Dr Pillai (Baba)’s New YouTube Video for His Singapore Students!

Namaste everyone,

Here is a YouTube video Dr Pillai (Baba) specially made for His Singaporean students about His two events in Singapore next week: the introductory MindScience event  on 20 August 2010 and His 2-day exclusive seminar on “Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras and How To Acquire Siddhi (Supernormal) Powers”.

Dr Pillai (Baba)’s YouTube video is absolutely brilliant because in it, Baba gives His most simplest explanation of what MindScience is, which led me to have my first “so this is what MindScience is really about!!” moment. If you’ve always wanted to understand what MindScience is, watch this video!

According to Dr Pillai (Baba), MindScience is about creating matter out of pure thought. The yogis were inner scientists of the highest order and understood that at the quantum state, the distinction between the mind (thought) and matter collapsed. At this level of consciousness, the yogis attained the power to manifest their thoughts. MindScience  is therefore about learning how to get to the quantum state and acquiring the power of thought manifestation for yourself.

Dr Pillai (Baba)’s YouTube video reminded me of another masterful exposition Baba had given on thought manifestation (siddhi consciousness) which I remember was one of the things that had attracted me to Baba’s teachings 9 years ago. This was an article written by Baba in the early 90s and was posted online in May 1995 titled “Dr Pillai (Guruji) Speaks on Siddhi”. Amazingly,  this article is still available online and you can read it HERE: http://www.hindunet.org/alt_hindu/1995_May_2/msg00088.html

Interestingly, in this article, Dr Pillai (Baba) spoke  about Patanjali and his techniques to acquire siddhi (supernormal) powers. Baba wrote:

Siddhi consciousness is a consciousness of pure, overflowing joy both within oneself and with one’s relationship to the created world.  This consciousness is usually awakened either by the grace of the Guru or directly by the grace of God.  Nevertheless, there are techniques that the Siddhas have developed to awaken the Siddhi awareness.  Patanjali, author of The Yoga Sutras, wrote an entire section on Siddhi called the Vibhuti Pada.  In the Vibhuti Pada, Patanjali outlines many techniques to gain super-normal powers. Unfortunately, Patanjali doesn’t explain himself.  He simply states the sutra (aphorism) and then says that by doing samyama (a special type of meditation) on the sutra that the practitioner will gain the supernormal power that the sutra describes.

When I first read Baba’s article over 9 years ago, I recall clearly thinking to myself ‘wouldn’t it be just magical to be able to learn Patanjali techniques?”…. Next Saturday and Sunday, many of us will fulfill our soul’s’ deepest desire to acquire such abilities!
