Meditation techniques (ध्यान तंत्र): VBT5 (विज्ञान भैरव तंत्र ५)

Every month I will be sharing one technique of meditation. There will be original Sanskrut text, and English / Marathi commentary on the technique. I expect reader should not take it as just a piece of information but practice the technique that suits him/her for at least one month to further the spiritual quest.

विज्ञान भैरव तंत्र    

Vidnyan Bhairav Tantra

श्री देव्युवाच
श्रुतं देव मया सर्वं रुद्रयामलसम्भवम् |
त्रिकभेदमशेषेण सारात्सारविभागशः ||

अद्यपि न निवृत्तो मे संशय: परमेश्वर |
किं रुपं तत्वतो देव शब्दराशिकलामयम् ||

किं वा नवात्मभेदेन भैरवे भैरवाकृतौ |
त्रिशिरोभेदभिन्नं वा किं वा शक्तित्रयात्मकम् ||

नादबिन्दुमयं वापि किं चंद्रार्धनिरोधिका: |
चक्रारुढमनच्कं वा किं वा शक्तिस्वरुपकम् ||

परापराया: सकलम् अपरायाश्च वा पुनः |
पराया यदि तद्वत्स्यात् परत्वं तद्विरुध्यते ||

नहि वर्ण विभेदेन देहभेदेन वा भवेत् |
परत्वंनिष्कलत्वेनसकलत्वे न तदभवेत् ||

प्रसादं कुरु मे नाथ नि:शेषं छिन्धि संशयम् |


भैरव उवाच
साधु साधु त्वया पृष्टं तन्त्रसारमिदं प्रिये |

गूहनीयतमं भद्रे तथापि कथयामि ते |
यत्किञ्चित्सकलं रुपं भैरवस्य प्रकीर्तितम् ||

देवीने विचारले...

हे शिवा! तुझे खरे स्वरुप काय आहे?

हे अचंबित करणारे जगत काय आहे?

बीजाचे मूलतत्व काय आहे?

संसाररुपी चक्राच्या केंद्रस्थानी काय आहे?

नामरुपांच्या पलिकडे काय आहे?

नामरुपातीत अमृतत्वाची प्राप्ती शक्य आहे का?

कृपया माझे शंकानिरसन करा...


शिवाने उत्तरादाखल ११२ ध्यानतंत्रे सांगितली. ज्ञात-अज्ञात विश्वातील सर्व पंथसंप्रदाय,ज्ञानमार्ग यातील एक अथवा अधिक तंत्र पद्धतीद्वारा उत्पन्न झाले. भूतवर्तमान तसेच भविष्य काळातील तत्त्ववेत्तेप्रेषित यातील एक अथवा अधिक तंत्रपद्धतीचे फलस्वरुप आहेत.

 Devi Asks:

O Shiva, what is your reality?
What is this wonder-filled universe?
What constitutes seed?
Who centres the universal wheel?
What is this life beyond form pervading forms?
How may we enter it full, above space and time, names and descriptions?
Let my doubts be cleared!

Now Shiva replies and describes 112 meditation techniques.  All the religions of the world, all the seers of the world, have reached the peak through some technique or other, and all those techniques will be in these one hundred and twelve techniques.

तंत्र ५
आ मूलात्किरणाभासां सूक्ष्मात् सूक्ष्मतरत्मिकाम् |
चिन्तयेत्तां द्विषट्कान्ते शाम्यन्तीं भैरवोदयः ||
Concentrate on the shakti arising from the root like the rays of the sun, gradually becoming subtler and subtler, until at last she dissolves in the dwadashanta and bhairava manifests.

Attention between eyebrows opens the third eye…
(Kundalini jagaran dharana)
 Physiologically most mysterious part in the body is pineal gland which is situated between two ordinary eyes. This gland is termed as shivnetra or third eye. Naturally it is non functional, closed during entire life span, you have to do consciously something to open it. As this gland has magnetic properties it is the easiest part of the body for concentration. Not only you are trying to concentrate but also the gland is helping for you efforts. Once you reach the right spot then you will become witness to thoughts with which you are ordinarily identified and could not witness it objectively. Once fix in third eye, you could see thoughts like clouds running in sky or people moving on street. You can look at your emotions with detachment and they can no more empower you. Witnessing and centering in third eye is two way process. If you master one, second follows automatically. Also when you fixed at third eye, you will experience the non material part of the air. Air is mere container and not the content. The élan vital or prana flows through the air but modern science is still unaware about it. Once you are aware about it, then the container is not needed and you can suck it from anywhere even in airtight rooms, that is how people use to go into the Samadhi. There is no difference between imagination and reality once you are focused at third eye. Hence insistence is on purity of mind. It is not mere moral concept. Ordinarily your imagination is impotent which becomes potent once you are fixed in third eye. When you are aware of breath essence then imagine that the sahsrar is filled with this prana. It will shower on you as light and you will be reborn. This is your inner rebirth.

श्वासातील प्राणाच्या अनुभूतीतून तॄतीय नेत्राचे उद्दीपन...
शिवनेत्र किंवा तॄतीय नेत्र भुवईच्या मध्यभागी स्थित, नैसर्गिकरित्या निष्क्रिय. प्रयत्नपूर्वक सक्रियता शक्य. तॄतीय नेत्राशी चित्ताची एकाग्रता सहज शक्य. जेव्हा सामान्य नेत्र तॄतीय नेत्रात स्थित तेव्हा भावनांकडे, विचारांकडे तटस्थतेने बघणे शक्य. या तटस्थतेतून तॄतीय नेत्रात प्राणरुपी तरल शक्तीलहरींची अनुभूती. प्राणाच्या अनुभूतीनंतर हवारुपी वाहकाची गरज नाही. तॄतीय नेत्राच्या उद्दीपनानंतर कल्पना सक्रीय. केवळ कल्पनेद्वारा व्यवहार शक्य कारण सत्यता हीच कल्पना आणी कल्पना हीच सत्यता. योगायोग हे केवळ तॄतीय नेत्राच्या सक्रीयतेतून. यासाठी साधनेपूर्वी मनाची शुचिता आवश्यक.

तंत्र ४
कुम्भिता रेचिता वापि पूरिता या यदा भवेत् |
तदन्ते शान्तनामासौ शक्त्या शान्तः प्रकाशते ||
When kumbhaka takes place after pooraka or rechaka, then the shakti known as shanta is experienced and through that peace (the bhairava consciousness) is revealed.

In universal pause of breath in or out one’s small ego vanishes…
(Kumbhaka dharana)
Desiring mind is impure mind which cannot experience pause between the breaths. But in emergencies (e.g. accident or unexpected situation) your breath stops automatically. In such situation you can experience this subtle pause. During this pause, the ego is forgotten as it is useful only for daily utilities not for emergencies. Zen methods are designed to create such emergencies because with cause, pause cannot be created. When you cannot understand causality, mind stops and when mind stops, breathing stops. This is a two way process. Ayurveda measures life not in years but in breaths. If you stop breathing then you will not able to think. This pause has to be created for impure, desiring mind but for pure mind the pause is always here. When you are high on emotions your breath moves fast. In pure mind there is no desire, no motivation, not going anywhere hence breath stops automatically as there is no need of regular breath. In this pause the small self vanishes and you attain the higher self or supreme self.

वासनारहित मनाद्वारे दीर्घ आणि सह्ज श्वास विराम...
अहंकाराची गरज केवळ दैनंदिन व्यवहारासाठी. आणीबाणीच्या प्रसंगी 'स्व' चा विसर, नैसर्गिक श्वास विराम. मनाचे कार्य सदैव श्वाससहित. श्वासरहित अवस्थेत मनाचे अस्तित्व नाही. विकारशील मनासाठी गतीमान श्वास आवश्यक. जेव्हा मन विकारशून्य तेव्हा श्वास विरामाची अनुभूती. मनाची शूचिता मनातील वासनांशी निगडीत. वासना सर्व प्रेरणांचे मूलकारण. वासनाक्षयामूळे श्वास अनावश्यक. त्यातून दीर्घ व सहज श्वास विराम. श्वासविरामाद्वारे अहंकारशून्यता आणी त्याद्वारा आत्मानुभूती.
