1. My body is a temple. All parts of my body are made by Goddess and are divine. They are seats of all powers: manifest and latent. They are the real Sakti Peethas.
2. Sex is sacred. It is the source of life. Genitals are sacred. I worship them as Siva and Sakti.
3. Sri Chakra is located in all the female genitals at the clitoris. It has been called the Jewel in the Lotus. It is most sacred, and secret, yet known to everyone. I worship the Sri Chakra, a circle of devotees to connect me to the source of cosmos.
4. Whatever whatever sins I committed, I did in a state of ignorance. Then I was in a hypnosis. Now I am awake. This awakened being did not commit those things. I do not feel shame, nor will I punish myself for what I was. Past is past, gone for ever. I forgive myself, as I forgive all others the wrongs they did tome. Now I can laugh at my mistakes, and others ignorance. Is a five year old less than a ten year old? All are evolving. I don’t have to hate ignorance. Darkness cant be where light is.
5. I love myself. I deserve love. I deserve riches. I deserve joy, happiness, health. I have them. I share them. I will see people’s happiness.
6. I will think of Goddess always. In my sadness, in my pleasure. More so in my pleasure, because that is when I tend to forget Her.
7. My mother, father, guru, guests, relatives and friends, and all help me; I express my gratitude for their help every day mentally and through actions. I will serve them with compassion.
8. Even my enemies have life; and life is Devi. So I respect them, forgive them, and try to look at their point of view and make friends. If I can’t do it, I will love them all the same, do not reject them, but maintain a respectful distance. My love does not expect that they should love me in return. It has no conditions attached. I share because I like sharing. That is all.
9. Expressing love through thought word and deed are the sure means for unlimited abundance, health, and pleasure. It is my birth right to enjoy these good things of life.
10. In every outgoing breath, my anxieties and worries are getting out. With every incoming breath, peace is coming in. I am happy here and now. I have plenty of energy flowing through me. I am enjoying bliss, energy, wealth, love and pleasure independent of external circumstances.
Mark those that appeal to you. Repeat them every day and make them your own. You will see your life change in perceptible ways.

My dear all,
Here is why I exist, and what my dreams are.
“There are two kinds of laws: those made by us and those made by Nature. As long as our laws match those of Nature, She will give us wisdom, bounty, and creative purpose to our lives. When abused and raped, She turns violent.
I believe in the power of Nature as a loving Goddess. I have seen Her physically manifest once. She has been my mentor through decades of meditations. I could only wonder at Her impossibly perfect and dynamic beauty, passion for love, and bounty of creativity. She made me build a temple for love (Rati), Kāmākhyā, in the form of Her creative center. And another unique temple in the form of Her bosom, called Śrī Meru, for protecting and nourishing humanity. She has shown and taught me great ancient erotic practices cutting across the world’s Goddess cults which emphasize love over manipulation. Now She is asking me to build an international temple not confined by walls, as a layer on the internet.
She can be approached through many good deeds done in past lives, or by Her grace flowing through a wise Guru. She made me create graphic learning modules for connecting to Her. She made me use technology as a means of initiation or immersion, and to accelerate the learning curve. Her purpose is to promote quality of life.
What is my purpose? I believe that however small I am in the vastness of this world, yet there is a purpose and goal for my life. I made every effort to discover it and live by the truths I learned.
If you are like me, perhaps you would do the same. Your purpose and dreams may be different from mine, but all of them spring from the same fountain of care and love. Everyone preaches love. It is high time we start walking the talk. We owe it to our future generations.
What are my dreams?
I dream of Devīpuram as a center for incubating dreams of a holy pilgrimage from birth to rebirth. I firmly believe that love comes from wisdom to overcome greed.
I dream of the days when everyone can get pure water to drink. It can come from air even in a desert, with little help from the Sun.
I dream when all people live in comfortable homes using solar cooling and heating.
I dream of the poor getting a light to study after the Sun has set.
I dream of not destroying the greenery on Earth and saving oxygen which sustains life.
I dream of the days when all of us can hug each other with love and see the divine spark in all of us.
I dream of a generous world where the haves support the have-nots.
Are these empty pipe dreams? Let us probe a little.
Guruji at Devipuram, 2007
Internet technology for teaching being natural, and its values through mobiles. Power of mantra goes through voice; it can be an audio file. Convergence of audio, document, and video are being used to flip classes in distant education, where coursework is done at home instead of a classroom and problem-solving is done through conferencing. Mobiles go wherever you go. Learning happens at a place and time of your choice (even while driving to work), and at a speed comfortable to learn. Love can and should transcend boundaries of country, color, and creed.
I ask: if threats to nations could be delivered through a video, why not care and love be delivered through it?
Instead of chastising China for dumping excellent but cheap solar panels to compete with grid, we can thank it for making its human resources available to solve power problems of the world. Solar is green tech, preserves ecology for our descendants. It can provide clean water, comfort, and power to increase time available for learning. And it moves capacity to dream and execute them from urban to rural areas, providing a level playing ground for big and small enterprises alike.
I am trying to find out if you have similar dreams.
Can’t breathe ; Birth process.
Some unkind force cut my breath.
I cry. Fluid gushed out.
I take my first breath.
An inspiration! My second pleasure!
Again I felt empty and sought eagerly for I don’t know what.
Something poked into mouth. I sucked. Nectar poured into me
from my mother. And milk, the juice of life. I was never so happy.
I felt; I could drink milk for ever.
Alas, that was not to be. Milk ran out. Sucked and sucked, no juice came out.
I get angry; I bit. Mother beat me. She would feed me something I don’t like.
Then she cuddles me, which I like, and tells me stories, I like them more than food.
Slowly, I began to like that food too.
Slowly I understand that I and my mother are not one anymore.
I recognize my father, but not as myself.
Now, more misery than happiness.
I thought: I have three mothers and a father.
The mother that gave birth to me,
that fed me,
that told stories and sang for me.
I liked my father. He gives me presents, and takes me for rides.
Mother always works.
I don’t like my father to shout at Her, or Her crying.
I tell her, it will be alright.
A day will come when he won’t be angry with you for each and everything.
A day will come when misery ends for everyone.
When father and mother are one again.
I did not know how it will happen, but I know it will.
Then I grow big. And years pass.
Learning. Few times getting what I want.
Then I was asking, why did I want it?
Many times not getting what I wanted.
At such times I asked; why was I born?
To suffer misery all the time?
Why are the bad people happy and good ones unhappy?
Is there a God?
How could abundant Nature be so cruel too?
I never got the right answers.
Until I met Her.
She wore male clothes. But was female inside, alright. She was called Venkaṭī Īśvara, meaning She was the Lord in the olden days. Now She is called Bālājī, or Venkateśvara.
What a thrill went through my body when I met Her! I longed for Her. She did not fail me. She came to me. And taught me many things. Like how to read new books with closed eyes. How to walk on rainbows. Like how to make lotuses bloom and put fragrance.
She kept company with me for twelve years. She told me, you see, we are all one. Pleasure is sacred. Cruelty is sin. I don't understand why cruelty can be shown publicly in media, but not pleasurable sex which is sacred. I don't like cruelty. I love life. I like you all to enjoy life openly. Yes, this is what She told me in so many beautiful ways.
I forgot to tell you. She also told me She is ready to teach all who open up to Her.
A life of enjoyment. Life is enjoyment, a commitment to joy. Life is a holiday. To make the holiday more enjoyable, you work sometimes. Why hide your joy and wear the masks of misery? Except you humans, the whole of life is enjoying openly.
Work is also pleasure. Pleasure of receiving, and pleasure of giving. Entertainment is an industry too. Love is the child of pleasure. The God of love is the son of pleasure.
I closed my eyes and saw. It was true. The kingdom of Goddess is inside me. I made an offering of thanks to Her. I built a temple for Goddesses as She directed me. Thousands will remove their masks every day and enjoy fun. There is a place for fun as in the golden days of tantric Khajurāho.
I did my job. I thought there was more to do. But She put the doubt in me. Do you have to do it? Give somebody else a chance.
I am waiting for you. People will never leave you in peace. Die to the world, so that you don't have to do anything anymore. You be with me always. Because I love you.
Let them worship you as me. Does it make a difference by what name you are called? God of the Seven Hills or Goddess of the Seven Seas? Is there a high and low, up and down, left and right, life and death? Only the dream play of time.
Wake up, from waking state! Enter me, I can't wait any longer.
I close my eyes. So I can be with Her always. Do nothing. This is the point of no return. It is a one-way street. I forgot how to talk or sign. Will someone do it for me, please?
“Listen!” Kāmākhyā said, “Here I am residing with Ānanda Bhairava (Śiva in his happy mood). As I am happy, I want to bless the devotees with the same happiness!
So many centuries ago there were celebrations and happy rejoicing in this place of worship (Devīpuram) with yajñas, Vedic chant, and many offerings in the fire. This place was invigorating to the people who visited here. It gave devotees religious fervor and filled their minds with total and supreme blissful Consciousness (cid-ānanda-paripūrṇa-prakāśam).
This place once again needs to be made into a place of religious worship, and it is you who will help me to do it! You have to carry the task of rediscovering this place!
The social scene is highly polluted now. Many have become slaves of materialism which turns away from Self-realization. They are like the Creator who fell in love with His own creation.
The act of union in love, as the root of Creation, has become ridiculed into lust and egoistic passion, since the divinity of Love is lost in the temporary act of satisfying momentary egoistic needs (indriya prakopam). Therefore atheists sneer when śṛṅgāra (loving for love’s sake) is mentioned anywhere.
All these misconceptions, greed, and falsehood are making life miserable. Because of such behavior people lose peace and hence cannot find happiness. This so-called ‘right social behavior’ is actually causing unease and misery.
All this should change!
Before these arrogant people degrade even further, they must be taught or reminded of the easy, comfortable, genuine way of life — so that they can become happy and have enough time to think beyond egoistical concerns. Reach out to those who are fortunate enough to help themselves!
The institution of marriage can be taken as an example. People, through generations and time immemorial, believed in marriage with a different understanding. Ancient marriages of love sanctified religious duties. Now marriages have become mere acts of egoistical convenience and gain.
Hence one should not impose bondage on the couple. In ancient times it was a way of life. Now it has become a loveless contract.
It is time for people to understand the beauty and comfort of co-existence, to bring children who are happy, well-behaved, self-satisfied, and altruistic. This is the need of modern time.
Śṛṅgāra is nothing but preparation or getting ready for union in love, also decorating oneself in the most beautiful and appealing way (what the present generation calls “makeup”).
In ancient times Love was one of the sixty-four arts of life (catuḥṣaṣṭi kalās) that one should know for successful and happy living. Nowadays the word is translated as lust, which demeans this art to its lowest degree.
Śṛṅgāra is known in ancient literature as Kāmakalā. It resides in the Mūlādhāra Cakra, coming down via Suṣumṇā Nāḍī as a Vaikharī Śabda. Through it a person is identified with Earth. This type of planned creation and its execution is beautiful and ecstatic.
In the human body Mūlādhāra is the seat of creation. From the Supreme Void, Supreme Consciousness identifies itself as Sun and Moon energy and also Fire energy and enters the human body through Suṣumṇā.
Mūlādhāra works through the South Pole on Earth, and in the solar system through Saturn. Mūlādhāra is a four-petaled lotus where each petal represents one Veda or one side of Earth.
Here, on Earth, in its bīja (seminal) form rides an elephant holding an infant in Her lap. This infant is none other than Lord Śiva Himself. Therefore we are called “Bāṭukas.”
The elephant is Airāvata. Airāvata is the vāhana of Indra, which means “lightning.” When two heavy clouds rub, lightning is generated. This represents inherent electrical discharge — the imminent seed of Earth.
Mūlādhāra is also the seat of Svayambhū in Liṅga rūpa (self-created phallus). It has the red form. This is the subliminal aura manifesting from homogeneous Consciousness (Parā Śakti). It is static energy of Lord Īśvara — self-created, yet creating everything. This is the truth of life and also the duality of creation.
At Kāmākhyā (Devīpuram) the Goddess appeared like this: a water hole six feet deep with Śivaliṅga, surrounded by a triangle. This confirms it as a representation of the Mūlādhāra center.
Here Devī appeared as Universal Creation, Universal Mother (Yoni), Universal Father (Liṅga), the seat of all creation (Viśva Yoni).
Hence there is no place for lust here. Only controlled divine behavior exists.
Śṛṅgāra control in love-play is something common people may not understand. It seems an oxymoron, but it was traditional behavior of Ṛṣis.
When this happens, materialistic approach disappears. Love is expressed and experienced in a controlled manner. Control means more energy.
Energy in Mūlādhāra travels upward through Suṣumṇā toward Viśuddhi Cakra, transforming into positive kinetic energy, then further toward Sahasrāra where it becomes light energy, manifesting as halo or aura.
Viśukra and Viśaṅga are commanders of Bhaṇḍāsura, representing roots of sin. Viśukra misleads sexuality toward prostitution and lust. Viśaṅga supports this.
Vārāhī destroys them by controlling sexual energy and directing it toward Viśuddhi and Sahasrāra. Conserved śukra (semen) energy evolves to higher levels.
Humanity is in need of direction. They need a leader to lead them to the righteous path.
I am here with this explicit purpose.
I need a tool to fulfill this job.
You are the tool.
I will be with you.
Society will ridicule you, disbelieve you, criticize you, your methods, and even the concept. They may get angry, try to punish you, put you behind bars, or even try to kill you.
Why are you afraid? You are already encaged by buddhi, ahaṅkāra, and ego.
Are you afraid of death? This is not your first birth nor your last. One more death — how does it matter?
Be brave and enterprising.
Take the job and be my tool.
I will lead you.
Come with me!
We shall work together.
This place will soon become a religious citadel which will protect and improve the spiritual and mental health of people.
I experienced many things: I saw 10–20 of my previous lives; expansion of time — during one night I lived a whole life... various things like that. But it is much better for you to have your own experience.
You need to have a Guru who can help you to cope with difficulties. Fortunately, in my case it happened that it was a Guru inside me, so I didn’t need to go anywhere. And I wish to communicate with you in a way in which you can get connected to your inner Guru. That will be the most appropriate thing I can do for you: not to give you an Experience directly, but the means to get this experience is what is the subject of discussion.
Ritual is one way, meditation is another way, yoga is another, tantra is another... there are so many ways and you have to choose the right path. When the time is right, Guru comes to you. And Guru is inside of you — your own effort is your Guru.
What I am trying to say is: don’t accept blindly what others say (including myself). Depend on yourself. Your experience is ultimate.
Make efforts to eliminate your bondage; God will come Himself and remove them all. To get everything, Guru’s grace is necessary, followed by your untiring effort. How to gain grace? Grace will be proportional to effort on sādhana.
First time in Devīpuram, when Guruji was blessed by the Goddess, She appeared to him as a sixteen-year-old beautiful maiden. He was dumbfounded and stood transfixed. She smiled at him and beckoned him to do the necessary pūjā to the guest of honour, Herself.
“There is nothing here! No drop of water! What can I offer you?!” — he questioned Her. As he was completing his sentence there was a sudden cloudburst! With that water he offered Her Arghyam (water to drink), Pādyam (water to wash Her feet), and did the pūjā. She was pleased! He was satisfied and choked with happiness.
The grace and Her aura filled the Universe. The beauty of Her smile and Her attire is beyond imagination of the common human mind. It was so bright... it felt as if the Universe draws its light from the radiance emanated. She accepted Guruji’s offerings and took his hand in Her hand. The rain continued. They walked together in the rain. Goddess was leading, while Guruji was in a trance. Jīvātma and Paramātma together — they came down the hillock and moved towards the future Śrī Meru temple.
Just like one who is walking in sleep, not knowing where and how, Guruji walked with Her. He had no identity of his own. He became one with Her! He is Her! She is him! He is insignificant, minuscule, in the hands of the Great Power that is the Supreme Leader — taking him into the luminescent worlds one by one.
He was praying to Her:
“Please! I would like to be with you! A part of you! One with you! The happiness of this blissful state is all I want! Nothing else would be important to me anymore. Your love! Your tenderness! Your kindness! They are drenching me in a torrent of Amṛta. This is what I want! How can you be so benevolent to me?! This is beyond everything I expected! This is what I live for! For without life I cannot experience this. This experience I want to relish for many lives of my future! Please Mother! Let me!”
His physical being became nonexistent. His mind and soul were dancing with inexplicable joy! He was conversing with Her. They reached the Śrī Meru temple site. There, as he observed in his transcendental state of happiness, She left him slowly, gradually, and silently as he was standing there in awe. She is like a lightning, enlightening everything around, and then disappeared. She has gone! But the experience lived with him.
Transferring power to imagine, nourish, and manifest an environment which supports your vision is initiation. It happens by making you understand your true potential. There is no higher purpose than to know the sleeping powers you have and that you can reinvent your destiny by tuning into the universal mind. The transmitter of such powers is the Guru; the receiver is the disciple.
Dissolve matter into spirit is the theme song of Śrīvidyā. It starts explaining concepts of solidity and shape, the identity = ego we are taught to assume. It proceeds in seven steps:
Solid
Liquid
Fire
Air
Space
Time
Unknown
The first step, moving from solid to liquid, meaning shape to shapelessness, is described as Gaṇapati in the tradition of Śrīvidyā. The ritual makes a paste of impurities connected to the idea of my body. With mantra repetition, spoon after spoon of perfumed water is poured over a pyramid, a symbol of spirit encased in a body. Your actions dissolve the pyramid, and you experience flowing out of your body, an ecstasy. Along with the body, the individual consciousness dissolves into collective consciousness.
Let me explain. Let us suppose that we place four pyramids in a big plate, and four of us do this ritual together. Initially each pyramid (each of us) contains its own awareness. As the pyramids dissolve, the awarenesses leak out and in the end, they all become one.
What have we achieved? Four separate persons have become one single person. The idea of this person contains all the ideas of all of us. So you know the thoughts of the remaining three of us as your own thoughts. We don’t have to tell them to you.
The first step in Śrīvidyā is giving the mantra of Gaṇapati. Why? To enlarge your ideas of who you are. To let the people you know support your ideas, and you support theirs. If n people become one, the power each one has is n(n−1). If ten persons become one, each of them gets ninety times more power than they have now. The power increases exponentially. The happiness increases similarly. Ease of solving problems increases similarly. Problems which loomed large become trivial now.
The key is to tune into collective consciousness, to be able to read the mind of Goddess Nature. The ideas rising in the collective are not exactly the same as the ideas in fragmented minds. So there is no risk of wanting the wrong thing.
If we want to transform a world having 5000 million people, we need only the square root of that number of people. What is it? Square root of 5000 is 70, and that of a million is a thousand. So 70,000 people can decide to change the world and own the power to do it. Together we can change the society. Individually I have very little influence.
