During breath infusion this morning, I got a message from Tibeti Yogi which said that he would not return since I was picking up on the kriyas which he showed me. These kriyas are methods of getting to hidden, hard-to–reach places in the subtle body, for removing dull dark energy which lingers in these parts of the form.
This is great for him since it means that he is relieved from having to remain on a certain level for the purpose of introducing others to these methods. As I practice these methods and see their effectiveness I would be able to teach these with confidence. The only thing is that a student has to reach a certain stage before he or she could make use of these procedures.
Before I finished the session which was from 4.30 am to 5.30 am, the guy who became known as Adi Da Samraj appeared. He wanted to go over some criticisms which he had about Swami Muktananda. His complaint is that initially when he met Muktananda the Swami advertised himself as a person who was chosen to give shaktipath darshan. Adi Da’s main contention was that the Swami did not teach the yoga austerities which the same Swami practiced some years ago but only displayed his shaktipat darshan trick.
Shaktipat darshan means that a yoga guru will transmit an infusion energy into the psyche of a disciple by glancing at the disciple. The word darshan is Sanskrit for glancing or viewing. Shaktipath is Sanskrit for transmission (path) of power (shakti).
Is this a valid complaint?
Adi Da is now blaming Swami Muktananda for Adi Da’s mistakes in creating a cult around himself where he began to do the same thing Muktananda did, which was to walk among the disciples (devotees) and glance at them to transmit infusion energies which was supposed to give them an instant enlightenment.
I neither supported nor contended the statements of Adi Da. The poor guy amassed some terrible karma by misleading people and telling them how he was an avatar and that by following him they would attain enlightenment. Now he has to face the misery of the whole thing. Some of his disciples are chasing him down in the astral world and harassing him as being a guru fraud.
Muktananda did not permit Adi Da to do this. Adi Da acted on his own and actually acted against the wishes of Muktananda who advised him not to do this. Muktananda performed the standard austerities of yoga in his youth and was submitted to Nityananda Dada, who was one of the greatest of the modern yogis in India. Muktananda acted as he was authorized but Adi Da did not seem to understand why Nityananda gave so much authority and infusion power to Muktananda.

Just before the exercise session was completed, I had a flash vision of Saif al Gaddafi, one of the sons of the unfortunate Muammar Gaddafi. This was a sight of him in prison in Libya. He was speaking to a guard secretly, trying to get a message to one of his wives and also to get a message about where he has some money stocked away in a foreign country. He told the guy that he wanted to get out of prison but that even if there could be a prison break, it was likely that he would be caught since we was a wanted man internationally. He said to the guard, “Even if I get out of here, Interpol, the CIA, the Brit intelligence, everybody will be looking for me. I would probably be shot to death. Maybe I should stay here. My main worry now is to get some money which I have outside of Libya to my family members. This whole show crashed terrible. Look what happened to the old man.”

Sometimes during yoga practice and meditation, one gets clairvoyant or clairaudient information. This is like when one has a short wave radio and one turns the knob and then one hears some information from a far away radio station.
