Anirudh Dattari, India
For the past few years, I have been on the spiritual path and have done a variety of practices, including chanting, reading, and silent meditations. After the initial purging of memories and emotions of this lifetime – I had reached a place where I could feel the energies inside me – be it that of resistance, ego, resentment, frustration and so on.
Having been on the wisdom path (gyana marg) – I used to perform self-inquiry when inevitably a resistance arose to something, and it used to bring me peace afterwards. I attributed the dense energies inside me to my ego – thinking it was my egoic reactions spoiling the peaceful state obtained through chanting and meditation.
Little did I know that there is more to spirituality than what meets the eye. Sages have classified the human constitution as composed of many sheaths or layers, including the physical sheath, the sheath of the mind, the causal layer and the soul. While spiritual practices done by a person can help the first couple of sheaths, a Master’s help is inevitably needed to reduce the obstacles of the aspirant in the causal layer. Besides this, an aspirant can work on the obstacles in the present lifetime, which is in his current level of awareness; while a Master can look into many lifetimes prior and see where the obstacles are rising from.
All this information I bought up was to highlight my own recent experiences. In my meditations, whenever I used to go deeper into my feelings, I used to feel as if there was a boulder in my head region. And sometimes, I used to feel there was something within me – almost like a dragon or a dinosaur that reacts very strongly when touched or triggered. In my ignorance, I used to attribute the former to my stored impressions and the latter to my ‘strong ego’ or feeling of ‘I’. There was also a feeling of blockage in my heart chakra – I used to assume that this was also the rising point of my egoic identity.
One day recently, when I was practicing Kriya, I felt there was something inside me that had a strong sense of self-preservation. When I used to try to feel its presence, I felt there was something that wanted to survive very badly. This ‘some-thing’ would react violently when I ‘touched’ it inside or brought my awareness to it. Whenever a feeling of bliss aroused in my crown chakra in the Kriya practice, this entity would immediately jump from my heart region and latch on to the energy pouring through my crown and suck it as much as it could.
Sensing there was something in me more than what I could handle, one day, I opened up Mohanji’s photo on my laptop and prayed sincerely to him to take out whatever was there that was blocking my progress. I felt I needed a Mai-Tri session, and I reached out to a person from the Mohanji family with whom I am frequently in touch. She suggested I get an individual Mai-Tri done and also suggested a practitioner. I contacted the practitioner and set up a session. I made a strong intention to let go of all things that were blocking my way to liberation but surrendered the result to Mohanji.
During the Mai-Tri session, the practitioner described seeing Mohanji removing a huge boulder in my head region. She also expressed that ice was frozen at my heart chakra and that Mohanji removed that blockage. She actually felt her hands getting cold during the session. Another vision she described was that there was this giant lizard or dragon inside of me, which was giving me trouble, and there was a hippopotamus that was holding on to it and not letting it go. Mohanji moved both of them into the light.
There was also a feeling of being a victim that was in my consciousness that was removed. In another Mai-Tri session, she described having a vision of a group of dolphins swimming in the ocean. After the Mai-Tri sessions, there was a huge sense of relief because I had let go of heavy things that had been troubling me for years. There was also a continuous flow of energy to me to fill up the gaps in my energy body due to the removal of things that were blocking it.
The practitioner also suggested a few things that came as a message to her during the Mai-Tri session that would help me, including the following:
(i) Since a lot of karma from my past lives was related to animals, it would be beneficial for me to perform service towards animals, like donating food that was not sourced from violence or other essential items such as blankets to animal shelters.
(ii) Reading of the book ‘Sripada Srivallabha Satcharitra’ – an important book of the Datta Tradition, which is freely available online in English and some other Indian languages.
I donated to an animal shelter as suggested. And I did a reading of “Sripada Srivallabha Satcharitra”. I must mention I felt much peace reading the book due to a continuous flow of divine energy from it. It is no ordinary book – there are a lot of incidents, information and facts in the book that would help spiritual seekers of any orientation (karma, bhakti, gyana or raja yoga path).
In summary, I would like to say that the Mai-Tri Method is a beautiful process to remove things in your causal layer that may have been embedded for lifetimes. If you sense there is a blockage or something troubling you after you have ruled out things through human effort, please don’t assume it is your ego causing all this trouble. There may be something else that is not visible to the human eyes. Help is available. Reach out for an individual Mai-Tri session from a practitioner. The process will work as long you are receptive, and you are willing to let go of things you deem not fit in your journey towards freedom.
I would like to thank Mohanji for this help and the Mai-Tri practitioner for facilitating Mohanji’s work during the process. I would also like to thank the Mohanji family member who has been a beacon of support to many people and suggested that I get the Mai-Tri done with this practitioner.
