Guruji's teachings
Aiya, a disciple of Guruji, retells how Guruji answered people who asked why he could see deities and they could not.
From the teachings of Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji), in the words of his disciple Aiya. Post title: "Why Guruji could see deities that we cannot see?". Dated 5 November 2016. Posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra. Originally published at amritananda-natha-saraswati.blogspot.com.
Aiya: My own guru was a scientist; he was a nuclear physicist before he retired. When he explains spiritual concepts, he always explains in terms of physics, in a way that people can understand. So, he would say have to have a basic understanding of a solar spectrum. The electromagnetic spectrum of energy is huge; the bandwidth is very big. Out of that, the human perception is a tiny sliver; that is the extent to which we can see and experience it. On one side is 3,500 angstrom units, on the other side is 6,000 angstrom units. This is what Guruji explains to people who ask him why he can see deities and they can’t. Through constant practice and focus and meditation, you can increase the bandwidth of your perception of that field. The deities vibrate in a different frequency; not in ours.
Aiya, as posted on Guruji's blog by Vira Chandra on 5 November 2016, under the title "Why Guruji could see deities that we cannot see?". The text is kept as in the original.
In Kaula practice the deity is invoked in a yantra, in the fire of a homam, or in the body of the worshipper. Many people do this for years without seeing anything and start to doubt. Aiya's account gives a simple way to hold this: the deity is there, in a range we have not yet learned to sense.
Guruji's answer puts the weight on practice, focus and meditation. In daily life that means regular japa, puja or quiet sitting, kept up over time.
The same idea can be carried into nature. Earth, water, fire, air and space are all around us, and much of what moves in them is outside our normal senses. Quiet attention to the elements is one more way to train that wider sense.
Aiya says Guruji explained it with the spectrum of light. Human perception covers only a tiny part of it, and deities vibrate at a frequency outside ours.
Aiya says that through constant practice, focus and meditation you can increase the bandwidth of your perception. The post gives no shortcut and no timeline.
Guruji was a nuclear physicist before he retired and often explained spiritual ideas in terms of physics. Here the spectrum shows that what we see is a small part of what exists.
In this post Aiya gives it as about 3,500 to 6,000 angstrom units, a small slice of the whole spectrum of energy.
Aiya is a disciple of Guruji. In this post he calls Guruji "my own guru".
