it is a rope.
EXAMPLE 3: MIRAGE OF WATER ON THE ROAD- Figure 3
When we drive on a hot day, often we see water on the road. As we get closer, we see the water is not present.
The above examples highlight the nature of the human mind. Our mind tends to super impose images that is different from the true reality.
The mind tends to distort the true reality.
Only when we carefully examine, we cognise the true reality and nature of a phenomenon.
This is why introspection, contemplation, reflection and meditation (ICRM) are very important for revealing the true nature of a phenomenon.
In the same way, our mind distorts who we we are - we think we are made up of bodily experiences (object body - small i), but in essence we are the subject (the transcedental SELF, the BIG-I).
Only through ICRM, we discover our true reality - the SELF!
Essentially, ICRM is the foundation of the Advaitha School of Thought and that of HH GP Mahan's I-GOD PHILOSOPHY.
To be continued ...
Santhosam and peace be with you.
