Sri Bhagavan Darshan with Japan

Question 1:By your grace many blessing givers, trainers and their families were saved when the disastrous earthquake and tsunami happened in Japan and many miracles have happened here and there. Thank you so much for saving us. Please give us your help even from now on. Bhagavan as you know the country of Japan is a small island. But there are lots of volcanoes and earthquakes happen frequently and since our country is an island, always we have been threatened by tsunamis, and also during the second world war only Japan has experienced the attack by atomic bombs twice in Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The scale the earthquake and tsunami this time was very, very big and the accident of the nuclear power plant caused by the earthquake and tsunami is very serious, like that of Chernobyl. We Japanese are very shocked by this accident and not only Japanese people, people surrounding Japan are also afraid of its influences. Every Japanese person is now living with fear and uncertainty. Even we who are helping the victims of this occurrence now have a heavy feeling covering all over Japan. Even blessing givers and trainers are experiencing this heaviness, this heavy feeling. Bhagavan, what important signal has this occurrence given to us?

Sri Bhagavan: This tsunami which happened in Japan is of great significance for Japan as well as the world. Japan is going through a turning point, politically, socially, economically and at the level of consciousness. Despite the crisis, Japan is going to emerge very strong economically, politically, socially and in terms of awakening too and this time Japan is not alone. The world's prayers are with Japan.

I have always said the internal condition creates the external condition. Whatever happened in Japan is because of the inner condition of the Japanese people as well as the rest of humanity. The rest of humanity is who has to bear responsibility of whatever happened in Japan. This crisis is bringing together the people of the world. Everywhere prayers are being held for the people of Japan. As far as the Japanese people are concerned, they must collectively give deeksha to the map of Japan. This will help Japan very fast.

You can select a particular time right in your homes. Have the map of Japan before you and give deeksha to it at the same time. After the tsunami in Japan, awakening is happening at a faster pace now. If you can do this collectively you will see Japan is going to move very, very fast in terms of consciousness.

The Japanese people are very good at doing things collectively so let us hope they show the way and you will soon see the heaviness in the air disappear. There will also be special prayers at the Oneness Temple for Japan.

Question 2:What is the difference of role between Japanese people who were damaged and suffered directly by this event and Japanese people who were not damaged directly. How should these two groups of people work with each other so that we could learn something from this occurrence?

Bhagavan:The Japanese people who are affected would certainly awaken faster. Those who are not affected by watching others who are affected, suffer and afterwards are suffering would themselves grow rapidly. The unaffected people as they help the affected people, they would see rapid growth in themselves.

Question 3:Bhagavan, recently in your teaching with the webcast, you compare the awakened one with unawakened person. You say that "The Awakened One sees the imperfect as perfect in itself and hence rejoices in the way things are." Since I am not awakened maybe it's natural that I can't understand how an awakened person feels. But why can the awakened person see the imperfect as perfect ? Why? Is it because an awakened person doesn't judge?

Bhagavan:The unawakened person experiences all things through his mind, and hence he can say, "this is right, this is wrong; this is perfect, this is not perfect." The awakened person directly experiences all things without mind. There is only the experience. Since there is only the experience, there is no such thing as a right experience or a wrong experience. All things are perfect. But you should not try to practice that. When you become awakened, naturally it happens.

Question 4:Bhagavan, thank you for guiding us. Now in Japan trainers are conducting Bhakti Yoga 1 and 2 here and there. In the explanation of Bhakti Yoga, about the word "Avahanam", we are taught that Avahanam is a spiritual technology from ancient India. Could you explain more about this Avahanam?

Bhagavan:Yes, in India we have an ancient.... .where we take a picture of an..... then move our consciousness into it. Thereafter, the picture of idol has the same qualities of the consciousness of the person who moved his consciousness into the picture of the idol. You take a picture of the idol and you move your consciousness into it.

Like for example, Amma and Bhagavan have moved their consciousness into the picture. Now the picture has come alive. It has the same qualities of the physical AmmaBhagavan and as many copies you make of the picture, all the copies have the same quality. Even if you draw a picture of AmmaBhagavan it will have the same quality. This in India is called Avahanam. Like for example they'll do in a temple: install an idol and call a deity to move his consciousness into the idol. We have used the same ancient techniques.

Question 5:Bhagavan, you said that for Awakening there are several levels like some people suffer 30 minutes, other persons only 20 minutes, others 10 and others 5 minutes and then for the fully awakened person there is no suffering at all. Are there also several levels about God Realization? Also when God Realized, how do we feel? Is there any change in our daily consciousness and perception? Please tell us about God Realization.

Bhagavan:Like there are various levels of Awakening, there are also various levels of Realization. At the first level you see and you talk to God. That is considered God Realization. At the final level you realize you are only the God. Like Christ said "I and my Father are one." At the final stages you actually discover you have not become that God, you always were God only.

Question 6:Bhagavan, please remove from us our fear, anxiety and psychological hurt completely, and give us blessing. Give us courage so that our country regain spirit again.

Bhagavan:I am giving the fullest blessing to Japan. At Oneness Temple and in Golden City we are conducting special prayers for Japan and we expect Japan to awaken very, very fast. Looking at all of you on the screen is such an inspiration. May you all make...... Namaste.

Audience:We love you, Bhagavan!
