Immortality

Its easy to say that the meaning of life is God-realization. If we are of God, then God must be our reality. To forget this truth is to be living in a cloud of illusion. God is truly our Source, so we must be able to manifest His Reality since God is our innermost being. We live knowing that we are going to die, but we can't truly die because God can't. Our soul is immortal; why is it that our physical body isn't?

If we were to realize God, we would know of our complete unity with Him. So we are really just like Him! Once we know our spiritual reality through nirvikalpa samadhi, Nirvana, Heaven, or whatever you like to call it, we can manifest this on every level of existence - down to even this physical existence. This is called soruba samadhi: the attainment of physical immortality.

Shiva, the Lord of Yogis

There are eighteen siddhas (perfected beings) from the Tamil civilization of Southern India that have attained physical immortality and have past their teachings unto others. These siddhas seemed to originate from Shiva, the lord of Yogis, who taught Nandi and Agastyar. Nandi taught Boganathar and Patanjali. Boganathar (who was also known as Lao-Tzu) taught the young Mahavatar Babaji, who later learned advanced yoga by Agastyar and became a siddha at 16 years of age. There are more recent people as well, like Ramalinga Swami who have reached soruba samadhi.

All of these people are alive today, either on the physical or astral level. They are secretly working behind the scene towards evolving humankind. They are Existence-Knowledge-Bliss Absolute, and are the essence of Love. Jesus Christ and other spiritual masters have a united will with these siddhas. Mahavatar Babaji has stayed in the physical plane for the benefit of all, and has sent many people out into the world to teach the ancient Kriya Yoga.

These perfected beings are waiting for us to awaken, and will never give up their effort for unconditional love of all. They are omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, and Babaji promises that if you "take one step, i will take ten steps towards you." They are offering everything that they are so we could be the same. Why are we still making the choice of disbelief?
