Diwali – Light and Abundance
Dr. Yugandhar
Happy Diwali!
Today let me share some insights about the festival of
Diwali. Diwali is a festival of lights and abundance, let us
see how this simple festival reflects the secrets of light and
abundance. There is a great insight hidden in this festival.
The word" Lakshmi " ( Goddess of this Festival) came
from the word 'Lakshya 'which means 'the aim', just
having an aim is never enough, it is attention towards this
aim that is extremely important. Abundance is something
which is holistic, at the physical level it might be about
having good health in all it's dimensions - financial
abundance i.e taking care of your material needs, social
abundance i.e having harmonious relationships and the
spiritual abundance which provides insights and answers
to all your queries and confusions. So, attention leads to
abundance, please remember this. As long as you can give
great attention to details, abundance automatically follows,
where you keep attention is the point, at the physical
health level? or the financial level ? or the spiritual level?
or the social level?, keep your attention where you wish to
have abundance. If you want to have abundance in all it's
dimensions, keep attention on all the dimensions. This is
the meaning of Lakshmi, there is also something higher
called as MahaLakshmi - Maha means 'greater', a greater
aim. When your Lakshya (aim) aligns with the voice of the
soul coming from your hara, a massive attention emerges.
Due to this massive attention, maha (massive) abundance
enters into your life. So, greater the attention, greater the
abundance. Greatest the attention, greatest is the
abundance. So, have maha-lakshya ( great aim) and have
maha ( massive ) abundance. Let the personal evolution
get aligned with planetary evolution.
All the activities that this festival sees like cleaning the
house interiors and exteriors, giving away older clothes
and furniture, burning away the junk, wearing new clothes,
firing crackers, litting lamps etc are put together indicative
of soul expression for abundance and all these attract the
fresh energy of abundance. Thank You Very Much and
Best Wishes to each one of you!

Hara -Sanctum Sanctorum of
Consciousness
There‟s a place in the body that doesn‟t get much attention.
It‟s way down there below the head and below the heart. It‟s
the center of the body, literally. It‟s the same distance from this
point to the feet, as it is from this point to the head. Being a
natural center, it has an organizing effect on the human system
at every level. The body gets organized here, as does the mind,
the heart and the spirit. This lowly place is actually a lofty
place and it has a deep story.
This center is more a space than a place, for it‟s nonphysical.
It‟s located a little way down from the belly button and a little
way into the body on a subtle level, as a pulse, a seat, as
ground. Its nature is vibratory, its influence pervasive.
The Hara is a seat of power and vitality. Located at the
midway point of the body, the Hara is a natural balancer. We
really move from here because the legs are nearby and are an
extension of the Hara. The mind has a home here too: the Hara
is a place where thoughts cease and the mind becomes unified.
Physical life begins in the belly
Before life can begin, there‟s a vibratory animating force. That
force feeds the fetus through the
mother‟s diet, and continues to „feed‟
the birthed life once the umbilical cord
is removed.
The Hara is our connection to life:
earth, water, fire, air, sunshine, all
living things, the entire biosphere, and
its cosmic counterpart.
We have multiple invisible cords
linking us to all that‟s alive and the
enlivening force itself, and these all
Volume 1: Issue 3 A Fortnightly Spiritual E- Magazine
culminate in the Hara. The truth that we‟re One with all life
lives in the Hara.
The mind is on a tangent of its own
The mind often visits places that are fabricated and tense. The
rest of us is here. The body is here, the heart is here, our life is
here, breathing. The Hara is also here and can bring the mind
home. The mind has to come home for us to be successful at
anything because home is where our life is taking place.
The Hara centralizes and grounds the mind so its fullness can
be unleashed. A settled and available mind leads to other
significant resources we have.
The mind has true power but at its surface it‟s a runaway train.
You may be on this bumpy ride, or you may be absent even. If
you‟re on it, it‟s none too pleasant. If you‟re absent, there are
much more serious consequences.
The Hara is an organizing principle
It settles the mind and the whole being. It‟s also a seat of
vitality. Vitality is a quality of health and life that‟s often
lacking and misunderstood. Vitality is inborn, it‟s naturally
available as a resource for the body and the whole person.
Working with the Hara makes vitality abundantly available,
flowing properly and easily replenished. If vitality is
chronically low, engaging the Hara will restore it. Vitality is a
core component of all-around health; health that works on all
levels for the whole person.
Remember that life begins in the belly. That core connection to
life continues through the belly as the body develops. The Hara
is always connecting to life, the environment and greater
cosmic forces. The Hara is also an internal distributor for
vitality, feeding body and mind.
Primordial resource
Ultimately the Hara is a primordial resource. Here „primordial‟
means outside of time/space. Hara is about essence. Essence is
the life-giving presence within the body and mind. While it
dwells in the body and mind, this presence is both outside
time/space and outlasts it. Therefore the Hara provides
substantial access to an abiding, eternal and essential part of
human nature.
When thoughts cease and the mind becomes unified in the
Hara, the eternal opens up; the spiritual becomes available. The
spiritual is both innate and personal, and universal. The
universal aspect of spirituality is a dimension that co-exists
with the physical. The personal aspect of spirituality is the
human heart and soul.
Volume 1: Issue 3 A Fortnightly Spiritual E- Magazine
The Hara is home base for life in physicality, and home base
for all nonphysical but supremely essential ingredients of being
human. Having this one-point to centralize life in all its
multidimensionality makes life manageable and meaningful.
That life can be manageable and meaningful is both great news
and a fundamental orientation for a happy, healthy and
fulfilling existence.
Original nature
In the Hara everyday human emotions and random or unhelpful
thoughts find a resting place, allowing original nature to find
expression. Original nature is the timeless essence of each
person, the part that isn‟t locked into locality or chronology.
Being free in this sense reveals the big picture of subtle reality,
the reality that holds everyday reality in place. Living from the
Hara with full expression of original nature is to be fully
present in everyday reality and transcend it too. Being awake
here only happens when the already awake source is made
conscious. Original nature is already awake. The Hara is the
access point.
In Japanese, Hara literally means “belly.” Hara no aru hito
means “the man (person) with belly.” A person „with belly‟ is a
person with a „center.‟ Lacking a center results in loss of
balance. Having a center brings tranquility, stability,
warmheartedness and a magnanimous, detached response to
life, as well as surety and accurate action.
„Having Hara‟ brings a person into wholeness. Established in
original nature, honoring the body, mind and heart, one is able
to reliably address all spheres of life with equanimity,
equilibrium, depth and precision. Hara living matures both
character and wisdom with a gentle firmness, and is a lifelong
resource for daily existence and beyond.

The Deeper Meaning of Hara
Bronwen and Frans Stiene
The physical space where the hara or tanden is located is a
couple of inches below the navel, inside the body, closer to the
spine than the navel. As mentioned earlier it is not so much the
physical space that matters, but the energetic or spiritual
aspects represented by these words. In this sense, experience of
the hara can be spoken of as simply being hara.
In practical terms we talk of bringing the energy down to the
hara. Yet there are many layers to be discovered within this
concept of hara, so where exactly are we bringing the energy
to?
In training we learn and experience one step at a time.
Therefore to make the study of the hara easier to understand it
is taught that the tanden is the focus point in the belly while
hara is our true nature.
For this reason at a beginner‟s level practices and techniques
guide the mind to focus on the tanden – helping it not to
wander. These practices aid you in gaining a fuller
understanding of the tanden as your mind calms and you
become less distracted. This is the perfect way to begin your
training, and the deeper you go, the more your understanding
1changes and develops.
After what may take many years of practice, you will begin to
experience that the tanden actually becomes hara. This growth
in understanding is interlinked with a clearer understanding of
who you are. At this point your mind is not focused on one
point anymore but merged with everything.
If the mind remains focused at the tanden for your entire
spiritual journey, you will become stuck and restricted.
At the point of hara the mind has no place to stay still for it is
everywhere, completely in union with the universe, no
beginning and no end. It is open and at ease. This is hara, or in
other words, you have realized your true nature. Here your
mind never hesitates or stops; it is like water, when
encountering a rock, it simply flows around obstacles.
Volume 1: Issue 3 A Fortnightly Spiritual E- Magazine
Osho on Hara
Whenever you have nothing to do, just sit silently and move
inside to the place 2 inches below the navel, and remain there.
“Becoming aware of this center is going to help you
tremendously. So the more you abide there, the better. It will
create a great centering in your life energies. You just have to
start looking into it and it will start functioning; you will start
feeling that the whole of life moves around the center. It is
from the hara that life begins, and it is in the hara that life ends.
All our body centers are far away; the hara is exctly in the
center - that is where we are balanced and rooted. So once one
becomes aware of the hara, many things start happening.
For example, there will be less thinking because energy will not
move to the head, it will go to the hara.
The more you think of the hara, the more you concentrate there,
the more you will find a discipline arising in you. That comes
naturally, it has not to be forced.
The more you are aware of the hara, the less you will become
afraid of life and death - because that is the center of life and
death. Once you become attuned to the hara center, you can
live courageously. Courage arises out of it; less thinking, more
silence, less uncontrolled moments, natural discipline, courage
and rootedness, a groundedness. “

Ask and You Shall Receive Q-n-A with Dr. Yugandhar
Sanjeev Sharma: Please clarify the differences and similarities
between chakras and hara and its physical and non-physical
implications?
Dr. Yugandhar: Dear Sanjeev ji, let me share some insights
about the physical and non-
physical aspects of the Hara, the
physical body and the consciousness which is non-
physical forms something called
as an indivisible complex, one cannot actually seperate the
physical and non-physical
entities. They are completely penetrated with each other, and
cannot be seperable as long as
the consicousness lives in the
physical body. For the 60 trillion cells that are existing in
my physical body, I am the God
and for the 60 trillion cells of each person on the planet earth, he is the God. What god says, the 60 trillion cells respond, so whatever
that we think will have to manifest in the physical body, moment to
moment. That is the reason why the psycho-neuro-endocrino-immunology complex, the mind, the nervous system, the endocrinal
system and the immune system, put together, functions in such
perfect coordinated way, that we cannot seperate which is superior
and which is inferior, and this complex finally turns into something called as homeostatic mechanism, which balances everything. So, the
physical strata responds through the thought and the chakra system.
Each chakra is a meridian of several energy tubes. Each disease is nothing but a multi-chakra problem. Though we may say that some
disease is related to some chakra but every disease, for example
common cold is one simple disease in which every chakra is affected.
Every cell out of the 16 trillion cells is affected, no single cell is spared, and every disease is an every-cell disease and every-chakra
disease. Every problem is a multi-chakra problem. So, the harmony
between the similarities and dissimilarities, with differences and alignment has to happen. The harmony of everything has to happen,
harmony of all the chakras has to happen and this harmony happens
only at the level of hara and I am providing a picture how each chakra is connected and finally culminating into Hara, from where
the silver cord or sutratma emerges. For many people who get out of
body experiences, the silver cord may be connected from the
forehead or the back of the head but for many as well, when they are very deep, the silver cord takes the filaments from all chakras and
emerge from hara, at the time of death this cord or the sutratma gets
severed and cannot be re-connected and the physical body is declared as dead and the entity goes into its non-physical worlds. So, the 12
stranded DNA which we have been talking about is related to the 12
chakras, we already know the 7 chakras and the 8th one is the center
Volume 1: Issue 3 A Fortnightly Spiritual E- Magazine
of the solar system, once a person is getting connected to one's hara,
aligned to one's solar system he emerges and gets connected to even higher and deeper level. The journey then moves towards the galactic
center and moves towards the very center of the universe, the
brahmaand - it goes on and on, the awakening process goes on and
on. It doesn't stop anywhere.
Floyd: Why is there so much emphasis on awakening kundalini
in Indian Spiritual Circles?
Dr. Yugandhar: Yes Floyd, there has been so much of emphasis on the
kundalini energy today. let us throw
some light on this. The word 'kundalini' in Sanskrit means 'female
snake', kundala means male snake.
Because the flow of energy from the
mooladhara to the sahasrara via the sushumna nadi resembles the
serpentine fire because it moves like a
snake aggresively, it is called as kundalini - the female snake and the
awakening of kundalini energy
depends upon the convergence of one's consciousness. There are two
schools of thought as far as energy
and consciousness is concerned, the energy based practises, grossly
speaking turn out into a discipline. where the key word is practise or sadhana, another school of thought which emphasize on
consciousness, the main keyword is 'letting-go' - if you observe great
spiritual masters of the world, none of the spiritual masters like Gautama Buddha, Mahavir, Lao Tzu and Confucius, Socrates, Plato,
Ramana Mahrshi and many others never talked about kundalini, they
always emphasized on 'letting-go'. Does this mean that these spiritual
masters don't know anything about kundalini? They all know. Based upon this, there are 2 types of experiences - Energy Based and
Consciousness based, Energy based experiences include experiences
like out of body travel, third eye visions, past life visions and many experiences related to extra sensory perception like telepathy,
primordition etc. When it comes to Consciousness based experiences,
it is the insight - the satori, opening of a petal which matters most, which leads to transformation of an individual, which leads to
movement towards one's center. Both are very important but the
consicousness based experiences are most vital because it creates
transformation, while the energy based experiences are very exciting and sensational, they attract and excite you. Many people get stuck
up with this excitement. Many people identify their milestones of
transformation in terms of such experiences that is a big blunder. One should go beyond and get rooted to the center of one's consciousness
that is very important. So 'letting-go' is the keyword in the
consciousness based practises, so when you let go of yourself, you find yourself at your center. Thank you very muc

Parables
The Blind Men and the Elephant
Several citizens ran into a hot argument about God and
different religions, and each one could not agree to a common
answer. So they came to the Lord Buddha to find out what
exactly God looks like.
The Buddha asked his disciples to get a large magnificent
elephant and four blind men. He then brought the four blind to
the elephant and told them to find out what the elephant would
“look” like.
The first blind men touched the elephant leg and reported that
it “looked” like a pillar. The second blind man touched the
elephant tummy and said that an elephant was a wall. The third
blind man touched the elephant ear and said that it was a piece
of cloth. The fourth blind man hold on to the tail and described
the elephant as a piece of rope. And all of them ran into a hot
argument about the “appearance” of an elephant.
The Buddha asked the citizens: “Each blind man had touched
the elephant but each of them gives a different description of
the animal. Which answer is right?”

Testimonial
I have been practising various meditations for the past 6 years or so, however I could not
understand how a person can maintain awareness throughout the day while performing all his
activities. Breath Awareness or awareness of thoughts seemed such a tough task, thus making
me question my 1 hour meditation practises. When Dr. Yugandhar started talking about Hara
Consciousness, I found it very easy to practise as told by him with lots of care and detail.
Maintaining awareness of thoughts, breath and chakras became so natural whenever I started
passively attending to my hara. In moments of physical fatigue, I would start remembering
my hara and suddenly a silence and freshness would dawn upon me. With Hara awareness,
listening to the inner calm and making decisions becomes very easy thus reducing conflicts
and bringing in great clarity. I am very grateful for this beautiful teaching and feel fortunate
to receive it at this vital stage of my life. Thanks! – Floyd D’Silva, Goa
