INTRODUCTION
Based on the deeds of the past man takes birth on earth, The karma yoga sastra
(science) says that a man should uphold the principles of Truth and Justice to attain
greatness.
The karma yoga has the unique power of increasing or decreasing the impact of the
evil deeds (committed in the past births) in one's present life. Vaasiyogam is a class of
yoga that strengthens the body, controls the breathing systems with the strength of
the body, opens the third eye namely the eye on the forehead and helps one to attain
greatness.
It is a difficult task to master the art of Vaasiyogam, put it into practice to get the
desired effect. Karma yoga sastra firmly says that the third eye of a person could be
opened, only if he discharges his duties to the entire satisfaction of the God. The
SIDDHAR Karma yoga Sastra prescribes certain paths that can be easily followed by
people of various faiths, races and languages to attain greatness.
The Siththa's (a class of Celestials) followed this path, removed the impact of the evil
deeds of his past births and derived many benefits out of life. Sre Kagabujandar (Sre
Kakabusundi) has advised his disciple that the SIDDHAR karma yoga path is a rare and
unique path.
Siddhar Karma Yoga can be divided into two parts based on the theory that causes the
deed to be done and performs the deed. They are:(1) Karma yoga unto oneself (2)
Karma yoga unto others.
This means doing one's duty that one is bound is to do to himself or to his relatives.
One should possess a good conduct in order to build up his character and abide by the
rules laid down by the law of righteousness in his present birth. One should do his duty
he is bound to do towards his sister, brother, father, mother, wife, uncle, children
grandfather and grandmother. He should discharge his duties to the entire satisfaction
of God, direct them to lead a virtuous life in accordance to the law of righteousness. He
should staid as the very embodiment of the principles prescribed by the treatise and
therefore instill them to do good deeds in all the ways they can in order to enable them
to reap the benefits out of life. Thus he should ultimately make them devoted followers
of the Science of Karma yoga. Thus, "The Universal Supreme Preceptor Sre
Kaagabujandar" speaks about "Siddhar karma yoga unto oneself in his treatise on
karma yoga. Thus, the treatise contains the direct advice of The Supreme Preceptor of
the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar"(Sre Kakabusundi)to his kind disciple Sre Gorakkar.
Karma Yoga unto others is discharging duty to other souls who are not related to us. A
person who follows Karma Yoga should possess a good conduct and character and
adhere the path of righteousness. Apart from this he can advice those who are friendly
with him to follow the path of righteousness and make abide by the rules laid down by
the principles of Truth and Justice. One should make others to do their duties properly
in order to reap the benefits of good deeds and thereby enable them to lead an ideal
life. Thus, The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar" in his text lays
emphasis on "Karma yoga unto others" in his advice to Sre Gorakkar.
The first step in Karma yoga is to bring our mind to concentrate on one idea. This
bringing of the mind to concentrate on one thing is called as meditation. In order to
control the mind, which always think of so many things at the same time, and
enlighten it one should do meditation. When the mind is clear the seeds of devotion
can be easily sown in the field of the mind. As a seed of devotion, one should accept
any one of the Gods as his preceptor (Guruji) and begin to worship Him. The Supreme
Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"has thus advised his
disciple Sre Gorakkar on the first step on Karma Yoga.
The second step in Karma Yoga is love for mankind. With the guidance of the Preceptor
(Guru) one should think about the greatness and setbacks of the other creations of
God.
One should impress in one's mind the greatness present in the creatures, as creatures
they are the very embodiments of righteousness. One should be clear in mind, about
how one can discharge his duties to others also do their duties properly in order to
earn the fruits of the good deeds according to the science of Karma Yoga. This is the
second step advised by The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar
(Sre Kakabusundi)" to his disciple Sre Gorakkar.
When one follows Karma Yoga and leads an ideal life, the evil deeds of his past births
have an impact on him and prevent him from discharging his duties as prescribed in
the text (Karma Yoga) by subjecting him to tests and ordeals in his present life.
In such cases, the man in question must approach his Preceptor (Guru), get the
blessings of the Preceptor (Guru) and the deity, and continue to follow Karma Yoga
without the presence of any flaw. Moreover one should keep a constant touch with the
Siththa's (Who belongs to a class of Celestials and are the very embodiment of
righteousness) and receive their blessings. By doing so, one can lessen the impact of
sin committed in the past births attain fulfillment in Karma Yoga reap the best benefits
offered by Karma Yoga and achieve greatness in life.
Thus, the sins committed in the past births give diminishing impact on the souls who
seek the help of the Siththa's. Through this Science (Sastra) we come to understand
that God paves the way for man to achieve greatness by his contacts with the Siththa's
that have acquired the eight great mystic powers. Therefore The Supreme Preceptor of
the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)"advises us to follow this step
(third step), which is most important step in Karma Yoga in his text to his disciple Sre
Gorakkar
The Supreme Preceptor of the Universe - "Sre Kagabujandar (Sre Kakabusundi)" who
is a 'Karpagavirutcha tree' (a celestial tree that offers what a person wishes for)
appeared to Bhaaskharamaharishi in his dream, blessed him with seven Theetchai's.
More over, he bestowed on him by touch (Sparisa Theetcha). Sre Kagabujandar (Sre
Kakabusundi) instructed the Bhaaskharamaharishi to give complete details on the
seven paths to devotees who have a high regard for him. Peoples who wish to get such
advice should bow down their heads, in reverence to receive the Theetcha.Now, let us
look into the seven fold paths of Theetchai's.
