DOORWAYS TO LIGHT

 



DOORWAYS TO LIGHT

Guruji KRISHNANANDA

 

Original name of the book “The Unknown Life of Unseen Lights”

This book is about His Guru Amara and about the Rishis.

Rishis (Light Being), Pralaya (Transition) and Satya Yuga (Light Age).

 

GURUJI KRISHNANANDA  - (1939-2012)

Conversant with Puranas from childhood, he grew up with literature, painting and music. He met his Guru, Maharshi Amara, in 1977 and joined his work in 1981. He systematized the knowledge received from his Guru and developed it into Sapta Rishis Path. He channelled new Knowledge and enriched the Path.

He established Manasa Foundation (R) in 1988. He established the central Meditation Centre in Manasa in 1993 and a Study Centre in Antar-Manasa in 2006. He taught Meditation as taught by the Sapta Rishis to thousands of aspirants.

Manasa continues to disseminate the knowledge brought down by him and guide meditators based on his teachings.

This book is written by him and where the word I is there it refers to him. 


PART ONE

ONE

"Meditation is silencing. We silence the entire system body, mind and intellect - gradually, in silence, many processes begin. First, the system gets cleansed. When it is prepared to go through higher experiences which eventually transform us into higher Beings. We will be gradually linked to our Source and receive all knowledge about ourselves, this creation, birth, death etc., directly

It is beyond concentration. It is a journey to Consciousness as we advance.

Viswamitra Maharshi and Sapta Rishis - Bhrigu, Atri, Angirasa, Vasishta, Pulastya,  Pulaha and  Katru Maharshis

Amara was Ambarisha Varma Desai of the Kauj royal family. He was born in Bangalore in 1919 in the house where Sir C. V. Raman lived, later on. He lived in Bangalore and then in Madras for a degree. He did not work for his living at any time. He is rich. When the land reforms were introduced, they lost their lands and property.

Kalki (from Sambala, astral body born 1924 always at the age of 24)  will physically born and will marry Padmavathi.

Amara was a Spiritual Scientist. He had the developed special faculties like the Third eye, Astral travel, entry into other dimensions, communicating with the Light Beings in any corner of the Cosmos from here and several other faculties. He had also reached the highest  Spirituality. He had also realised God. He was a Manus God. He was not a mere psychic or a man yet, he lived like a normal human being in the sea of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Ramana or Aurobindo - laughed, joked, enjoyed cricket, drove a car, appear human, then Divine - he would always insist. He loved good literature, good films and classical music sensible and lead mature life. He was undoubtedly Being; a great Master.

This is the land of Rishis and Yoga. Many enlightened Masters have walked on this land of Aryabhatta and Patanjali. Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and many other Master lived and taught here. And yet, we who live in this land temples and Ashramas, would not have accepted Edga Cayce if he had taken birth here. If Pranic healing and Reik had not come from outside, we would have derided them but they are raging fashions now!

Imagine two pyramids, one standing on the other base of the inverted pyramid. The space in between the two pyramids is called the Material Cosmos, Brahmanda, it contains millions and millions of galax Brahma, this egg-shaped space is very huge, having a diameter eighteen billion light years.

Rishi is a person with enormous capacities to gather and hold Knowledge and Powers in the form of Light. A Rishi is a person who can also radiate the Light of Knowledge and Power. He is a Radiant being. The 1,44,000 channels are not ordinary people. They are also Rishis. They always live like ordinary people and do not attract publicity because their work gets disturbed. The work has grown from merely channelling information to very complex processes of guiding and helping humanity in their own administration, scientific and technological progress, Spiritual evolution etc. Many times, they have to go to other earths in other galaxies to learn new things, bring new knowledge and gather new energies. They will have more work in the Astral plane. All this is monitored and supervised by a special Rishi whose capacities are beyond our imagination. All the 1,44,000 channels will report to this Rishi in the Himalayas at midnight, going there astrally. They take instructions from him, attend to the work, again report back to him around sunrise and then return back to their bodies.

THREE

Do not come for solutions of problems. Come for Spiritual awakening. The meditation takes you to higher planes so that your problems seem to be irrelevant.

Mantras can make you to travel from physical body to Astral and can put back. If not properly learnt from Guru – Mantras may choke you permanently in the Astral body and may not return back to physical body.

"It is difficult to imagine the state of the mind immediately after death. I have seen this in many people that I have met like this. First, it takes time to realise the irreversibility of death. Then, it takes time to accept with death, all the relations with people, properties and place are severed. Then, they move away from the place, though reluctantly. In cases of natural death, a guide from the higher planes comes along with the death rays. He will stay with the dead person for some days after the death, to educate him. Then, he will take him to a particular Loka where the dead person rests sufficiently. After the rest, the dead person will undergo a check-up where his Karmas are measured. Then, people in charge of these operations will decide about his next birth. The earth, not necessarily this, where he will take birth, the place, the family, the life-time etc., will also be decided there. Again, a guide escorts the person to the place of his next birth, right up to the womb.”

Those committed suicide or dead due to accidents will not realize their death and they still roam in this Loka and they are the  ghosts.

The earth has gone through 28 cycles of these 4 yugas till now. The Satya Yuga started from 14th March 1974. It takes 432 years for transition from Kali yuga to Satya Yuga since 14th March 1974. The increased awareness of Yoga and Meditation is a symptom of it.

It is not materialisation. It is transportation. Rishi will gather the objects first and store them at his place. He has an Astral being, a spirit perhaps, to help. Whenever he wants to demonstrate the materialisation, he mentally closed Astral hand cannot be seen. Then the swami catches bring it within seconds from any distance. The object in the requests the Astral entity to fetch the object. The entity can create it and produces it, as if from nowhere!

Nirantari Chakra is the chakra between Agna and Sahasraaram. It will and can sustain age at single point.

"Duryodhana was born. Rishis, with their special faculties they could foresee the Mahabharata war. The Sapta Rishte instructed them to stop the experiments and prepare students for the war. Then, you were taught warfare, you fought in the war and died. Then, you were entitled to rest in a special earth for 5000 years. Vishwamitra Maharashi called for volunteers to work during the Transitory period from Kali Yuga to Satya Yuga. You volunteered. He took you to a special earth and trained you for 5000 years. That why all these practices are bringing very fast results in you This is only like a revision."

Amara met Kripacharya who is aged 1000s of years.

Do not worry for the experiences in Meditation. Attaining silence is more important than the experiences. Meditation by individuals is for self-goals, benefits  and Tapas by Rishis is for everyone’s benefit.

Once during a gathering in the evening, Amara spoke

"The four Yuga cycle, which is roughly 51,000 years, called a Mahayuga. Seventy-one Mahayugas make  Manvantara. At the end of every Manvantara, there will be a total Pralaya. All life on earth will be destroyed. After millions of years, life again evolves from Amoeba. This happening from nearly two billion years, since the formation of this earth. So far, six Manvantaras have passed by. That means, six times life here got totally extinguished and began again."

"At the end of the last Manvantara, the whole earth was covered with water and only one person survived the Pralaya! It was Markandeya Maharshi, blessed with eternal life by a boon from Lord Shiva. He stayed on the top of mountain, in a cave and sat in Tapas. For more than the Thousand years, he did Tapas and then woke up to see. Then, he had a vision of a blue baby floating wombed, it was Mahavishnu and prayed. When the island came one called it Shyama-Bala, meaning blue baby. This island is a sacred place. Then life Seam rolled on, continents rose and civilisations The Risihis gathered only the pure and the enlightened Rishis had taken birth here. As time passed, the word became Shambala."

“We are in the seventh Manvantara now and twenty-eight Mahayugas have passed by. That means, Shambala is twenty-eight Mahayugas old! The Rishis have kept this place untouched by the influence of time; untouched by the influence of Yugas of diluted or no values like the Kali Yuga. Over this is long unbroken period of time, a civilisation of the highest order has flourished here. Science of the highest order has evolved. Men living here have been using spaceships from thousands of years! Men live for eternity. They do no not age or die here. We cannot even imagine the advancement of life here."

Shamambala is somewhere in the Gobi Desert. Many people aware of its existence but are unable to reach it because the Rishis have sealed this off from the outside world. But a person in the highest Spiritual condition can reach the Shambala with the permission of the Rishis. The Rishis  guide him to reach Shambala. It will be a one-way journey into Shambala. Many have gone there. I know someone of the contemporary Masters. I do not mention the names because it may create an unnecessary controversy or confusion.

"Shambala is ruled by a king called Maitreya. This is not the Maitreya that some people say is coming to earth as the Saviour: He is not Budha. He is a special soul from Soorya Loka. People here are busy with different occupations chosen by them. Further research in all branches of science, including the Spiritual science, goes on incessantly. A huge golden lotus is mounted on a palatial building. There is a huge ruby in it. A very great power is placed here. The vibrations from this fill up the  entire Shambala keeping it Divine. People from outside also draw energies from this by chanting the Mantra "Om Mani Padme Hum". This Mantra is known to many in Tibet”

"The knowledge gathered in Shamballa is meant for all. Shambalites do not intend keeping all the accomplishments only to themselves. But they also cannot pass on the knowledge to the outside world because of our degenerated Spiritual condition. We are not fit enough to receive the higher knowledge. And the people in Shambala are waiting for us to awaken and grow."

"I have astrally visited Shambala many times. I have met the people there. I have more information on Shambala. But I think this is enough, for now. I have not spoken about Shambala without any purpose. Now that we are entering into Satya Yuga, the time for Shambala to open up for us has come. As we advance into Satya Yuga, not only Shambala opens up but conditions outside Shambala will also become like that of Shambala gradually. Shambala spreads out and, maybe, after four hundred years, the whole earth will be like Shambala. We being under the Sapta Rishis, have to work for it. First, we have to spiritually grow enough to receive Shambala individually and then spread it."

Amara was Eknath in previous births and was a disciple of Sant Gnaneshwar.

Rishis go into Tapas for 1000s of years by telling the Himalayan Rishis – how long they do Tapas. These Himalayan Rishis protect them and also wake them up after that period like an Alarm. Amara once did the awakening job of a Rishi in North Karnataka at a small hill-top temple, where a Rishi was doing Tapas for 5000 years. After he woke up from Tapas, the 7 Feet high Rishi wanted to walk to Kasi and it was a surprise for him that the Kings gone and some new terminology (Democracy) came for ruling.

"That is why we do so much of work in the Astral plane so that the welfare work brings results in the physical plane. No one knows how much our Rishis struggled to help us to get freedom from the British! It is a very long story. After we got the Independence, Vishwamitra Maharshi wanted to give this country a gift. He went to the highest plane and brought a great power. He wanted to give this to a strong person. A leader, whose only job was to just accept it on behalf of the country and preserve it. He met many leaders of that time astrally. But no one was ready to accept it. It was very strange. Each one had his own preoccupation! He sent word through me to the heroes of Mahabharata, who were in a special earth which was like heaven, to come down and accept the power on behalf of this country. Sadly, they also were reluctant to come immediately. The Rishi was disappointed. Then he hurled the power into the sky which exploded like a million bombs. I was near the explosion and my Astral body was affected by it. After I came back to the physical body, I felt a burning sensation all over. The doctors could not help. Then Vishwamitra Maharshi came and healed me. After that, he went away from this galaxy, Perhaps, to perform Tapas in a faraway galaxy. It was 1948. And now, he has returned!"

Guruji along with few others started handling Satsanghs as Amara suffered with heart attack while trying to move gadget from Himalaya. As he moved from meditating on chakras to Samadhi attainment – he started facing many problems losing friends, relations, financial problems etc.

Manovati is a place 25 KM north east direction from Bengaluru. It took 25 years for Amara to buy this land and another 25 years to develop. He did Tapas in this place for 24 days in this hill-lock area.

16th Feb 1980 – A solar eclipse day. Some 700 meditators joined and did a 4-hour long meditation which was conducted by Viswamitra and his chosen rishi Viswadeva. This is a special day happening after 51,000 years and all the attendees will get relieved and blessings from Pitru Gods. No need of offering Tarpanas specially. During Poornaahuti – a big fire ball erupted and controlled by Rishis. White circles in the sky were visible in many places of India. While someone took photos of that day – Amara was appeared as blank after the reel was developed.

Pralayam - We lose all in Time. But greater things will come again There will be new Vedas. There will be new continents, new mountains and rivers. Man will climb new heights in glory. There will be no wars, no diseases. There will be no violence. There will be great civilisations. Greater arts and greater literature. We cannot have any idea of the New Age now. It will be entirely different. It will truly be the Kingdom of God where each man shines in his innate Divine glory."

I wanted to meditate more. And grow. Like Amara

Amara was a modern Rishi in modern dress (trouser and shirt) and capable of giving answers for any question as he connects with Rishis all the time.

Amara once went to another earth by travelling across Galaxies and accompanied a Rishi (Dhanvantari) to Himalayas – Markandeya Maharshi. On his instruction both went to Italy to retrieve a lost gadget. He is none other Escalapeus – God of Medicine in Greece.

Each Rishi and persons like Amara are Light and Doorway

Kalki will come one day and punish Adharma people. He will address and advise through Radio and TV – if need He will plunge himself into action.

This is the beginning off Samadhi: the Savika Samadhi. Here, the awareness of two separate identities exists-that is, of yourself and of the surrounding world. you advance; the awareness transcends. You will become aware of your Divine essence and the Divinity surrounding you. Then, from mere awareness to actually experiencing and becoming the Divinity in you and also relating to the Divinity surrounding you at deeper levels, the Consciousness in us expands. This stage of Samadhi can be described as Dwaita. Dwaita means two. Adwaita means not-two; but one. Adwaita is the next stage. Here, the awareness of yourself and God vanishes and the awareness of the entire existence as one, remains. This is the state of Aham Brahmasmi, You are God. This is the state of Nirvikalpa Samadhi, where real Yonga occurs."

Rishis can bring the past memories and can view the future happenings.

The Future also has already happened.

18th May 1981: Amara opened formally Manovati Ashram in the presence of Sagarika Maharshi and handed over the responsibilities to Guruji.

Guruji did meditation in a circle at 6 PM for 7 minutes and took the blessings of Sapta Rishis.

Next Day morning Amara drew a Swastik over Om and drew 7 stars below – indicating that as the emblem of the institution.

Krishnanda started doing agriculture also on the advice of Amara

Learn to co-exist with animals, poisonous reptiles while living in the Jungles, bushes , remote areas.

Are we animals/ birds in previous birth?

No. We are from Parabrahma Laiks. We are always born as humans. The souls in the bodies of plants, trees, birds and animals are all created at a flower Divine plane. After death, they go back to their plane and that is their Mukti. They are not bound by Spiritual laws like the laws of Karma, as we are bound. They are bound by a different set of laws.  In fifty-one thousand years, they are allowed to take birth, once, as human beings and experience life. These people live amongst us. If you carefully observe, perhaps, you can make out. If you meet them astrally, you can easily make out."

If we seek and pray God  - He will surely help us.

Ego should not dominate.

Everything expanded – My Life, My Goal, My Dreams, My Visions, My Horizons, My Skies

SEVEN

Dream in day light and bathe in moon light.

Mahavatara is another incarnation who along with Kalki will restore the spiritual balance.

Amara is Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in previous birth.

Amara was in 18 bodies and helped the Redcross during the 2nd world war.

Amara expects 144 meditators as there are 144000 channels. At least 7 and if not at least one.

Amara says he will born in 2042 again

There was a nuclear war supposed to happen on 10th June 1982 – but averted by Rishis. They did Yagnas and could only postpone, but they are still working to cancel the war itself – but for that the humane also have to awaken up with the spiritual values.

Amara has experienced God – who is with multiple galaxies. But did not go to the core of God – as that means while he returns from the core – it will be millions of years lapse by that time.

Amara’s health detreated. Lord Krisna came and removed his painful Karmas. Thus, he was healthy and said he will live for another 17 years.

But he passed away on 25th August 1982 


PART TWO

ONE

Amara continues to live in Guruji’s life

TWO

1982-85

Guruji took the position of Amara and managing Manovati.

One day Amara’s astral body appeared and removed the tiredness of Guruji while he was lying on the bed.

On Sunday’s meditation sessions started and 100s used to attend. The Food arrangements were done by Guruji and it is hurting his purse. But still managing.

Even the nearby villagers used to come for some medical aid and he used to cure through Amara’s blessings

Newsletter “Manovati Patra” being published by him.

In 1984 August after Janmashtmi – Sri Krishna took Guruji to an unknown place and showed Arjuna who was doing Tapas and also to a palace where Lord lives.

Some rumours about him spread and carried to Mrs Amara. Many sadhakas complained and Guruji room’s door was locked and was not allowed to enter into Manovati

THREE

1985-1987

While Guruji was reconciling – Amara came and boosted his confidence. Within 2 weeks a villager provided a land within 1 km of Maovati.

He suffered with sever financial crunch, not able to buy a bus ticket from Bengaluru to Manovati.

He was literally lost the confidence of the family and he moved out of it

For a year he lived in the Siva temple in the village and fed by villagers for his breakfast, lunch and dinner. He also did not object to them.

He lived in a hut, then moved into a mud house, far away in the outskirts of the village in between Cobra and ghosts.

These were the years of the testing ones for him of his entire life. Rishis were subjecting him to such tests. He made plans for the Meditation center. Finally, he decided to take Meditation classes.

FOUR

1988-1993

Taking up Meditation classes will sound as a separate group from Amara’s Manovati and may anger Mrs Amara. But he waited for permission from Rishis and Amara, Started Meditation classes in May 1988 at Bengaluru.

Prior to this on 1st February (birthday of Amara) 1988 – he started Manasa Spiritual foundation and started publishing “Manasa Patra”.

The meditation classes he took spanned over a decade. He has developed new techniques with the help of the Rishis and Amara. Even the students noticed that there was light coming from the charts he was displaying. Many of the Sadhakas got samadhi stage very quickly and few not and left the group also. But by answering to the Sadakas Guruji learned more than the students themselves.

There were many incidents of proofs that Rishis exist. Guruji has demonstrated these. Few examples – removing stomach pain of a patient, sending away spirit from a house, bringing heavy downpour only in that village area, riding a scooter for 10 Kms without petrol, seeing astral snakes etc.

Since he felt to return the land to the villager – he has purchased a small land near Chikka Gubbi and wanted to start living there. Till that time, he was living in Bengaluru. One day with permission of Amara he started wearing Saffron robes which was his dream. But that created lot of inconvenience to him as people started staring at him, he could not live like a common man  eating in the streets, people started keeping distance. Then again with permission from Amara he reverted back to normal cloths. Amara taught him that safforonism should be inside the body and not for exhibition.

The Chikkagubbi which is within 1 km radius of Manovati – named as Taponagara. Guruji in between slipped out of his meditation and then reconciled with the help of Amara and finally he moved to Taponagara in 1993.

FIVE

1993-1995

Taponagara is a small village near by Bengaluru. Amara says that this was the place where Rishis did meditation in previous yugas. In the coming centuries Earth will tilt 2 degrees, ice melts, Himalayas will be submerged under the sea melted and North India becomes a sea. The rivers Ganga, Yamuna and Saraswati shift to south India and this Tapo Nagara becomes Triveni Sangama.

University of Spiritual sciences would come up in The Rishis would take birth and gather here. Kripacharya would shift his Gurukula to this place in the part of the twenty-first century. Lord Kalki would visit Taponagara physically, after completing His work, before settling down in the Himalayas, in a place already chosen and prepared by the Rishis.

Amara had revealed much more about Taponagara which is not just the place that we are living in now or only the small township that is coming up here, but an area of about one and a half kilometres' radius encircling our place, which includes Manovati and three villages.

We have built up a very strong Spiritual field here now, working from 1993, which is like a huge globe. The Rishis have named this as the Manasi field. They have brought a deity to preside over this field and have named her, Manasi Devi. Energies from different planes have been gathered here by our Rishis and the special Rishis who periodically come from other Lokas. And the energies from Shambala have been brought here to build up conditions for establishing another Shambala.

Taponagara will be the land of Tapas and a guiding Light for the new Yuga.

One day in meditation class Tara Devi from Shambala appeared.

Started meditation classes from Taponagara from January 1994. It became as a main meditation center after Himalayan center. Many astral Rishis used to visit to here first before moving to Himalayas.

On 24th November 1993 – Viswamitra Maharshi assured Guruji that he will visit Taponagara on Christmas Day. Amara received him on that day and Vishwamitra assured that he will bring 18 rishis for conducting Yagna and homa, enabled the same and said that he will take care of Taponagara.

Ganga a lady teacher has amazing psychic capabilities. She could see many astral bodies and could relate that Guruji is in astral form is a rishi by name Alok.

One miracle of the so many - Guruji once made a contact of a soul of a dead mother with her son.

On 16th January 1994 Mahavatara entered to meditation room and blessed each one with light.

In 1993 Christmas day Christ descended to Tapo Nagara, took human form and preached the meditators.

Manovati devi (astral form) started guiding and helping Guruji – even Mrs Amara invited him to associate again with Manovati. But he declined as Amara suggested.

On 1st Feb 1994 (Amara’s birthday) Kalki visited as a guest and Rishis provided him with special energies and offered special gadgets. Guruji was fixed with some gadget in his Causal body (not astral one as it may get damaged), which can be touched only by Rishis. He was asked to report daily to Kalki. Whatever work he does in the astral form – gets erased once he returns back to physical form. If any residual memories are there he is not supposed to recollect or record.

March 1994 Rishis conducted experiments on Ganga with Kundalini. It led to her bliss along with pain and inability to withstand the expansion. So, they stopped the experiments and they put the Kundalini power under the ground.

9th September 1994 – Sapta Rishis along with other rishis attended function. At the end of it – they bestowed upon Guruji powers to help for the welfare of others. He is supposed to not use these powers for personal gains.

30th November 1994 – Lord Krishna appeared and told him that he has only 3 more years to survive.

SIX

1995-1997

Egos started piling up in the students and the advancement of Taponagara slowed down. On 18th December 1997 – Ganga walked out of Taponagara. Her gadgets were removed and contact has been disabled with Rishis.

A student who was unable to attain levels in Meditation – was found to be suffering from the displeasure of a Guru in previous life. Rishis helped her to get relieve from that by contacting the astral form of Guru.

A small girl was allowed to die by the Rishis by contacting the authorities of birth and death, as she was suffering with a disease and pain.

A young man was suffering with severe headache as he killed a snake with pain. The Rishis spoke to astral snake and granted it Mukti so that it will relieve the man of the headache.

A person had a premature death and he became ghost and killing the members of the family. As Rishis persuaded, he reluctantly agreed to move away and join Sapta Rishis.

A group by name Light Channels formed and drew energy from Cosmos and transferred to Taponagara. Soulantra carried energy from Kashmir in to a Golden disk under the ground.

On 25th August 1997 – ashes were brought and kept in the Samadhi, Tapongara  from Manovati where Amara was cremated. People got answers and solutions from the samadhi.

27th August 1997 – Bhishma visited Taponagara and blessed.

An astral snake used to protect many including Guruji from the dark people.

In early 1997 he had chest pain. In August 1997 Rishis told him that he will live up to 12th November of that year. But later they said that his life was extended.

On 24th December he had lot of heart pain and had to go to Hospital. On 27th December  the doctor noticed no block and declared him healthy.

24th December had worshipped Christ in the meditation and on 25th December – Viswamitra visited.

SEVEN

Most of us remain content with the Spiritual knowledge that we inherit from the elders. Only a few venture into the unknown to find answers for several questions about life and the truths behind it. If we do not try to find the answers, we die without knowing the basic realities.

More knowledge brings more sense. We will be able to deal with life in a sensible way; in the proper way. We live peace and happiness. All knowledge helps this life; the present life: the immediate life that we are facing now. Without peace now, there will be no Moksha in the life after.

We must know about certain truths.

There was a life before this. There will be a life after this. We do not die with the physical body. We survive in our Astral bodies.

There are other planes; other dimensions. There are people living there like us; not the little green men of the science fiction. They are much more intelligent; much more civilised and much more advanced in all sciences. They are also very good, kind and loving. They can help us a lot in this and the next lives.

The Rishis are not just the characters in Puranas. They do exist. Some are here on this earth and many are in the higher planes. They are a part of a huge network of Light Beings who work under the Cosmic Intelligence. They can be contacted by anyone astrally and receive guidance and help.

Meditation is the first basic step in expanding our awareness. All other ways prepare us to take up Meditation which is the highest way. All Meditations lead to the experience of Samadhi. From this stage, all meditational ways merge into one way - the way of Samadhi. In Samadhi we expand our awareness to its cosmic limits. We experience God. This experience brings us the supreme knowledge. It brings us Peace of the highest order. It brings us wisdom and enormous strength to live in the light of the Truth. All negativities in us give way to positivises. Life becomes a very beautiful experience.

Work in Taponagara is to assist people in bringing out their Divine essence to the fore; to help people positivise their life and to guide them to the ultimate freedom, Mukti, after living a blissful life here.

In times of confusion, clear Spiritual guidance is available here.

This is a place for Tapas. One can find Light here easily. The Rishis, the Master Guides, guide anyone to Light. They are our Doorways to Light.

Manasa and Manovati

While Manovati and Manasa Foundation are distinct entities, they are spiritually interconnected through the legacy of Maharshi Amara and his disciple Guruji Krishnananda. Both are located in the Chikkagubbi area on the outskirts of Bengaluru but serve different spiritual purposes. 

1. Primary Purpose and Accessibility

  • Manasa Foundation (Manasa Light Age Foundation): A non-profit, non-religious charitable trust founded in 1988 as a teaching and public meditation center. It is the public face of the "Light Age" movement, offering meditation classes, workshops, and books to anyone interested in spiritual growth.
  • Manovati: Known as the "Abode of the Rishis," this is considered a highly sacred, consecrated space used for intense spiritual work and anchoring energies. Unlike Manasa Foundation, Manovati is not a tourist or public destination; it is restricted to those with express permission from the "Rishis" (spiritual masters) and focuses on maintaining a silent, high-vibrational environment for meditation. 

2. Core Activities

  • Manasa Foundation:
    • Public Meditation: Teaches techniques such as "Light Channelling" to reduce stress and spread peace.
