Life for God/Babaji’s Mahakranti — The Great Spiritual Revolution Babaji’s Mahakranti — The Great Spiritual RevolutionVladimir Antonov This term was first heard by people from the Avatar Babaji from Indian Haidakhan. Babaji — in His penultimate Divine Incarnation — was described by His Disciple Yogananda [43]. The last time, Babaji lived in the body on the Earth from 1970 to 1984, not having been born by a woman, but He had appeared among incarnate people right away in an adult body [9,17,42]. Embodied the latter time, Babaji left His laconic and capacious Teachings to people [17]. In particular, Babaji declared that He begins the Mahakranti on the Earth — a sequence of radical spiritual transformations, the goal of which is to dedicate all the people of the planet to true spiritual Knowledge, not distorted by sectarianism and other forms of human ignorance. He called this Knowledge, sent directly from God, as Sanathana Dharma — the Eternal Divine Law. The Divine Teachings in this form were borne to people in antiquity by Thoth-the-Atlantean (Hermes Trismegistus), Huang Di, Lao Tse, Pythagoras, Krishna, Jesus Christ, Gautama Buddha, and other Divine Teachers — the true Representatives of the Creator. And in contemporary history — besides Babaji — Sathya Sai Baba did the same. (For more details, see [17]). Sanathana Dharma is not at all what most people mean by religiosity; it is not the worship to statues, icons, and other objects, not the commission of various “religious” gestures and participation in rituals, not the recitation of prayers or the proclamation of mantras. But — a real spiritual transformation of each person starts with ethical cleansing and cultivation of the missing positive qualities, then — the active development of oneself (as the soul, consciousness) according to the criteria of subtling and direct quantitative growth. This is what God wants from us! But many people cannot realize this because they have lost the Knowledge of what exactly is God, about the Evolution of the Universal Consciousness and the place of each of us in this Process. But only on the basis of this Knowledge it is possible to seriously understand the meaning of our lives and how to implement it! A full understanding of the purpose and methods of spiritual efforts allows each one, who achieves success on the spiritual Path, to directly cognize God in His different Manifestations, to find God for oneself — as one’s own very real and clearly perceived Supreme Teacher. Further, spiritual practices within the framework of Raja Yoga and Buddhi Yoga — under the guidance of God — help to achieve the spiritual Perfection and then merge with the Primordial Consciousness (i.e., the Creator, God-the-Father, Allah, Tao; with these and other names people of different regions of the Earth call One for the whole universe God). This is how — in the long run — we realize the meaning of our lives, that is, why we were created by our Creator and settled by Him for development into material bodies on the planet Earth. And all this was conceived and created, in order that we, having developed to the Perfection and merging into Him, enrich Him with ourselves [17-20]. Babaji proposed a formula for spiritual perfecting from five points: Truth — Simplicity — Love — Karma Yoga (the Service to God, manifesting, first of all, in spiritual help to people) — Destruction of “lower i” for the sake of merging with the “I” of God. How can this not be like the naive and false claims that we “will be saved” (from hell) thanks only to prayers and rituals!… … As in other cases of the Incarnations of the Avatars (Messiahs), not all people surrounding Babaji, brought up in an atheistic or sectarian environment, were able to understand the words of this Divine Teacher. Even the very setting of the Mahakranti theme — turned out to be exorbitant for their minds! Those people wanted only “blessings” from the Teacher — and for them they were ready to walk behind Him, sit around Him, touch His feet and clothes… Others at all remained adherents of narcotics… Babaji repeatedly tried to get rid of such “followers”, expelled them from His ashram, jokingly threatened them: I will let Mahakranti upon you!… Only for very few — of those who came to Him in His Indian ashram — He really managed to help to become better. But He worked not only with those who were by their bodies next to His body. In those years, He began to form His Center in Russia, in St. Petersburg. I talked about this in detail in [12-13]: — about how — under the guidance of Babaji, Jesus, Sathya Sai Baba, Huang Di, and many other Divine Teachers — successive stages of the methods of spiritual growth were built, — about how new disciples came, — about how those, whose intellectual capabilities at a given stage of their development were limited, departed, — about how, at the end, it was possible to form a new branch of precisely modern science — the methodology of spiritual development… … As always in such situations, our hearth of spiritual knowledge was subjected to vicious attacks of primitive people [12-13]… Who are they? They can be divided into two groups: 1. Atheists, whom even thoughts about the existence of God and their responsibility before Him for their actions, interfere to calmly disgrace. 2. Fans of pseudo-religious sects, where a “saving” lie is preached and the Truth is declared as the “machinations of devil”… Leaders of such sects usually are zealous in “defense” from the Truth: because they “feed” from their deceived followers… … But an intellectually well person must understand that God does not need us to bow, prostrations, and other bodily movements! God needs us to become better by cultivating the souls in accordance with His Teachings! … Ritualism can only give a small benefit to beginners in religion: it accustoms to believe in the existence of God. But it does not possess even any slightest “salvation”. At the stage of ritual religiosity, reasonable people, if they stay here, — it will not last long. They quickly orient themselves, redirect their attention: from their former priests — to God and are looking for ways to cognize Him, drawing nearer to Him, first of all, by the quality of souls. And then God leads them to His Abode. … The whole spiritual Path can be presented, in addition to what Babaji said, in the form of three great steps: 1. Studies and acceptance of knowledge about God and the Path to Him, practical mastering of His “ethical code” — i.e., a set of commandments about the improvement of ourselves. 2. Mastering the techniques of psychic self-regulation and further developing oneself as a spiritual heart. 3. Mastering direct personal relationships with God that culminates with Mergence with Him. … We have managed — under the guidance of God — to learn and describe in our books, films, and other materials the entire Path. We were led by Babaji, Sathya Sai Baba, Jesus, Huang Di, Lao Tse, Gautama Buddha, and other Divine Teachers. And every person has the opportunity to join this process by participating in this activity with God! Join! Study together with your friends relevant literature and films, master the techniques of the improvement! Also, there is an opportunity to make an important contribution to this matter — through the wide dissemination of this information in all countries of our planet. Let us realize that many people from different countries commit crimes: — because of self-interest, — because of their uncontrollable aggressiveness, — because of false ethnic traditions, — because of false ethical guidelines imposed by religious pseudo-shepherds… Violence of some people over others, hatred and the desire to kill take possession of large parts of the population of entire countries… People are killed — because of another colour of skin, another nationality, other religious views, or because they live on another street or were born in another country… And how many people are finishing given to them by God lives — through suicide!… There is a huge number of those who voluntarily give themselves to the power of narcotics, and the number of such people increases year by year… And how many people get sick, die and degrade spiritually because of refusing to follow God’s recommended dietary pattern… All this could not have happened, if people knew why they live on the Earth!… Let’s try to help them! And once again, I will remind: God is personally interested in the right development of each human being! And if we love Him (or at least intend to fall in love), let us take part in His work! Our efforts for spiritual help to people of our planet — this could become the highest form of Service to Him! Good luck to all you!
