We often hear the expression "the word of God." But what is "the word"? Grammatically, it is a combination of letters having a definite meaning, while spiritually, it means sound of Om. The Sanskrit term Sabda means "Sound" as well as "Word". Now the question is: What are the letters that constitute the "Word," or "Sound"?
Letters in Sanskrit mean Akshara (A, "no", kshara, "decaying"), which means "Eternity." In fact, each letter of Akshara means "Eternity."
Each letter of Akshara vibrates the Rhythms of pure consciousness, or eternity, through the atoms of inner light and inner sound, which are produced from the Rhythms (Chhanda) of the Sanskrit language.
To ordinary people, Sanskrit is an ancient Indian language. The word "Sanskrit" is the English word for Samaskrita. Literally, Samaskrit, consists of two words: Sama, meaning "equilibrium," and krit meaning "done." So, Samaskrita, or Sanskrit, spiritually means "the state of equilibrium consciousness." In other words, Sanskrit vibrates the eternal tranquility which is free from all disturbances.
So the Aksharas, that is, vibrations of Eternity, the Rhythms of pure consciousness, constitute the word, or sound of Om; and the atoms of inner light and inner sound carry them, or reflect them, through printed letters and words.
If we are to realize anything, we have to perceive the Rhythms of pure consciousness through the rates, vibrations, and atoms of inner light and sound. Only then, can we bypass the trap of concepts, meanings, thought and intellect, which are definitely obstacles to inner realization.
That is why the personal relationship (Guru-Param-Para) became a tradition among the realized sages of the past and was prescribed by the Holy Scriptures in the Upanisad.
If we scan the word Upanisad, we see that Upa means "sitting" and nisad means "near." Thus, the very word Upanisad specifics personal relationship. In ancient time, the disciples sat near the Guru to learn their discipline and realize the supreme self, and some of these teachings were recorded by learned and realized disciples, who presented them in the form of holy books called Upanisads.
Lahiri Mahasay made commentaries on the Upanisads in the light of Kriya, especially from the vibrational point of view. He scanned the letters, or Aksharas, of each Word or sound and related them and their rates of Rhythms of pure consciousness in the light of Kriya. This is the unique contribution of Lahiri Mahasay to the world of scriptures. These Upanisadas have remained obscure to many seekers of Truth.
The Tejabindu Upanisad is one typical example of Lahiri Mahasay's unipue contribution of scanning the words into letters (Akshara) while rendering the Kriya perspective and context, which represent the rates, Rhythms and Vibrations of Teja (the mystic energy) from within.
The Tejabindu Upanisad, though a tiny book, is an important Upanisad to many seekers. The author adds notes either in brackets or italics and annotates the difficult portions, which the seekers may find helpful.
Most of these valuable materials were kept secret since 1891, published only in the Sankrit and Bengali languages first due to orthodox feeling and later due to the evil intentions of organizations which purposely kept them away from the seekers to Truth for fear they would threaten their vested interests and security.
(It should be noted her that the great master and father of Kriya himself had specifically emphasized that organizations must not grow up around the Kriya teachings which were to be passed down solely through the sacred Master- disciple relationship, Guru-param- Para).
At the instructions of Mahamuni Babaji, the divine Guru of Lahiri Mahasay, the author now for the first time unlocks these valuable materials to the world community and to the seekers of Truth.
