EVOLUTION:

The descent of Shiva-Shakti as BrahmaSatya And the start of the movement now called

Brahma Satya Reiki

It is extremely difficult for me to exactly pinpoint when exactly Brahma Satya Reiki began to evolve. I say this because after going through many different situations and experiences (where quite unknown aspects of my own life were revealed to me), and after logically evaluating the events that occurred time after time, I can only say that maybe I was chosen up for this purpose a long time back. Only I had no idea whatsoever this would happen.

 I had learned the first degree of traditional Reiki in May 1994 by accident. That is, an accident was the cause of my learning it. I had never wanted to learn it even though my own family was deeply involved in co-ordinating for the arrangements of Reiki workshops in Bhilai and Durg since January 1994. Nature created situations then for me to be drawn into this system. Gradually, my progress in this field continued.  I received advice from my mother, father and wife, who were all my seniors in this field. My father, Shri Mukund Hardikar, became a Reiki master in January 1996 and again since this was a house activity, I got further involved by assisting my father. I myself became a traditional Reiki master in December 1996 and then became involved in the teaching field.

 In June 1997, I found myself looking at the darker face of Reiki. I was witnessing Reiki shopping with Reiki mastership being openly sold and purchased from the Reiki shops. The resulting chaos had disturbed me greatly as I continued to witness the total disregard of the principles of Reiki under the garb of its expansion. I used to get upset listening to the manipulative twists that human speech could make. I was a witness to the mud slashing, backbiting and backstabbing occurring within this pious field. I made the choice to plunge myself into this sugar coated poisonous environment, while staying aloof from all of these developing courses and just doing what my heart could accept.

From the middle of July 1997, my schedules had become extremely tight and uncontrollable situations developed where on the one hand I had to put up with additional chores or work and responsibilities and on the other hand, it was just that I was all alone in deep pain in this world. This was a period when for some reason or the other, sleep and rest evaded me.

 I had this experience of realization on the night of the 6th of August 1997, which was no different than any of the other previous nights. As usual, I had completed my Reiki practice and was lying on the bed unable to sleep. I was finding myself physically, emotionally and mentally exhausted even after the Reiki session and just kept tossing and turning, trying to sleep somehow. My throat seemed to have dried out and frequently I had to keep getting up to drink water. I was sweating unusually in this period. I do not know how long did all this continued. Finally, it was as if I did not have any strength left in me to even attempt sleep. All that I was doing was just lying down on the bed in a wakeful, blank state completely oblivious to the surroundings and myself.

Suddenly a voice seemed to have told me:

"Now it is 3:30 a.m., the Brahma muhurtam begins now." Immediately, I experienced a surge of tremendous heat build-up within me and could feel a very strong energy current flow throughout my body, within and around. My entire body was sort of trembling under the influence of these intense vibrations. I could also feel the tremors effecting the bed also for it seemed to be shaking. I was sweating profusely as never before and could feel even the mattress to have been drenched with sweat all throughout. Shortly, in the darkness, there was a terrific sparkle from within me and around me. A shining golden light was all around me, spreading and widening. The sparkling continued and it was most wonderful in this golden light. This golden light had engulfed me completely and slowly this merged within me. Yet again, I experienced a further surge of heat build-up and the body trembling was enhanced. A sparkling, shining bright white globe of light appeared and descended within my head and engulfed my body simultaneously. After a while, all of this settled down, and I was at that time experiencing bliss, again oblivious of the surroundings. I then heard a voice, which told me to put this experience on record and that this was a fresh beginning and more experiences were to be followed in due course. The voice further said:  “Aham Satyasmi, Aham Shabdasmi, Aham Brahmasmi,” which meant "I am the truth, I am the word, I am the universe." It again repeated: "Record this experience. You may not remember it at its end. Whenever you now begin to record, the words will flow out truthfully." The voice further said - "The lotus and amrit create righteousness and light, the light when reaches out to the nakshatras, the Shiva-Shakti surfaces, spreads and effects the entire earth." The voice then went on to explain revolutionary concepts of the universe, and explained the various aspects of Reiki in a manner unheard of before. Before parting, the voice said, "At the time being focus upon practicing the concepts told to you. In due course of time, you will be directed accordingly."

After this may be I had gone into a trance. I woke up around 6:30 a.m. on the morning of the 7th of August 1997 in disbelief of what had happened earlier. But then, the mattress was still completely drenched and wet. I did not understand what had happened, but just recorded the event as I was directed to do. In my Reiki practice, I noticed a drastic change on the 7th of August itself. The change was so phenomenal that I was convinced that something had happened with me.  I knew not what, but could trust the words of the voice that had declared that it was a fresh beginning. The energy flows through the palms were greatly intensified and in this flow I was actually sort of hearing the sound of gushing water. It was a cool soothing feeling overall but the palms felt as if they were literally burning. Sweat was oozing out the palms when healing. The pulsations upon the palm had changed. It was of a different kind, more subtle, more intense and it was not just at the palms, the whole body used to sort of tremble pleasingly with the experience. The flows were sort of moving such that I was at times getting lifted up, sometimes pulled down while being pushed to the left or the right.

I had conveyed this experience to three other people on the August 8th, 1997, when I was taking a Traditional Reiki third degree class. The lessons continued for me after this and I was taken through fresh practices of Reiki in this period, systematically. As my practice continued, I involved some others also providing them with some symbols on which they had to practice healings for self and others and I was understanding this fresh system through my experiences and also the experiences of the others.

It was at the Brahma muhurtam of the 14th of August 1997 that this being that was teaching me these fresh concepts and guiding me to its appropriate practice revealed his identity to me. I have no doubt whatsoever and know with absolute certainty who my teacher is, and I respect my teacher totally and regard my teacher as my Swami - the Master. I have been chosen to get this system to work and operate at grassroots levels. This is now my purpose in life. My teacher has provided it selflessly with unconditional love and care for the entire scope of life forms. I do not disclose the name of my teacher openly, to waive off any controversies that might surface with the disclosure. This issue is not for arguments, claims or counter-claims. As regards to the identity of my teacher, it shall be obvious for all those who could look beyond the translucent curtain. It is not of any importance for anyone who may not be able to do so

I had another experience similar to the one I had earlier on the 7th of August on the 11th of September 1997. This time to add up upon the earlier experiences was that I was experiencing a formation and flow of bubbles within my whole of the body. Simultaneously, I was hearing the sounds of many big bells ringing- ringing vigorously, creating cosmic nadas. The experience involved ecstatic feelings of immense pleasure and tremendous pain simultaneously. The complete spine was shaken up in this experience. It was in this experience that the voice declared for the first time - "This from now would be the Brahma Satya Reiki", and then it went on to describe and explain further details.

Another similar experience followed on the 25th of September 1997. This time, red fire stands were being discharged from within my entire body. Suddenly a huge golden throne developed within upon which a huge Shiva-Shakti linga was seated. Bright shining lights were emanating out from this Shiva-Shakti linga and the throne began glowing brightly and golden shine encompassed everything. The voice took up the form of words from within in this experience and further descriptions and explanations began to evolve from within through the flow of words.

The last experience of similar kind occurred on the 23rd and 24th of October 1997. In the daytime of the 23rd of October 1997, I was taken through a journey into the time dimension in similar states. On the night of the 23rd October, sometime after midnight, I had an experience of my crown chakra being forcibly opened up and white milk being poured into me from here by two big kalashas simultaneously. This experience had evoked a pain absolutely unbearable and it would not subside or settle down. This happened in a train journey and Dr. Mahesh Sinha was accompanying me then. On account of this severe unbearable pain, I was guided to request Mahesh to provide me with a healing session at around 4:00 a.m. Dr. Mahesh Sinha may have extended touch healings to me for maybe around 10 minutes and I was relieved of my pain completely. In the morning, Dr. Mahesh Sinha reported that after this session, he had experienced the deepest sleep of his entire life so far. This was how; Brahma Satya Reiki extended towards Dr. Mahesh Sinha, who was destined to become its associate teacher.
