Shri Yogeshwarji

(15 August 1921 - 18 March 1984)

 

Shri Yogeshwarji

At Tihri

 

Testing times awaited Champakbhai as they returned to Devprayag. Rationing inspector queried Champakbhai but with Yogeshwarji's company, inspector's suspicion subsided. Forwarned with this incident, Champakbhai left Devprayag and stayed at Dehradun. 

 At DevPrayag, Yogeshwarji observed fast for Lord Krishna's darshan but seven days later ended them on an extraordinary experience. 

He heard that saints and sages of higher state resides at Uttarkashi, so he decided at once to go there. The path to Tihri from DevPrayag was not developed in those days and some pilgrims were using the land route. Yogeshwarji decided to take the land route and one morning, started his journey. It was almost dark and he had no idea where to stay. There was no village visible nearby nor any people to whom he can ask. In such testing moments, some unknown people appeared and invited him for food & stopover at their place. Yogeshwarji accepted their invitation. Next morning he proceeded further on his way to Tihri. After a while a locale met him on the way and informed that there is no population for miles, leave alone the village where he stayed! 

 At Tihri, Yogeshwarji visited Swami Ramtirth's place. Yogeshwarji also met Vedbandhu, who was an expert of Khechari Mudra. A bond of affection developed between them as they shared their experiences. Vedbandhu agreed and helped Yogeshwarji in performing Khechari Mudra. During his stay at Tihri, Yogeshwarji also had an experience of kundalini. It appears that God was making all the arrangement at the right time for the fulfillment of his spiritual wishes.

 Yogeshwarji returned to Bhagwan Ashram Rishikesh. His stay at Bhagwan Ashram become memorable in another way. One night while doing japa, Yogeshwarji had a darshan of an unknown siddha with an open eye. The siddha entered in his closed room and appeared in the air without any support of ground.  More vivid, strange and breathtaking experiences soon followed his way.

 

From Shri Yogeshwarji's autobiography

 

"I started my sadhana for the darshan of Lord Krishna. I made up my mind of not leaving the seat and going out of the room till I succeeded. I had stopped lying straight at night during those days. I kept a lamp throughout the night nearby the photo of Lord Krishna and continued my japa and prayer. Seven days passed without any darshan. I made up my mind to get up early next morning and to go to the confluence of the river and give up my life, but God's wish was different. In the evening I had an experience. I felt that I am liberated, I am void of Maya. I have neither grief nor bewitchment nor any kind of bondages; I am omnipresent, the supreme being. With this, I finished my fast."

-------

"Siddhas have wonderful and extraordinary powers. They do not need any entrance like doors and windows for themselves. They have complete control over the elements of nature. They can move anywhere according to their will power. The only appear before the person that they wish even though there might be many more person in that place. They only talk with the person of their choice and others do not have even slightest knowledge of it."

-------

On kundalini experience: "I lost my body awareness. I saw nothing but light, as if thousands of lamps were lit together. Inside my spinal cord, I could see subtle power rising above. It rose to reach my heart and throat and touched the middle of my eyebrow. When it rose further, my mind experienced joy and wonder with a slight fear. My heartbeat began to subside. I lost the subtle awareness of every kind as if my mind had died. I did not know how long that experience lasted, but in the morning when my eyes opened, there was radiance and joy on my face."
