For the good of the Great Cause I am now going to transcribe in the present chapter two extraordinary accounts by the Sri Swami Sinavanda:
YOGI BHUSUNDA
“Yogi Bhusunda is considered amongst yogis, to be a Chiranjivi. He was a master in the science of Pranayama. It is said that this Yogi constructed an enormous shelter, where he lived, on the West side of Kalpa Vriksha which is situated on the Northern summit of Mahamera. This Yogi was Trikala Jnani and could remain in a state of Samadhi for a long time. He obtained the supreme Santi and Jinana and in this state he enjoyed the happiness of his own BEING, ever as a Chiranjivi.
He had full knowledge of the five Dharanas and had given proof of his power over the five elements through the practice of concentration.
It is said that when the twelve Adytyas burnt the world with their resplendent rays, this yogi could reach the Akasa through his Apas Dharana. When the ferocious gale blows until rocks break into pieces, he will remain in the Akasa by means of the Agni Dharana. Further more, when the world as well as the Mahamera sink in the waters, he will float through the Vayu Dharana.”
This far is the marvellous account of the Sri Swami Sivananda. Of course the Yogi Bhusunda had to intensively practise the Ritual PANCATATWA.
Now, let us take a thorough look at the second account of the Guru- Deva Sivananda:
MILAREPA
“Milarepa was one of those souls who was deeply affected upon comprehending the temporary nature of worldly existence and the suffering and misery in which beings are immersed. From this point of view it seemed to him, that existence was the same as a huge bonfire wherein living creatures were consumed.
In view of such disconcerting pain, in his heart he felt unable to perceive some of the celestial happiness enjoyed by Brahma and Indra in the heavens. Much less could he feel earthly joy and the delights characteristic of the profane world.
On the other hand, he felt profoundly captivated by the vision of immaculate purity and chaste beatitude described in the state of perfect Liberty and attainable Omniscience in Nirvana. This feeling was such that he was unable to waste his life looking for that which he had long before rejected, and he dedicated himself, full of faith, profound of mind and overflowing of heart, to All-penetrating Love and the affection of all creatures.
Having obtained transcendental knowledge about the control of the etheric and spiritual nature of the mind, he felt capable of giving a demonstration, to this effect he could fly through the sky, walk and rest in the air.
He was able to produce flames and bring forth waters from his body. He could transform himself into any object that he desired. These demonstrations were capable of convincing non-believers and turning them toward religious paths.
Milarepa became perfect in the practice of the four states of Meditation and through them he could project his subtle body to the extent of simultaneously presiding at Yogi Councils in twenty four different places in which the celebratory assemblies of Gods and Angels resembled clouds of spiritual communion.
He was able to rule over Gods and elementals, putting them at his immediate command in the fulfilment of their duties.
A perfect Adept of supernatural tatwic powers, he had the gift to pass through and visit innumerable sacred paradises and Buddhas’ heavens, where by virtue of his All-absorbing acts and unsurpassed devotion, Buddhas and Boddhisatvas being in charge of those sacred places, favoured him in expressing himself about DHARMA, sanctifying him on his return for the vision of those celestial worlds and his remaining in such places.”
