Students arrived to Penukonda from around the globe to participate in the intensive five day Shivaratri program in February. During the program, Swami seemed to be everywhere in the ashram, working with groups in processes, giving experiences, special pujas, interviews, and teachings from early morning until late into night.
The main process was receiving the transmission from the Ala Hala Lingam, Shiva’s soul object. It was in 2007 that Swami first shared with the world the powerful Shiva blessings through this holy object. This year, on Shiva Ratri night, everyone personally received an abhishek (holy bath) to release the Lingam’s divine energy into their soul. A water pipeline had been specially created so water could pour down from the roof of the Dwarkamai onto each person as they walked under it. Swami personally directed each person, one by one, under the waterfall as thousands of lotus flowers were offered to Shiva. There was so much joy, exhilaration and laughter as Swami moved each person to rush under the gushing water, coming out drenched and purified. “What a day,” Swami said. “What a day! Unbelievable purification. Unbelievable transmission. One million percent the Shiva cosmic energy is there.”
After releasing the high Shiva energy to the world, a new power object was activated, the Suvarna Lingam. The Suvarna Lingam (in Sanskrit/Telugu ‘suvarna’ means ‘gold’) has a special connection to the student kingdom. In 2006, a group of men from the Soul University chiseled a large stone round the clock for three weeks creating its final shape. Then the Suvarna Lingam sat under water continuously for almost two years cared for 24 hours a day by the students. The Suvarna Lingam will soon be permanently installed and covered in gold at the ashram. Swami said it was 90% equal to the Ala Hala Lingam and will bless the planet for thousands of years to come. He said the students were very connected to the holy object and its energy would be always help them. “That Shiva Lingam is yours,” Swami said. “That power is yours. You can receive help whenever you need it just thinking of your Gurustan.”
During the program, Swami also released new teachings and processes using the Kala Chakra and Kama Chakra. When teaching about the Kala Chakra he said, “You don’t need to do sadhana (spiritual practice) for ten, fifteen years. You can make it shorter through the Kala Chakra. Say you have seventy years life span, you can make it like seven days to seven hours, seven hours to seven minutes. Seven minutes—I am very serious. This information one day will supernaturally change the whole globe.”
Through the Kala Chakra process Swami is speeding up the student kingdom’s soul development in an astounding way. “What will happen in thirty years, what you’re going to learn—the wisdom and the energy soul capacity—will come very fast.” Then to lift everyone even more, Swami transferred his soul’s austerities energy while giving shaktipat to everyone during a final meditation under the beautiful Penukonda night sky.
