Swami Rejects Personal Servant

A swami who established a religious institution globally, met me in the astral world recently. He took residence at Yogeshwarananda’s astral place because he needed to escape from harassment from many of his deceased disciples who discovered that his method of liberation was invalid.

This swami’s astral body recently began the bhastrika breath infusion practice. While talking to him when he was to my right, another person who was his personal servant for some years stood to my left. The swami wanted this person, his former servant to go away. He thought to me like this,

“He should go away. They know I cannot help. What I promised did not work. Providence did not honor it or it did so superficially and as a belief system. Please ask him to go away.”

After he said this, his former servant thought mentally to tell me, that he had no where to go and that since he was with the swami for many years, serving him and his mission, he had no other reference for reliance.

Hearing this, the Swami thought to me mentally in secret like this.

“There is another issue. There is something personal which I must tell you. I no longer want a personal servant. It leads to moral problems like homosexuality, sexual erections during massages, sexual affectionate feelings which arise due to touching and nudity. I need to protect myself from this. I should avoid male persons to whom such feelings would arise. This happened with him as he was my masseur for many years.

“You know that the Mughal emperors had concubines and eunuchs. Sometimes there would be sexual affairs with the concubines or eunuchs. The royal lifestyle is risky. Please send him away.’

To this I replied,

“He cannot be expelled. I will do something to keep him at a distance from you but I cannot send him away. He has permission from Yogeshwarananda just as you do. On that authority he can stay. But he will not approach you at this place. He will always keep at a distance from you. Have no fear.”

Special Note:

A swami is supposed to have a personal servant who serves his meals, tidies his quarters, provides his attire, monitors his visitors and accompanies him on trips. Ideally this person should be a celibate young man. The principle is that a senior renunciant or sannyasi, should be convenienced with a junior renunciant who has no carnal knowledge, a person whom is without sexual experience in the present life.

In some situations, this personal assistant will give the Swami massages on a daily basis. He may cook the Swami’s meals. He may serve the meals. He will monitor appointments between anyone and the swami. He will present the views of the swami.

If, however either the Swami or the assistant has carnal knowledge or is experienced sexually in the present body, there is the likelihood that there may be sexual arousal during some services rendered by the assistant. For instance, during bathing when there is nudity or during dressing when there is the same. It may happen during massaging.

Originally in bygone times, a swami was a person who was a lifelong celibate. He had no sexual experience in the present body. His personal servant was a boy or young man who did not have sexual experience. This means that the idea of sexual intercourse was not present in his psyche as an active memory from this life time.

The risk is there in any case, but it is definitely present if the swami and/or the servant had sexual experience in the current body.
