Deity Series-1: Mapping of Deity Lineage, Energy & Obligations
April 27, 2024
Houston, Texas
Introduction:
This is an attempt to map all the energy and lineage for my spiritual endeavor.
Each spiritual aspirant has their lineage and energy from the primordial deity from which the entity has entered this creation in a certain eon.
This mapping is complex but gave my best effort to elucidate the complex linkage and my spiritual obligations to each and every deity presented in the image.
Deity appears themselves to the limited entity, each limited entity should refrain from harassing the deity.
Core Advaita Tradition branching from Adi Shankara has pretty much watered down the Deity relationship and considered Brahman effulgence to be the ultimate destination.
This deity relationship is very unique aspect to the Dvaita or Inself Yoga tradition, I am grateful to my teacher Yogi Madhvacharya for teaching me this subject.
This is a very condensed picture of several deity relationships, and I will elucidate in the coming posts of this series on each particular deity's relationship with the level of permission granted to me.
Advantages of Mapping:
- This mapping gives me clarity for my obligation to each deity & guru.
- With every Guru or Deity relationship, there is a burden of obligation in the form of following the instructions and austerities to fulfill that particular relationship and to maintain the energy format.
- Often, I have run into conflicts of interest among deities while following their instructions and commands. It is extremely difficult in this limited world for a limited entity to follow every instruction to the fullest degree possible, still one has to endeavor to the fullest.
Pre-caution note:
Certain spiritual aspirants try to duplicate the relationships with deities or gurus presented in the below image, thinking if this idiot (Ani) has a certain relationship, I can also forcefully establish a relationship with Guru or deity.
This tendency will eventually lead to harassing the gurus/ deities astrally or physically for a relationship which one may not be ready or evolved for or existentially does not even exist. This can lead to a curse (vocally or silently laid on one's back that a limited entity can never perceive).
All the relationships were personal to my entity alone and I can accurately trace them back to my previous births, instructions, austerities & energy given at specific (astral/ physical) places & times, and of course, existential relationships. Each entity will have its own unique relationship with a deity or combination of deities.
This tendency of certain to duplicate certain entities' experiences & failure to experience similar results or outcomes, has caused a lot of psychic resentment and frustration energy to me and my related gurus & even deities at times depending on their astral geography.
This is the reason, I briefly took a break from sharing my experiences apart from the excessive workload:
- One should look at these articles on the inself yoga website with a fresh perspective and open mind for new knowledge and an example of how simple to complex spiritual knowledge can be on this side of material existence.
- Just like how we would read a Scientific American magazine or any Science journal, same way inself yoga is a non-sectarian and open spiritual science journal articles forum. Unlike Material science, many of the higher experiences in spiritual science will be subjective based on the karmic history over many lives and the existential status/ relationship between atmas.
- If one chases down the writer and harasses them for not getting a similar outcome, the present & future writers may stop writing and again everybody should whine that all spiritual science has expired or not working at the current vibration of Prakriti and cry till the throat drys out.
- Also, one has to be careful when one harasses any entity including the writer that they are not alone, several entities are watching over them. Even ants have their insecurities protected by Prakriti and other deities, one should keep Buddhi/ intellect organ in check from making plots to harass any entity.

I am really impressed by the lineage diagram. Even though I am personally not researching my own lineage nor have the psychic capability or any interest in doing so, I was struck by the clarity. Well done!
I took a second look later on and I wondered why oh why it is so difficult to break out of samsara which seemingly includes the entanglement with all those entities and deities. Why isn’t the influence/connection with the deities strong enough to bring liberating insight?
I always come back round to the conclusion that the goal of inSelf practitioners is not total release from deities and supernatural/heavenly realms but rather to find a place of preference that one finds palatable.
The question remains: Where can one go and stay forever? Is there such a place? Or will one fall down to lower realms eventually, perhaps after spending eons of existence in the place one strived to qualify for?
All the possibilities! All the connections! All the obligations! How could one possibly escape?

There is no doubt that your psyche and your writing are filled with Buddha's teaching energy and his grace. Strong thervada influence is very evident!
You are in thervada masters pool of energy!
Deities energies are sure strong enough but this entity's spiritual evolutionary status and attraction to prakriti/subtle-gross material nature for constant exploitation is even stronger.
Limited entity is rooted so deeply in prakriti for eons that even when deity's pull us to their world or appear in lower world (our earth), we could not remember the energy format, because this earth is so anesthetic and attractive that we forget higher experiences. Loneliness is a gift for ascetic but material nature doesn't give it easily or for long time either!
Also, the perception of deities makes one understand how tiny and puny we are in this existence.
Even some of these powerful demi Gods have limited power in space and time compared to their super Gods and bosses like Krishna, Shiva, Buddha and Durga, I know from my experience.
Imagine how microbial we are! The idea of jivatma (class of limited entity) is one with paramatma (unlimited entity) as said in advaiti school of thought is broken into pieces.
The advice given to me from higher folks is to remove or mitigate the attraction to lower (tamo guna) tendencies like sleep, lust, anger, fear, confusion, ignorance and be in Sattva/ clarity mode of consciousness.
Easier said than done. But the advice when applied over the years eventually prevents one from taking lower births and possibility for appearing in higher worlds and we can hope for the best in higher realms based on the level of purification attained.
