MASTER
C.V.V.
On the banks
of river Cauveri there lived a great Yogi and Philosopher called Master C.V.V.
He was born in 1868 in Kumbakonam. He was the Chairman of Kumbakonam Municipal
Council for some time and led a princely life. He lost his first wife and then
married again.
From then
onwards his life turned a big corner. He wanted to create a new type of society
based upon deathless man and a perfect man who will be free from decay and
disease and who will enjoy uninterrupted longivety. This may mean a bit strange
at the outset. But Master put forth his new plan of action, admitted more than
seven hundred and fifty students who ranged from office clerk to High Court
Judge. He conducted a number of congregations for more than ten years from
1910-1922 at Kumbakonam.
Master gave a
few prayers and a number of courses to be practiced daily.
He gave SIX
contracts.
1.Plenty prana
supply
2.Conscious
state throughout
3.Body without
decay
4.Without
figure charge
5.Recalling the
dead
6. Aura
Protection
Master C.V.V.
passed away in 1922 much earlier than his schedule period, because he wanted to
continue his work in the planetary cosmos, leaving the work to be continued on
this earth.
Sri Veturi
Prabhakara Sastri from Tirupati and Sri M.Narasimham Pantulu at Ongole (He was
the nephew of Sri T.Prakasam) continued and spread his spiritual mission
throughout the state and the same work was given more publicity by E.K. of
world teacher's trust in a different way.
Master believed that his concept of new man on new earth would materialise in hundred years, provided his programme was faithfully followed. He gave one simple prayer to his followers to begin with in his own language, unconventional in grammar and usage.
Wish Fit up and working under guidance plan
Master C. V. V. thou the great first cause
Please focus full the healing and mending
forces and process of the next direct line on our system
and Fit us up to become and
manifest, safely the true, the beautiful
the eternal,
the immortal, the pure,
merry life
forms on earth.
Every day at
exactly 6.00 in the morning and evening one should do this prayer at least for
fifteen minutes. Close your eyes pronounce the above prayer and just observe
for fifteen minutes, what is going on in your body. You need not try to control
your mind which never obeys you let it wander about just ignore the mind and
its movements.
He suggested
ten years as probation and after that one feels the impact of this yoga which
is called Brikta Rabita Taraka Raja yoga which is otherwise known as Satya
Yoga.
One important
aspect of this yoga was how master tried and conquered the movements and
effects of all the nine planets and their impact on human life. He could
influence the behaviour of the planets in the sense that they would help and
cooperate with humanity.
Among all the
planets, Venus (Sukra) did not like to come under his plan of action for quite
some time. But Master ultimately brought him under his control. Venus signifies
Mrita Sanjeevini and the aim of this yoga is to acquire and distribute the same
to humanity.
While
practicing this Yoga, Master C.V.V. attempted to cure the physical and mental
ailments of those who approached him and this was known as ‘treatment’. Treatment
was a bye product of this Yoga and this attracted a number of people to join
and practice this Yoga.
Sankaracharya,
Ramana Maharshi and a few others were contemporaries of Master C.V.V. and they
were in the know of this new spiritual experiment. But they were very discreet
on this subject.
The one great
and unique feature of this Yoga is this. The soul takes different births with
the present body without experiencing the so-called death.
During that time, Ramana Maharshi told
some body, in a different context. “I have taken a new birth. The old horoscope
does not apply to me”. Some of our mediums of Satya Yoga had experienced the
same but they did not say in so many words.
Presently, some literature is available
on this subject and a few journals are being published. There is one important
centre at Piduguralla in Guntur District, which is functioning with authority
and restraint in spreading this Yoga. Every Year December 31st and May 29th and
on August 4th special congregations take place there. Besides, since a few
years, lotus gatherings are being held when hundreds of followers gather and
conduct prayers, so that this promised new era will be in at an early time.
Master gave all the prayers and courses
and day to day instructions in English only, because he knew that only through
this medium, his Yoga would eventually reach the whole world. Master E.K. once
said that English has acquired the status of conveying metaphysical thinking
and acting. Thus English has become the language of Yoga. Long ago Auravindo
said even Gods were learning English in the place of Sanskrit.
