 Time Vortex: Journey begins on Jan 30th (Full Moon) and like the moon waning to be the New Moon, as Spirit, Mahasivrathri 2010 is on Feb 12th- to celebrate the Eternal Yogi we are.

Divine One,

Every once a year, a single most important vortex of time unfolds for humanity. Based on the moon calendar, every lunar cycle holds one day the most sacred. Likewise, once a year, the most sacred day of the year unfolds as Mahasivrathri. This year, 2010, the period begins on the coming Full Moon of Jan 30th and each day, the journey cumulates until Feb 12th, Mahasivrathri.

The objective of doing yoga is found in Mahasivrathri as observance, experience and its celebration. The celebration of MahaSivrathri is the state of higher consciousness- Turiya. The turiya state is achieving the state of sleepless sleep above the mind's rooftop to be the Spirit experience human reality- and Mahasivrathri is celebrating the Spirit by being Lord Siva ourselves. Lord Siva's empowered name is the Yogi.

The Full Moon of Jan 30th is potent as it holds the time dimension when transformation from body to light has been accomplished by our Siddhar Gurus. We utilize this moment to take our 'plunge'.

Preparing for Mahasivrathri in a yogic manner:

- Mark Jan 30th, the Full Moon preceding Mahasivrathri as the day to start observing Mahasivrathri. Meditate with the intent and prayer to be guided through this inner journey to be Self.

- Our journey from Jan 30th until Feb 12th of Mahasivrathri is to be the experience of Spirit. We turn our mind inward and gradually shift our consciousness from the body into the soul. As the moon wanes and dissolves, we dissolve our ego states of 'me', 'mine' and 'i' into the higher consciousness of oneness of that of Lord Siva.

- It is our inner journey of meditation, puja, fasting and silence. We take this moment of time to rejuvenate. We reduce our daily intake to fruits, nuts and juice diet.  Slowly, we reduce food, sleep and all external activities. It is important to be kind and gentle (ahimsa) to our body & mind, i.e, not be hungry when we fast and not force ourselves. We follow a natural rhythm to being the Spirit as body consciousness and the mind gently dissolves.

- Due to the lunar cycle of this period, it is normal for humanity to experience turbulence and upheavals just before Mahasivrathri. The mind readily plunges within when ever there is hardship in our external realities. After Mahasivrathri  is observed and complete, it is normal to witness a huge blessing or blessings in our external reality and a calm that prepares us for life ahead, much like a rebirth.

- Light a lamp at least once a day and meditate, chant and pray. If this is not possible, still the mind and visualize the lamp within and experience Source as the joys within the stillness of a mind without thoughts. The stillness of mind is Lord Siva, the experience of being the Self, the soul.

- Pilgrimages to sacred places, meeting divine beings and especially, being in the company of spirit friends helps during this period to keep the mind inward and awake in bhakti.

- Do dharma. The empowering form of dharma is to feed the hungry while we are fasting and in satisfying others hunger, we are divinely fed with the subtle energy of Source. Dharma done during this sacred period magnifies. Dharma done in random kindness going beyond our own suffering and discomfort enables connect to Oneness energy that is the essence of Source.

- Climb within each day and go further beyond the mind into the vibrant light within! Lift our consciousness from the muladhara chakra (root chakra) above to the Guru chakra (above the navel). We transcend the body consciousness of heat and cold, hunger etc through the shift in our consciousness.

- Climb above to the third eye and watch the vibrant light of the mantra dance. In bringing this light in the third eye to stillness, the mind transcends to the mindless realm of joy that Sages call, the sleepless sleep, turiya.

- On the day/night of Mahasivrathri, be the pillar of light, Lord Siva. Awaken to be Lord Siva- with your mind bathing in the Light that holds the grace of higher consciousness.

May humanity arise in the awake consciousness of wisdom that enables each of us to be the prophets and masters of higher consciousness!

Awakening Shrine: Aadi Tirupati, Nambi Hills

Located on the sacred Podigai Hills of South India, Aadi Tirupati is a Siddhar shrine- enroute through a forest (accessible today by jeep) . This temple is said to pre-date Tirupati of Tirumala and is called Aadi Tirupati. This shrine is also a Samadhi (conscious burial/tomb) to three Siddhar Sages.

This recording was made on Oct 2009. We realized that humanity needs the sacred darshan of Lord Vishnu, who dwells here. We ignored the human made rules that forbids photography. We record the inner most sacred sanctum sanctorum as the Divine was celebrated with the aarathy, the fire that acknowledges the light within ourselves.

Receive the blessings of the Divine who was worshiped for thousands of years by enlightened beings who had walked through the depth of the forest (this forest still has a few tigers) to receive grace of Oneness.

Siddhar Baba Nataraj-

Baba has been in tapas for over 45 years. He is a Siddhar master. His mastery is apparent through his egoless nature of utter humility and overflowing love and childlike joys. Wild animals, from squirrels to birds literally walk on his hands with no fear. Baba teaches ahimsa- non-harming and nonviolence; self-mastery and the essence of the mystical Siddhar tradition.

Video 1: Higher Consciousness Awakens with Divine Feminine

Siddhar wisdom is empowering as it is blessings and energy from the depth of silence and ancient intent. Siddhar Sage Tapasyogi Baba Nataraj speaks, in one of his rare interviews, on waking up to know consciousness as awareness to the Divine Feminine.

Baba explains of how consciousness shifts to that of love and compassion with the Divine Feminine. The ignorance of the Divine Feminine has caused far too much bloodshed in the name of religion. The wisdom to acknowledge the Shakti element in worship transforms our collective consciousness.

Video 2: Wisdom of a Yogi

Siddhar Sage Tapasyogi Baba Nataraj speaks, of simple wisdom towards higher consciousness, God and being simply a good person.

Baba mentions of the prime nature of a conscious person, a person who is awake- to be non-violent. Simply being a good person, tolerant of other paths and being a yogi leads us to the higher conscious experience.
