1. How would you explain the Oneness Blessing to someone who's never heard of the Oneness Blessing? Who is AmmaBhagavan and what is the Oneness Blessing?

The oneness blessing is the divine trying to reach out to man. Through the blessing, the divine sometimes need an intermediary to reach out to the people. So the one who has become initiated becomes awakened and the divine operates through them. Sometime the blessing giver cannot fully be aware of what is happening. So in short this divine energy is flowing through an individual to another individual and that is the blessing. One has to really experience it to fully understand it. We can only give this kind of simple information of course. There are more complicated information, we have to speak some more and I think time will not permit that. 

The other part of the question is about Amma Bhagavan. AmmaBhagavan basically helps you to get initiated. To really know AmmaBhagavan and understand AmmaBhagavan, you have got to be awakened. Unless you are awakened, there is no way you can understand who AmmaBhagavan actually is. So that is the answer to the 2nd part of the question.

The Oneness blessing is the divine trying to get closer to man. It's a force whereby energies are flowing towards man...which we call the descent of divine and man also ascends towards higher realms of consciousness. And that's what the blessing actually does...it brings man and the divine very close. 

You can also say that it is like harnessing the divine to solve our own practical problems like solar energy. Similarly people can harness the oneness energy to solve their problems. Now if the blessing is properly given and the karmic obstacles are removed, there are virtually no problems within the oneness blessing givers at all. There are tribes in India where they do not need a medical doctor at all. They merely use the blessing to solve all their ailments. There are groups of people like that. It could be used to solve financial problems to uplift your business. It could be used on the worldly level. It could also be used on the spiritual level to move your conscious level so you could become awakened. It could be made use of for any purpose. The only thing is you have to know how to make use of it. What is not known in the west is to discover the karmic blocks and ... we are still trying to find ways to educate the west and to deal with that aspect of the problem. 


2. Does the Oneness Blessing only help us in this lifetime or subsequent life times as well? Can it help us experience who we really are? Can it help take us out of the cycle of birth and death? 

The deeksha does all this. The deeksha can virtually do anything that you want. See it's more like this, assume you got a television set there and a DVD player and you got a plug point where you can draw power. Now you can insert any DVD into the DVD player, it could be the teachings of Christ, or the teachings of Buddha or the teachings of Maraharishii or anybody's teaching you can insert into the DVD player and you just plug into the plug and draw power. That is the deeksha and on the television screen you get the audio and the video, you get the experience you get the transformation, so it does not matter what you want. It's up to you to decide. 

What kind of experience you want. Whether you want an awakened experience or a god realization or whether you want to go into your past life. It's much simpler to look at your past life with deeksha than in your normal regression which you come across. It's far more powerful and far more realistic and you can exactly pinpoint the problem. So it could be used for any purpose, if you have a financial problem you can track down what the problem is. Whether you have a problem from past life or at the point of conception, what happened at your birth, a caesarian birth...all this it can track down. It's also whatever we want to achieve spiritually. 

So the deeksha is for every purpose. It is the divine energy moving into you, it has its own intelligence and it can get things done. So whether you want to continue to your past lives to see what happens, everything is possible. So you cannot say it is not possible with deeksha. Anything and everything is possible. It depends upon your passion and what you want. Just plug into deeksha and everything becomes a reality for you. It could be any teaching. That's why we say in Oneness it's like sugar you can add it to anything. You can use it with a Christian teaching, an Islamic teaching or a Buddhist teaching or a Hindu teaching, that is up to you. The deeksha is merely plugging into the power supply that's all. 

3. What will happen if we don't accomplish our goal of raising the consciousness of 64,000 by 2012? What will that mean for the world? Do people from other movements count towards this goal?

2012 is a phenomenon it's not that only oneness is involved in it. There are lots of other movements who are also involved to bring about 2012 as well as lots of individuals. In fact I have met them from many parts of the world and the strangest thing is all of them were started in 1989. So actually it's a 23 year period 89 to 2012. 2012 in fact does not mean any particular year as such. It actually represents the phenomenon of 2012 ranging from a period of 23 years 89 to 2012. Many wonderful things have happened in the last 20 years are so, as well as many terrible things have happened. So we are in the midst of 2012, in India we understand this as the dying of the old and the birth of the new, the old age is supposed to be fading away and the new age is taking birth and both are happening concurrently. We also call it a twilight zone. Like sunrise and sunset...we have the twilight zone. 

Now assume all of us put together we fail, then what could happen is we could move towards an ultimate disaster and the missing out of a great opportunity but in case we succeed, it would mean that humanity would move into another dimension, where we could say it would be heaven on earth, now what that means is not that the physical world is going to change, but the way that you are going to perceive things is going to definitely change. So heaven is only in the way you perceive things not in the actual reality. So this change in perception is what we call the oneness age but as a result of that there will be lot of physical realignment and physical changes which we could call the golden age. 

So this is a great opportunity for mankind, to leap into the next age. And as of now we cannot be very sure if this is going to happen nor can we say it is not going to happen. I would say yes maybe not, so we have to wait and see, but that doesn't mean we keep quiet. We should put our best foot forward and do all that we possibly can do. So right now my feeling is we have survived many problems and attacks through the last 20 years or so. Hopefully we can help others. Of course the other movements can help also. Some of the movements have already faded out because they could not withstand the attacks launched against them. We have the energy to survive let's focus on the best. 

So that is the answer to the 3rd question, can we do a longer meditation...maybe 5 or 6 minutes.
