RAMALINGA

NOW PRESENT AMONG US IN HIS DIVINE BODY OF UNIVERSAL PRESENCE

IMMORTAL GOLDEN BODY

Ramalinga longed for to be blessed with a body free from the influence of planets, which could not be destroyed by the elements of Nature, death, illness, etc. The Grace of Supreme Love transformed him, who was endowed with a divine body, therefore only the Eternal Grace Light is capable of converting this human body in a Body of Light. Uniquely the Principle of the Light may liberate this body from decadence. This Principle has two important aspects: PAROPAKARAM (universal respect for life) and SATVICHARAM (devotional meditation); if one is capable to be adhered to the first aspect the Grace descends on him easily.

All the beings are manifestations of God and a portion of Grace Light. Therefore, manifesting love and compassion toward all the creatures the Universal Communion can be achieved and by means of it the Divine Grace will descend in Light form; allow oneself to be overcome by this Universal Love and Spiritual Communion is the true sadhana.

Likewise the God's Love increases by the ardent Devotion to God. The constant thought on God and petition for his Grace gradually enriches the devout with sparks of Eternal Light, generating a mild heat in the body that increases gradually and cannot be tested with clinical thermometer. Without knowing this secret, many yogis passed for severe penances and meditated for many years seeking this Fire to arise in them.

As the spiritual Communion and the sacred Fire increase more and more, the disciple's body and soul go being prepared to receive the God's Grace. Its descent in Light form may happen in different ways. The divine rays of Grace penetrate the eyes, the mind and the intellect. As a result of this an Alchemy transformation takes place, in such a way that the impure particles of physical body are purified in a Body of Love.

Ramalinga passed through various stages of transmutation until the time when the Divinity gave him a Flower of luminous and intense red color, the first guarantee of his body would be Immortal. This rapid process affected as much his soul as his physical body and was attainable when the Divine Grace crowned with Light his head avoiding him the effort of elevating himself to the Self and descending from. Ramalinga said that the key of his Transformation was that the Supreme One embraced him and by means of this Hug left printed in his body the Golden Immortal Form of His Body itself.

The type of Dematerialization by which Ramalinga's body disappeared also happened with Manickavasagar; in both cases there was not any desire of returning to be born. Nevertheless, his is the first case known in which the Immortality of the body was reached before the dematerialization occurs, living for one year more. The Inmortal body isn't subjected to the temporary nature of the Elements, neither to the illness nor to planetary influences, not being able the weapons to cause it wounds not even damage the violent actions; its causal Nature is beyond the time restriction, having been totally penetrated by the Most supreme Power of Maha Shakti in all levels, therefore the life is maintained in this body by own express wish. Besides in Ramalinga existed the desire for manifesting himself again (after dematerialization) in a self-created Body to realize divine miracles on Earth and be able to enter into all the physical bodies, into the atmosphere, into the nature, inro the collective unconsciousness, ... giving universal care and protection.

These three Bodies were successively reached and realized by Ramalinga:

SUDDHA DEHAM

The first body in which the physical body results transformed, by Divine Grace, is the Suddha Deham or perfect body.

According to the description done by Ramalinga, in those who have reached Suddha Deham as much the dermis as the epidermis become extraordinarily smooth; nerves, tendons and muscles relax gradually; bones, membranes and cartilages become automatically flexible; blood coagulates and semen concentrates; the brain and all its parts became spongy expanded like a flower; through the entire body leaks the Elixir that flows filling it completely. Their face become brilliant, delicate and harmonious, making evident the internal state of Beatitude. Their senses can perceive all without being limited by any barrier or obstacle; their eyes can have a view of whole Universe, by that reason they aren't interested in observing the things of the world; they are able to see the content of all the worlds and beings (as much external as internally), without this vision may be hindered by dense barriers like walls or high like mountains; their tongue taste all the flavours, their skin experiences all tactile sensations, their nose sniffs all the smells, their ears are filled of melodies being able to listen any sound produced in any place. With their arms and hands they can take one thing independently of the distance, or give it to other there where he may be; they can reach any destiny without need that their legs do some physical movement, moving without step the ground; with their voice can communicate with anybody in any place of the universe and still beyond. They will be free from the need to consume food, from satisfy the sexual impulse and from feel fear; the body exempt from defects and impurities is refreshed, does not excrete, does not perspire and does not project shadow on the ground; their external appearance corresponds approximately to twelve years old; their hair doesn't become grey, their skin doesn't become wrinkle, they do not age and do not be under the control of death. Their breast and heart swell up palpitating of Love; the four aspects of the mind are illuminated and in total harmony; all the visible parts of the body radiate ecstacy; the ego has disappeared, being extinguished finally the signs of passed lives. God, in the form of Supreme Love, fills those Pure bodies with Divine Life.

Not being subjected to any limitation, those who have achieved Suddha Deham are able to create and destroy according to their own will, to resurrect a dead person and return an elder to the youth. Their knowledge is God's Knowledge, their action is God's Action, their experiences come from God himself, being manifested the Divine Grace through them. Even the most insignificant inanimate thing will be called to enter into a conscious life only by the Grace of their Look and by their mere Presence; the Greatness and the Glory of their Divine State necessarily will cover what is said by the six traditional spiritual disciplines (Vedanta, Siddhanta, Kalanta, Bodhanta, Nadanta -Tantra- and Yoganta), but will transcend and surpass all of them, being this Divine State what will carry them to achieve the Total and Perfect Bliss.

PRANAVA DEHAM

Pranava Deham is a Body of Grace that can be seen but not touch. The appearance of those who have attained this Body corresponds to a child who has from 5 to 8 years old; they make full use of all the siddhis according to their own will. The Vast Grace manifests completely through them, who enjoy the most celestial Bliss and sweet Ambrosia.

GNANA DEHAM

Gnana Deham is the next state in the highest Evolution contemplated for the human being. It is the highest Transmutation in God, emerging a Body of Supreme Knowledge which is that of the Unique God. This body is Omnipresent and full of Power and Grace, but neither can be seen nor touched nor perceived.

The final aim for the human in this material plane, without keep in mind the duration of his life, in accordance with Ramalinga, is to achieve ANMALABAM, which is the divine life that begins for its uninterrupted enjoyment, in every time and place, without being disturbed by any force, after achieving the Eternal Bliss of the Self who manifests radiant and luminous, full of Perfection and Sweetness. This blessing for the soul (that is Anmalabam) can be obtained by means of realizing four disciplines:

1- The first is the basis of the other three, being known as the discipline of the five senses. It seeks to control body and senses, in two ways: Jnanendriya (by understanding) and Karmendriya (by action).

2- The second touches the four aspects of the mind. Seeking the control of mind and its faculties, the disciple fixes his attention in the center of forehead (between both eyebrows, a little above the union among the nasal bone and the frontal), in the Ajna.

3- The third is the discipline of jeeva, by means of which should be seen surpassed all the differences because of the social condition, sex, religion, race, nationality, etc. showing a noble conduct toward all the beings.

4- Finally, the discipline of atma considers All as Manifestation of the Infinite and Universal Divine Existence, being able to see the Divinity in all the beings.

One can be a sincere seeker following the first two disciplines; the other two will not be able to be followed effectively until the Divine Grace should have been received, but one will be able to aspire to them and be based on their example.

The realization of these four disciplines is consummated in three successive achievements:

1- the achievement of Divine Life

2- the experience of the Eternal Grace

3- the full union with the Supreme Being

The achievement of Divine Life entails that the self may enjoy, full and naturally, the happiness without any limitation. A human being begins to suffer by one or another reason since the fertilization takes place in the mother's womb; in fact the sufferings that must be experienced accompany him in his birth. Ramalinga himself spoke about sadnesses of the fetus before being born, and those pains that he experienced when he was a child before being fulfilled the great petition elevated to God. For those who take these sufferings as something real, the life is sad and monotonous. Nevertheless, all the great saints, ascetics and learned on the Truth have worried for the suffering in this world and all those who have found a solution to it have preached that the Devotion to God is the unique option. Ramalinga indicated that when the Supreme Love itself entered into him, all the chains were broken at once forever, being only Stillness instead of them. In this state, the being loses his sense of individuality, being immersed the soul in Divine Grace. On having achieved this aim, it sprouts the desire to continue advancing more and more.

The second achievement supposes that the being may be increasingly more aware of being a part of the Vast Grace, being sanctified by It with Immortality and Omnipresence. Truly there are not words to explain what this State of Bliss supposes for the disciple, who results transmuted into an Incarnation of the Grace.

But longing to go further, the being will rise more and more above, toward the highest summit, coming to culminate achieving the full Union with God for all the Eternity. This last state is inconceivable, ineffable and unimaginable... impossible to describe.

KEYS OF THE PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION OF RAMALINGA

The Golden Immortal Body is a form of Pure Divine Light that it is not possible to perceive by senses, though it has infinite number of manifestations, like supporting a physical appearance that allows staying in contact with other human beings. Some of the contemporary disciples who had occasion to see Ramalinga, described several of the exceptional qualities that they observed in him, but they seemed to be more interested in the miracles he was doing that in going so far as to be themselves fully participants of his Divine Nature.

In the last stage of his life, Ramalinga often stayed away for days insisting on nobody should watch over him not even go in search of him. Though in this way he was clearly indicating that disciples not have to be attached to his physical appearance, none of them understood that Ramalinga was not travelling but simply he was adopting the form no visible of the Golden Body, in order to manifest more widely among them. Finally, on having noticed that neither they were changing their attitude nor understanding the Truth, Ramalinga did not find reasons for keeping on support his physical appearance.

None of his traditional disciples have been able to achieve the Golden Immortal Body, because by his Dematerialization Ramalinga made the Truth to remain completely veiled. It has been in that way until Ramalinga himself, after opening the new Path of Grace Light at the present time, has revealed to his actual disciples the secret aspects of his process of Transformation, some of whose keys are explained in next lines.

The God's Hug

Ramalinga realized the Golden Immortal Body few years before his Dematerialization. Even before having reached the plenitude of that state it may be said that he had already achieved it, so there is no return after having started the process of merging with the Divinity. It is needed to understand that only the Divine Compassion could keep him in the physical level, since it is so extremely strong the desire of absorption in the Totality that uniquely the self can remain here (in the Earth) for Love to all the other beings. In fact there have been Masters who have abandoned the earthly level, either just at the time of reaching the Golden Body or previously to realize it, and only Ramalinga remained in the proximity of thousands persons for years (in verifiable way).

The process to the achievement of Golden Body started with what Ramalinga called “the God's Hug”, which was the descent of the Grace Light to his heart. In return for the infinite Divine Love, Ramalinga surrendered himself fully to become the way through which the Light should manifest widely on the Earth, coming to all the beings. As a result of it, Grace Light would reside forever in his heart and transform his physical body into a Body of Light, free from pain, illness and death.

Thus it is confirmed that the way of heart is the path that leads to the achievement of Golden Body. The way of middle-eyebrow is the path of the yogis but it does not lead to realize this Goal, contrary to what some people have come affirming for more than one century, nor leads to this Goal the way of knowledge, which is the path of the wise.

The Internal Guidance, source of true Knowledge and self-Power

The initial steps of his process were not experienced by Ramalinga for himself, but for creating a Way that others could follow. Thus he lived through some class of experiences without really needing it for himself, but only in order to others should take it as an example and comprehend that it is possible to go out from darkness and ignorance by means of self-surrendering to the Grace. Thus it is affirmed that his process would have been very much short, since he was born firmly disposed and well prepared to achieve the Golden Body. And also it is affirmed that his initial join to Hinduism had the exclusive purpose to set a clear precedent of realizing that those and other spiritual practices and faiths are not necessary and must be left away.

Though initially Ramalinga found inspiration in the life of some Saints, alone God was who directed him along the right way by means of the Internal Guidance. And Ramalinga himself has arranged that the Truth preserves intact and only it may be completely known by means of his Internal Guidance. Because of the threat that for the most of people is the proliferation of false masters unscrupulous, Ramalinga wrote about his process of Transformation, but he did it in symbolic manner and always talking about completed stages. To silence the details was necessary in order to prevent anyone from making a bad use of his words to cheat on others, feigning to have reached an achievement that have not truly realized.

Ramalinga did not aspire to enjoy divine powers, but there were large number of siddhis manifested through his Golden Body in natural way, being even larger the number of those powers he was enjoying due to his full Union with the Supreme Lord. He did not obtain these siddhis by means of secret practices but they were granted him directly by the Grace Light. This is also one of the most important keys, as well as the fact of he always exercised these siddhis to benefit other beings and never for his own well. There will never go so far as to realize the Golden Immortal Body those who only aspire to enjoy the divine powers and do not doubt in resorting to manipulate and extort other people in order to achieve their aims.

The Flame ever burning without combustible

Ramalinga was accustomed to meditate with two fires to the sides. The proximity of so intense source of heat, for so long periods, would be hardly bearable for another human being. Nevertheless Ramalinga had control over the Fire, which was already demonstrated when he made lamps to burn without oil. Sun is also related with Fire, and there was seen in several occasions by many eye-witnesses how a column of Light was linking Ramalinga with the sun. It may happen that an element of the matter is a particular allied when the Divine Light manifests through someone, and that element has an intense activity when this manifestation of the Light is extensive (thunderstorms, gales, earthquakes, etc). Thus the function of the fires was to indicate the Divine Presence, at the same time that to collaborate with the Divine Power in the physical level.

There are those who recommend practices of Kundalini as a way to achieve the Golden Body, but it is the truth that both processes are completely different and have no relation at all. Kundalini is a process of transmutation but also of destruction, which generates very high heat in the body. The Grace Light transmutes but does not destroy, and does not generate heat but cold that may get to be very intense. The well known qualities of the Fire and the Sun must not be confused with the exclusive qualities of the Golden Body. The cold internally generated makes someone to bear very high temperatures without sweating, as well as the vital constants to remain being similar to the characteristic constants of hibernation (low cardiac and respiratory rhythm, etc), where the vital fluids change their density. In those conditions the brain works in an altered state of consciousness, which is to some extent similar to lucid dreaming. Several times Ramalinga spoke about those peculiarities, and some of them could be directly observed in him by his contemporary disciples.

On having realized the Golden Body, Ramalinga turned into the living Jothi, the embodiment of the Divine Flame. The external jothi (lamp of oil) requires fuel for burning and there is a matter (wick) that turns out to be destroyed. The Grace Light is the Divine Flame ever burning without combustible, which does not generate heat neither damages nor destroys, therefore its Nature is very superior to that of the external jothi, and it cannot be seen nor understood by means of continually keep a jothi burning, in order to contemplate and venerate it. Those who recommend this practice have not understood the true Message of Ramalinga, and have distorted his words. The external jothi scarcely gives light to a small space around, whereas the living Jothi illuminates the whole world. This is the fundamental mission of the achievement of Golden Immortal Body.

About feeding

The Grace Light is also the Pure Nectar that runs incessantly from the Divine Source of Life. Along his process of Transformation, Ramalinga tasted different types of nectar, being the fifth Nectar the one which would turn into his sole feeding. The Golden Immortal Body, in its most pure form, exists only by the Grace Light (as Nectar) and not by eating perishable food.

Nevertheless the coexistence with other human beings required that for some time Ramalinga kept on eating certain class of food, in frugal way. Along the process of Transformation only it can be taken vegetable food, which must be right cooked and consumed in suitable circumstances. From the time when the Divine Nectar starts to run, as it is more and more abundant lower is the need of eating, not only because of the diminishing of hunger and liking for food, but also due to the fact of the large amount of energy used in digestion disturbs the internal Balance, which also turns out to be affected by the assimilation of nutrients.

In this sense, the diet plan followed by Ramalinga does not have to be strictly followed by others, since it does not involve to progress rapid more in the process of Golden Body. This process must always be carried on individualized way, in accordance with the guidelines of the Internal Guidance, not only because of the physical and energy state of every person is different, but also due to particular external factors that must be kept in mind additionally.

About sleeping

In this sense, at present time Ramalinga has revealed that, along the process of Golden Body, in order to realize certain transformations it is required that one’s own conscience goes out from the body to be temporarily taken in the bosom of Pure Grace Light (unattainable from astral spheres). It is conducive to the self may have a more complete evolution out of the limitations of physical matter. Everything what may have taken place without the witnessing of mind, is not registered by memory, nevertheless when conscience comes back the being participates wholly in the development that has taken place, not only the physical body but also the spiritual and the energy body. The lasting of those absences is designed by Grace Light and does not depend on the individual will (which remains annulled), going from few minutes to several hours.

According to there is increasing the wish for experiencing continuously the Bliss of the Divine Presence, oneself understands that the sleep time interrupts the enjoyment of so grand Happiness, because the sleep (in the most) is only a middle state in which the subconscious comes to the surface, and links with the most instinctive and ancestral tendencies, within domains of darkness and ignorance. What takes body and mind to recover from daily wear and tear is only a short portion of the sleep time, called deep dream. Anyone who is capable of reaching rapidly the state of deep dream, is able to do without the remaining sleep time, therefore he needs to sleep very short time. But although the experiences that take place during the deep dream (which are not registered by memory) are refreshing, the true Transformation only may occur by means of the experiences that take place by the Grace Light.

The creation

Finally it is very important to focus on the maximum exponent of the culmination of Golden Body, which is the aptitude to create by means of the Light. The legacy that Ramalinga gave to us goes much further of a wide number of poems. He closed the temple he built and also the first path he opened, but before his Dematerialization he talked about a New Earth of Light, described his inhabitants and defined how the life would be there, and at the same time he was doing it he was creating this World of Grace as reflection of himself, since on having been One with God he was enjoying fully the creative Power of Divine Word. Every most splendid qualities of the Golden Immortal Body prevail over this Earth of Grace, since Ramalinga reigns over it from one to another side, because in the bosom of the Divine Light does not exist difference between the Creator and the Creation.

A second way (Path of Grace Light) has been opened at present time to make the Golden Body accessible to others, and make the New Earth of Light to manifest definitively at the level of the visible world.

“All the bones having become soft, all the tendons having lost their grip on the body system / The entire blood having congealed inside, the semen and sexual fluids having ascended to the chest and condensed into a supra-energy form / The cerebral hemispheres having expanded same as a flower blossoms, the delightful elixir (nectar) having flowed throughout the body system and filled it up / The whole body having become cool, the respiration having turned into imperceptible / Arising from my heart to blossom all souls, Oh my unique love! / Oh my unique love! By giving yourself to me, you have transmuted me through the Compassionate Light / Oh my unique love! You have brimmed in me as the cool ambrosial fare (nectar)”.
