SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM
HDH BHAGAVAN

HDH has made science of power manifestation, yoga and temple based universities for
humanity.

If you are here, it means Existence wants you to be here in this form. You are not an
accident, you are an incident. You are a conscious miracle of Existence. Don’t think this
is positive thinking. This is the straightforward and simple Truth. If you trust this Truth,
you will start experiencing life in its pinnacle.
Understand, Existence is trying to express itself through you. What you call your
potential is nothing but the expression of Existence through you. When you freely allow
this, you will start realizing your infinite potential.
When you start becoming the fulfillment of Existence, you become flowing energy,
which is what I call Living Enlightenment. Living Enlightenment is living with the flowing
energy of Existence, in synchronicity with its miraculous happenings.When you live this
way, you will find there is no personal barrier, no emotional baggage, nothing that
holds you back in life. Life flows continuously like a river, carrying bliss and fulfillment
every moment.
In this book, you will find deeper truths and powerful techniques to tide over personal
barriers and resolve emotional conflicts. You will also find truths that demystify your
relevance in this vast cosmos, so you start moving in a higher plane of consciousness.
This book is for anyone who wishes to live a fulfilling life. It reveals the secrets of the
self, Existence and the world. It is for every individual to start experiencing the ultimate
purpose of taking human birth on planet earth. It is meant to give the experience of:
Shakti, the Energy to understand and change whatever you need to change in life
Buddhi, the Intelligence to understand and accept whatever you don’t need to change
in life
Yukti, the Clarity to understand and realize that however much you change, whatever
you see as reality is itself a continuously changing dream.
VISHUDDHI
CHAKRA
Emotion:
Comparison and Jealousy
Chakra:
VISHUDDHI CHAKRA
Location:
Throat region
In Sanskrit, Vishuddhi means 'beyond purity and impurity'. The name therefore means that
this chakra can never get impure and hence never needs to be cleansed. That is why
comparison, which locks this chakra, is like a shadow without an object. There is no basis for
the concept of comparison. It is purely a figment of our imagination.
This chakra is locked by comparison and jealousy and it can be made to flower when we
exhibit our individuality without worrying about others, and express fully our capacity,
uniqueness and creativity.
Goal:
To make the children understand comparison and jealousy.
Comparison and jealousy are both actually non-existent! We create them ourselves and
talk endlessly on how to overcome them. Comparison is like a shadow without an
object. There is no basis for the concept of comparison. It is purely a figment of our
imagination.
We are so busy comparing all the time that we never see things as they are! Our mind
is so caught up in comparison that it misses what actually is. If we drop the comparing
attitude, we will be able to see things as they are.

Comparison does not have a positive existence. It exists only in our minds. It happens only

When you are able to look at everything, what you have and what others have and feel

the negative existence of comparison and jealousy. It will flower when you feel a deep
gratitude for whatever is being showered on you every minute. It cannot be imposed
from outside.
You may never have felt the need for a refrigerator in your house, but if your neighbor
buys a refrigerator, immediately you will feel that you cannot do without it!
Immediately you will find all the reasons in the world why you need a refrigerator. All
these days you were managing without a refrigerator! Nothing has changed, but what

Existence is always showering upon us. There is such abundance! But we are so well trained in
the discipline of discontentment that we have become insensitive to what we receive. We
always want more.
We all function around these three axes: doing, having and being. Doing for having, without
enjoying being, is the sole cause of all our miser r, Doing never catches up with having. Every
time we work hard and fulfill one desire, there are more desires to make us run.
Never think, 'let me work now, I can enjoy later.' Don't think you can come back later and
enjoy!
Every tomorrow comes in the form of today. Doing should lead to being in every moment,
only then you are on the right track.
Don't postpone living. Celebrate! Enjoy Life, it is now or never. We all run throughout our lives
thinking we can enjoy later but we end up finally running into the graveyard. When you get on
the running track you loose your real capacity to enjoy. You forgot how to enjoy.

is the truth even when you are on this planet.
Each individual is unique. Can you compare a lion and a horse? Do we ever compare ourselves
to flowers or birds or mountains? We simply enjoy their beauty. In the same way, why can't we
see and enjoy other human beings also?
