THE FOUR MEDITATION TECHNIQUES OF DIVINE LIGHT MISSION
These are the four secret meditation
techniques, sometimes called The Four Kryjas, taught to me after six
months of intense brainwashing by the Divine Light Mission cult which I was
fortunate enough to escape from in 1985. My full story from those days is
online at BRAINWASHED
- A CULT SURVIVOR'S TALE
Maharaji would have followers believe
that he has exclusive rights to the meditation techniques as if invented by the
line of living gods he claims descent from - In fact they are not new at all -
they are even described in the Bagavad Gita. Many meditation handbooks carry
the instructions for exactly the same practices. The Kryjas are the most
closely guarded secret in the cult. Followers take an oath never to reveal them
to others. As the cult surrounding Maharaji is a travesty and a mockery of
beliefs, I have no reservations about sharing the meditations with you now, right
here.
1/. THE LIGHT - By focusing in
total darkness on the third eye, with your fingers appropriately placed, with
thumb and middle finger resting just below the eyebrows, (thumb in one eye and
third finger in the other), and your index finger resting gently against the
centre of your temple, you close your real eyes and concentrate. You should see
the light forming inside your head. Many see it as a white glow; clichés like
brighter than a thousand suns, and I just had my head opened and a torch shone
in, are common. At first, I saw zilch. On the second try I saw a bright, thin
orange line of light turning over and over on itself slowly. After you learn
the Light, your initiator reads quotations from saints like Anselm &
Augustine to convince you that they also saw The Light you have seen. Similar
quotations follow revelation of the other three techniques given below.
2/. THE MUSIC - involves
concentrating on the primordial vibration that activates the Universe, the
so-called ‘Music of the Spheres’. You hear it by placing your thumbs in your
ears and pulling back just far enough not to be listening to the blood pounding
through your ears, which is of course, exactly what you are meditating on, not
God’s Song Of All Creation, as Maharaji would have you believe. .
3/. THE HOLY NAME (THE VIBRATION) -
Inhale slowly, deeply, smoothly, through your nose, and then slowly exhale, but
before all the air is out you start breathing in again, and you just keep
going, never quite letting all the air out. This overfeeds the brain with
oxygen, and creates an artificial but potent drug like high which can
obliterate some brain cells in the process. It intoxicates the mind like a slow
hyperventilation (normally achieved by rapid gasping for breath). Long term
practitioners have claimed an inability to read books or do simple arithmetic
any more. This is the most important technique, and used often in direct
conjunction with the other three techniques. It is also the one technique you
can practice round the clock, as was expected of DLM followers, and it believed
that you can, with practice, even perform the holy name in your sleep. You are
supposed to breath the holy name in all activity and throughout your working
day.
4/. THE NECTAR - This involves a slight sounding addition to the holy
name technique in which you move your tongue back as far is it will go towards
the naval cavity and keep it there as you breath the holy name. This allows you
to supposedly breath in all the sweet tastes in the Universe, while in fact you
are only inhaling mucous, and snot dripping down the cavity towards the throat.
Many followers damaged their tongue muscles using this technique, and while I
never came across a case, the danger of actually swallowing your tongue seems
very apparent.
The reason for secrecy about the meditations is that Maharaji wants followers to think they won't work without him - the truth is the opposite - without your money continuing to be paid into supporting him, he cannot maintain the life of extreme luxury he is so used to. You are no more dependent on him to practice these meditations than you are dependent on your swimming instructor to be present whenever you swim once he has finished showing you the basics.
