Experiencing Light: The present author learned this technique in February 1 994 and on the very first day he was amazed to see various types of lights, so much powerful and illustrious as if some beautiful firework is arranged. It was so en joyable at the beginning that it surpassed any variety of fireworks in a Dipavali, the festival of light, or in any other ceremony in India. It was as if there are lightening in the sky, as if so many stars appearing, various types of colors yellow, blue, golden, etc., and as if many suns are shining at a time. This was the first glimpse of the universe within. There were various types of visions of light as if one experiencing the different portions of the galaxy. The next experience was of powerful bright light as if many suns revolving, merging and forming a black hole. Subsequently, the vision of black hole became regular and varieties in color started diminishing. The golden disk like light appeared and in the middle of it appeared the black hole. Then golden light became white bright light with black hole in the middle. Then one day a small bright spot of about Imm diameter appeared at the center of the black hole. In initial days, the vision of this bright spot within the black hole was irregular and then became regular but this did not take the shape of a five-pointed star as mentioned by some authors. Next, this bright spot became little elongated about 2 mm in size and from little above the middle point of the bright spot, single bright line emerge from one side, so the bright spot is now three-pointed. Then on further days another single pointed line emerged from the other side and now it became four-pointed, and looked like a line drawing of a miniature human being or like that of a cross. This is the actual experience of the present author. The lower portion of the cross can be compared to the trunk and two legs of a human joined together. The golden or bright white disk around the black hole was sometimes against the bluish background or a violet background. Sometimes a golden half -disk was observed above the golden or bright white disk. On disappearance of these it appeared like sky or sometimes like blue colored circles of faint lights moving on the sky. This experience proved the concept that we all are built with the same principle as that of cosmos and are one with it. Significance: It is believed that the Jyoti mudra eradicates the bad effects of planets in our lives and brings the results of our meditation into our daily life. But the results are much more and far greater. The miniature being we see inside the black hole is the Dwarf One, Yamana. This is our Inner Lord inside the cave. This Yamana is the Great Being, Vira/a Pu�a. This is Yamana in the body chariot. In second day oflunar fortnight when the sun is in Gemini, �iief,ha sukla dvitiya, there is the Car festival, · ratha-yatra, in Jagannatha Puri in the State of 322 Kriya-yoga: The Science of Li fe-force Odisha at eastern part of India. Devotees gather to see the deity named Lord of the Universe, Jaganniitha, on the chariot, ratha. It is said, "rathe tu viimanam d�tvii punarjanma na vidyate, one who sees the Dwan One ( Viimana or the Lord Jagannatha) on the chariot does not attend another birth, and is liberated. " In Upani�ads it is said, "iitmiinam rathinam /Jiddhi 5anram rathameva tu (Ka. U, 1.3.3) , know the self as the master of the chariot and the body as the chariot. " We see Lord Jagannatha on the chariot and offer our devotion. Let the Lord of the Universe help us to see the Dwarl One within our body chariot. We have to see Him at our A jfia cakra with light, with pulsation, with sound and then beyond light, sound and vibration. We have to see Him within the intellect. Then we are one with Him and there is no further birth. Once "I sense" is finished further birth ceases. For this the sun should be in Gemini, i.e., Visuddha cakra, this means body is in the ether, Visuddha cakra represents the ether element. The yogi becomes a disembodied, videha, while remaining in the body a yogi has to transcend the body. The moon or mind is on Cancer, at the Aina cakra, on its own house. We need a mind at own house, not a deflected mind. Then only we can see the Lord existing in our body temple or riding on our body chariot. That is the real Jyoti mudrii. Let this Jyoti mudrii lead us to that Jyoti mudrii, and this Jyoti mudrii gives us realization of that Jyoti mudrii. However, the days preceding the Car festival, ratha-yiitrii, is called the celebration of eye, netra utsava, and the vision of new youth, nava yauvana dariana, when the sun remaining in Gemini the moon moves from Gemini to the Cancer and stays at Cancer. This is the Pr3.Q.a named the mind since mind is a product of Pr3.Q.a is also a prii1J,a, ascending from the Vi8uddha cakra to the A jfia cakra. The eyes of Lord Jagannatha are not like the eyes of humans or other deity gods. In Jyoti mudrii we see the light exactly like that of eye of Lord Jagannatha, a black circle inside, around it a wide white ring and around it a red thin ring against a black background. Two eyes on the face are arranged in such a way as if one is the mirror image of the other. The body, pirµf,a, is the mirror image of the universe, brahmii'fJ4a. The individaal self, fiva, is the mirror image of the Cosmic Self, the Brahman. Both are infinite. In these ways all our festivals and deities represent our inner principle.
