(Collection from official website of Satsang, Soamibag,
Agra)
The basic practice of
Radhasoami faith is Surat Shabd Yoga as
profounded by Soamiji Maharaj
Who has given a complete exposure on this practice in
his work Sar Bachan Bartik and the
“This is to communicate to
the adikaris (deserving persons) the message that the Supreme Being Radhasoami, finding the humanity badly confounded and in great distress, manifested Himself as Sant SatGuru. In His unbounded mercy, He revealed
the mysteries of His own sphere and the mode of attaining it by means of Surat Shabd practice.
the mysteries of His own sphere and the mode of attaining it by means of Surat Shabd practice.
It behoves Jivas to develop
love in His Holy Feet.
By the performance of this
practice, mind will get subdued. There is no otherway in this Kali Yuga for purifying and quieting the mind
and raising it to higher regions. The goals of all the religions, prevalent in this world, reach up to the first or at the most the second stage of Sants. If the Abhyas of Surat Shabd Yoga is performed methodically, the mind and spirit will be purified, and , catching hold of Shabd, will ascend to celestial regions, represented in human microcosm. Leaving Pind, the region of nine orifices, they will reach Brahmand, i.e., Trikuti. There the spirit will part company with the mind, and proceed further. Experiencing the bliss of Sunn and Maha-sunn, the spirit will have darshan of Sat Purush in Sat Lok, of Alakh Purush in Alakh Lok, and of Agam Purush in
Agam Lok. Finally, it will reach the Nij Dham of RADHASOAMI. it was from this
place that the spirit originally descended. It got entangled in the snares of Kal, laid out in
A practitioner of Surat Shabd Yoga will pass through;
Vishnu Lok Shiv Lok, Brahama ka Lok,
Shakti Lok, Ram Lok, Brahm Pad, Nirvan Pad of Jains,
the region of Lord God of the Bible and the
regions of Malkoot, Jabroot and Lahoot of Mohammedans, all situated below Sunn. Experiencing
the bliss of these regions, the spirit will enter into its Nij Desh (Original Home) by the grace of
Sants. “ --- from Sar Bachan Bartik

Radhasoami, the anahata Nad is the word to be repeated in shabda-based yoga to be connected to the almighty;so far I know it is the main core of sadhna in sant mat. Is this true that Kabirji and even before him, this was in practice and attracted elevated people from every way of worshipping in search of highest attainment?
ReplyDeleteWe need to explore the history of progression of this sadhan path.ways are few:
1. Exploring existence of this in ancient and medieval scriptures (as this is for all irrespective of religion, I believe hints may be obtained in scriptures of many religion).
2. Sree Sree Thakur Anukulchandra advised disciples to chant it without creating sound (earlier it was chanted repeatedly as audible sound).He discussed traits of anahata nad, and how it can be more effective in subsonic chant.He gave the concept of this BIJ as generator of power within our states of existence.Is there any scientist looking into variations of impact of its subsonic practice to bring out a standard operating protocol which ritwiks would be able to train the interested during initiation?
3.Shandilya University should be able to show world the path of sound-based energy creation and utilisation. I think our BIJ has clues for it.
4. However adjusting one's intelligence to his/her emotional attachment to Sadguru would ensure its realization for benefit of the mankind.
Would anyone enlighten us on any of these aspects?

But in Sant mat, be it Kabir or Radhasoami community, there is absolute rejection of Varnashrama system, but why Shri Anukulchandra preached it with so vigorous enthusiasm, giving so much importance to Manussmriti?
