Dear Friends,
The World Peace Mission starts with you. The mission of mankind is to
find and remember their soul connectedness to God and the divine; and
the journey in this world is to go in to our innermost nature and find
our God consciousness, and the essence of that consciousness is love and
peace.
As human beings, we make a journey. In the journey we have free
will to choose our destiny. It was in 1985 when I was 35 that I chose my
destiny. I read the book ’Autobiography
of a Yogi’ by
Parahamansa Yogananda and my Guru, Maha Avatar Babaji called me.
It was in 1997 when I was 47 that I first stood before my Master.
On meeting my beloved Guru his first words to me were, “You have been looking for me for 12 years and now I have called you.”
I was blind to who he was and I was blind to who I was and to how
humanity is. Babaji often said to me, “Don’t look at
me, I am not what you see”. Now I realise that as our consciousness opens, so we become
conscious of all other beings.
Babaji’s
mission with the Lord Jesus Christ was to bless and seed the pure
consciousness in all who came to him. The seeding of this energy
he called the Fire Baptism. I now realise it’s
the fire of the Holy Spirit.
In 2003 after many visits and many years of teaching Kriya Yoga
for him, he blessed me to carry on the World Peace Mission. The
Babaji took me and four devotees to see the Dalai Lama to discuss the
Peace Mission.
In 2005 Babaji blessed me with my name, Swami (Member of Ancient Order
of Monks) Paramahansa (Highest Swan) Aliyananda (The Greatest Rejoice).
In 2008 Babaji entered Samadhi, which means, state of God-Union.
A small band of my disciples and I were with him approximately two
months before he departed the physical body. As I sat at his feet
for the last time, for the last hour of the last day of this visit, he
handed me a sacred seed from Adam’s
tree. It had been given to Babaji by Neem Keroli Baba and Babaji
gave it to me saying that before I left the world I must hand it on to
my chosen disciple to carry on the work. And so dear friends, I am
here writing this to you to express the heartfelt desire to carry out
Babaji’s
wishes.
I have been teaching Kriya Yoga and spiritual teachings for him for the
last 10 years, and through that time students have come to me from all
areas of the world. I now realise that the
This Peace Mission is YOU. As you find that seed of light within
yourself, so the radiance divine will pour forth in your home, blessing
the family, blessing the town, blessing who you are with and where you
are, for we truly are all one.
Following the Divine
Plan:
If you are drawn to this article and feel inspired to learn Kriya Yoga I
will be delighted to come to your country and towns to speak at seminars
and teach groups.
The teaching is for meditation, for as we cleanse our hearts and minds
and the heart becomes purified and the seed of consciousness is ignited
in the brow, so the consciousness of God and the love of your heart
become one, expressed through your voice in the world.
To get to this place takes time, commitment and practice. The
practice that I teach all my students is Kriya Yoga. This is the
teaching of Babaji’s
lineage. Lahiri taught it, Yogananda taught it. I am
Aliyananda and I teach it. Kriya yoga is a sacred science using the
sacred breath. As I teach groups to learn and practice this sacred
art, I also bless them and initiate them with the Fire Baptism,
the Holy Spirit as Babaji, Lahiri and Yogananda did before me.
The purpose of Kriya Yoga is to find self realisation and God
consciousness. Babaji said I was a living Master and carrying on
the lineage and the work for him. He blessed other disciples to
carry on other aspects of his work and this is the part that I am
carrying on for him.
As I travel around the world, so the right teachers will emerge through
their own commitment. God and the Masters will put them before me.
With love and blessings from Swami Aliyananda Parahamansa
