Acharya Shri Sadguru

Swatantradeo ji Maharaj

Maharshi Sadguru Sadafaldeo ji Maharaj

laid the founda on of Vihangam Yoga
Medita on in the year 1924 a er 17 years of
strenuous seeking and prac ce. He
discovered not only the Asana for body but
for the mind as well as the soul. He
mastered the art of discarding the body at
will and u lized the power of soul to speak
from the sky. He wrote 35 spiritual books of
which Swarved is of utmost importance
and is regarded as encyclopedia of
spirituality. Before discarding His mortal
frame in the year 1954 through a yogic
technique, He passed on all his powers and
wisdom to Sadguru Shri Dharamchandradeo
Ji Maharaj.

Acharya Shri Sadguru Dharamchandradeo ji

Maharaj devoted all his life to the cause of
spreading the divine knowledge of Brahma Vidya
Vihangam Yoga ll His Samadhi, in the year 1969. In
its original form, the Swarved would have remained
too complex for any one to understand the real
import of its highly camouaged and secret verses.
It was Dharmachandradeo Ji Maharaj alone who
had the divine vision and wisdom to bring out the
real message underlying the secret verses. Without
his commentary, the en re mankind would have
remained deprived of the divine light of Brahma
Vidya Vihangam Yoga . Besides commentary of
Swarved, He also wrote ten other spiritual books
covering various aspects of spirituality and human
well-being.

Acharya Shri Sadguru

Swatantradeo ji
Maharaj was born with divinity. At the mere
age of 22, he was able to absorb the
tremendous ow of Sadguru power and
became the next successor a er Sadguru
Dharamchandradeo Ji Maharaj. He is
endowed with twenty divine spiritual
powers. Today, under His holy guidance,
Vihangam Yoga has reached around 35
na ons with hundreds of Ashrams and has
transformed the lives of many. Currently
more than 5 million people belonging to
dierent races, regions, castes and classes
are prac cing Vihangam Yoga Medita on
under His holy guidance.

Physical Yoga (Yogasana and Pranayama)

which we maintain the health. However abnormali es of mind viz. mental stress,

What Is Vihangam Yoga

Meditation?
Vihangam Yoga is medita on based science of consciousness. It
is an ancient medita on technique prac ced by Indian seers and
sages. It is also known as Brahma-Vidya, Madhu-Vidya, Para
Vidya, etc in the Indian ancient most scriptures and Vedas.
"Vihangam" literally means "bird". Just as a bird leaves its base
on the earth to y high in the sky, so does Vihangam Yoga
enable the human Soul (Atma) to cut o its moorings in the
Phenomenal world (Prakri ) and realize its true and free nature
which is full of ever las ng peace, bliss, wisdom and love.

Mind and Its Characteristics

Mind is an inner organ of the body. It is an en ty that has the capability to interact with conscious soul as well as
organs of the body. The severe restlessness in mind is the root of various mental and physical diseases. But when
the mind is at peace, it induces tremendous condence, will power, working eciency as well as elevated
compassion and love. Mind is very restless by its nature and does not s ck long at one subject. It has a limita on. It
cannot work with more than one sensory organ at any point of me. It shues around ve sensory organs jumping
from one subject to the next.

Form

Sound

Experience

Smell
Taste
Touch

Soul

Mind

Being an organ of the body, it has a specic mechanism to work when awake, when dreaming and when in deep
sleep. Mind is one among nineteen elements of the subtle body, and one among four inner organs. Mind is not an
abstract en ty but it is a uni-located en ty of a special type that is neither fully inert nor fully conscious. In
Vihangam Yoga, it is known as an Agantuk Chetan Tatva
Through ve stages of medita on in Vihangam yoga, we nd the answer for

What is mind? (Mind it, it is not the brain J)

How to overcome the abnormali es of mind (Restlessness, depression, etc)
How to improve our mental capabili es?
How to a ain everlas ng peace and joy?

MEDITATION
FOR
MIND
It has a form and a location. Catch it right at its own spot.

Learn Asana for Mind

In Vihangam Yoga Stage 1 medita on, we learn that the mind is a uni-located en ty which can be SEEN in its
agantuk chetan form, when stopped. You can control a uni-located object when its whereabouts is known. The
secret to controlling mind also lies in knowing its place in the body, its form and in knowing how to literally
control THE mind right at its own spot. This special form of medita on is known as Asana for the mind as the
mind comes into complete rest (manonigrah) in the process.
