WORKSHOP

Gonga and Tara have recently returned to America from India for the first time in four years.  Over the next four months, they will travel the length and breadth of America, sharing their presentation in thirty states, fifty cities and at over one hundred events.  After touring America, they will go to London, Amsterdam, Cologne, Zurich, Munich, Vienna and Prague.  The response to their presentation has been overwhelming.  Many people say it was a life-changing experience.  

Gonga and Tara will be sharing a multimedia presentation that is the culmination of their combined eighty years on the spiritual path.  The evening will include a meditation, a yogic exercise, and empowerments with sacred substances that they have brought back from India. 

During the past four years in India, Gonga and Tara researched the lives of great Indian Saints and Siddhas.  These rare individuals live on the cutting edge of human evolution.  Many of them have attained amazing abilities as well as tremendous longevity, some of them living well over 150 years.  They possess knowledge of the human body and alchemy that modern science and medicine have not yet discovered.

Gonga and Tara will be sharing many amazing stories about great Siddha Saints that they met who have reached very advanced spiritual states. The presentation will include photos from the recent Kumbha Mela in Haridwar India and video of a Mahasiddha they know in India who has reached a state of spiritual evolution where he has not eaten or drunk anything in seven years.

They will be presenting a totally universal spiritual approach that is non-sectarian, non-dogmatic and not limited to any one teacher or spiritual path.  It is for everyone, no matter what their religion or spiritual path.  It is the universal essential truth behind all religions and the source of all spiritual paths.

The presentation is free, but voluntary donations are heartfully accepted in order to bring the knowledge of the Siddhas to westerners.*

You will be very happy you attended so bring your friends.  The presentation has been receiving rave reviews.  

* The admission fee covers RAHM's expenses only.  RAHM strongly endorses donations to support Gonga and Tara's mission!  You can also make a donation at this link:  http://www.universalfellowshipoflight.org/donations.php

Overview

Siddhas are humans who have attained perfection, or perfection of consciousness.  They achieved the pinnacle of human development.  There is an urgent need for us to understand the Siddhas because they demonstrate to us what human beings are capable of becoming.  

Modern psychologists say that most humans are using only 5-10% of their full mental potential. The human race is functioning with a drastically sub-normal operating system.  The Siddhas, on the other hand, optimized their operating system and by doing so activated latent abilities of which all humans are capable.  These latent abilities are called "siddhis" or supernormal powers.  

Actually they are not supernormal. They are really the birthright of every human being. Developing the siddhis, or supernormal powers, is not the goal.  The goal is Enlightenment or Self-Realization.  The siddhis are attained along the way to Enlightenment and are signposts that indicate levels of attainment and mastery.  

It is our belief that westerners have only began to scratch the surface of the spiritual treasures that India possesses.  India is the keeper of the knowledge of spiritual evolution for the entire world.  While yoga has proliferated in the west, the coming years will see a deepening of westerners' understanding of the inner depths of spiritual development.  

We are living in a truly exciting time when the modern advances of science and technology will come together with the ancient wisdom of development of consciousness to create a golden age for mankind.

Don't be discouraged if your spiritual practice has flattened and don't be dismayed by the changes that are taking place in the world.  The old is passing away and a new dawn is coming.  We are happy to share with all of you exciting and inspiring news so that we all can be co-creators of the coming Golden Age.

Importance of the Yogic Tradition of Indian Siddhas

While the teachings of Jesus have flourished over the last 2,000 years, we have not witnessed up until now any significant number of people performing miracles like those associated with the life of Jesus.

Yet, those very same miracles have been performed by numerous saints in India for thousands of years both before and after Jesus.  These miracles, known in India as siddhis (supernormal powers), while not the goal of spiritual development, are the by-product of a degree of attainment as a Siddha, or perfected being.

The Siddhas of India were not rigid adherents to orthodox Hinduism.  They were the open-minded spiritual rebels of their times who pursued mystical union with God while rejecting sectarianism, ritualism, superstition and the caste system.  They were also known as master healers who were experts in the use of herbs to promote health and longevity.

The Siddhas believed that everyone, irrespective of their social position, had the ability and right to experience God directly without dependence on intermediaries.  

Because of this open-minded and egalitarian approach to spirituality, the Siddhas were often persecuted by the orthodox Hindu establishment whose control of the masses was threatened.  In much the same way, great Sufi Masters were persecuted and even put to death by orthodox Muslims for proclaiming their oneness with God, the Siddhas were derided by Hindu priests and falsehoods were spread to defame them.

The result of this persecution and misrepresentation of the true teachings of the Siddhas is that their immense contribution to the spiritual advancement of humanity has been marginalized and nearly lost until today.

Ancient Wisdom - The Solution to Modern Problems

The wisdom of the Siddhas is not something that is archaic, antiquated or out of touch with the modern world.  A few years ago, Professor Stephen Hawking issued an invitation over the internet for people around the world to offer their suggestions as to how the human race can survive the next hundred years.

The importance of the Siddhas is that they demonstrate to us what humanity is capable of becoming.  By attaining their full potential and unfolding the innate abilities latent in us all, they show us what we all can be, individuals of unlimited love, creativity and wisdom, and that is the master key to solving our problems.

Perhaps, Paramahansa Yogananda saw that a time was approaching when humanity would be ready for the advanced yogic techniques of God-Realization that Jesus and the Siddha's practiced.  And perhaps we are at a new point in humanity's spiritual evolution when the time has come to prove correct Jesus' prediction that the least among us will perform greater miracles than those that he demonstrated.  After all, he spoke the truth.  Why shouldn't we believe him and fulfill our destiny as divine souls?
