25. Titus Maharaj

25. Titus Maharaj

When I asked the 120 years of Indian yoga, named Titus Maharaj on the state of Moksha [Moksha - the state of liberation in Hinduism.], He replied: "If Moksha comes to you, tell her: Go away! Go to who you need . Live without dreams. "

Do Maharaja is a small ashram in the Himalayas, two kilometers from Jageshwar, the ancient temple complex in the state of Uttaranchal. Is called the Moksha Dham Ashram. In Sanskrit it means "house of liberation." Titus - Classic Shiva yogi. The major part of his long life he spent in the Himalayan caves and in the holy lake Manasarovar in 30 kilometers from Mount Kailash, on top of which, according to legend, Shiva dwells. My name "Titus", he was under the name of one of the caves where he lived.
Came down from mountains, Maharaj chose a seat near the ancient center of force Jageshwar, on the banks of the river, which flows north. Normally, the river flow from the Indian Himalayas to the south. The first time he lived in a small kute on the crest of a hill above the river, then around, as so often happens in India, grew a small ashram.
Titus Maharaj - an unusual saint. He learned English when he was 110 years old. He has a machine - a small "Marut" in which he wears on mountain roads with magnificent speed. The car he gave one of his devotees. This man told Titus to go to America, where it quickly turned into a millionaire. Returning to their native India, thank a dedicated teacher - has built his ashram and gave the car. Titus looked like around the machine, popinal her feet, smell, pobibikal, then sat down and went, as if all his life say wheel.
During eremitic life of Titus was the favorite tiger cub, about which he cared. When a tiger cub grew up and went to the jungle, hunting his shot Raja. At the same time the king's palace caught fire and burned to ashes. The second house, who built the Raja, was also destroyed by fire. As a result, he and his family were devastated and ending their days in poverty.
Titus was well aware Indian astrology Dzhotisha and helped many people coming to him as the astrologer. He kept the ancient astrological manuscripts that are not available in any library. When I asked about yoga secret of his longevity, he replied simply: "Eat as little as possible." Sam Titus eats a bowl of vegetable soup every day. When he goes into samadhi, can not eat for the month.
On another occasion I have a conversation about where better to look for ashram [Ashram - Spiritual Center of Learning. - Approx. auth.]. Titus stressed that this must be the bank of a river and named the specific area. I have to take was one of the following Jageshwar downstream river. Titus rejected this position, saying that there are secret reasons for banning a device ashram in this place. I guessed, as he said.
Upstream is shmashan - a place where dead bodies are burned. Titus said that the spirits of dead people can learn, so ashram should be either upstream or elsewhere. When asked this, I did not notice in Jageshwar people characterized twitch - this is the one who's obsessed with the spirits of the dead.
I asked about the cost of land, Maharaj said that the need is not less than 50 lakhov. This is more than 100 000 dollars. When I said that I had no money and I am poor man, an old man very angry: "How dare you call yourself poor?" - He cried. "You yogi, you should sit down like this (when it took you to yogic posture) - and all will come and all you bring!"
After a few days in the ashram began Puja [Puja - ritual of serving god. - Approx. auth.] nine planets, during which the fire hawala [Hawaii - a hole in the ground, imposing stone, place the sacrificial fire. - Approx. auth.] burn offerings of spices, purified oils GHI, grains and other ingredients vediyskogo ritual worth tens of thousands of dollars. Titus Maharaj, as if reaffirming their instruction, sat all those days in the room, taking the people, accounting for horoscopes and pereschityvaya huge stack of Indian rupees, which brought him to the people. All of this was to go into the fire.
Maharaj traveled around the world, there are in Russia. In America, it met at the airport niece of Bill Clinton, but he refused to accompany and overtake the more than thirty-one seats. In Amsterdam, he refused to eat, saying it is too dirty place, Titus agreed to eat only when the car left outside the city, somewhere in the fields.
Maharaj water collects seven oceans in the bottle. He is still left to get to the two oceans. He then merged the water together, make great Puja and goes.
Lotus pose - a normal posture Titus Maharaja. Tell that one day he remained in that position for eight days. Titus - a simple man, not an intellectual. Therefore, the practice, he also gives a "simple": you have to learn how many hours sitting in the lotus, and have to sleep as little as possible, calm down your mind and then he said "whatever you may think, you know it." This is a classic yoga Patanjali in a simplified form.
Maharaj really has that knowledge. Sometimes he asked for came to support the handful of rice in the palm of your hand, then take that figure and says everything about this person. Sometimes Titus observes Mauno [Maunah - vow of silence. - Approx. auth.], then it can communicate only through notes.
In the eyes of Titus Maharaja lit sparks of special yogic fire, which unmistakably points to the ignition points - the result of proper sadhana. He - one of the great repositories of ancient knowledge of Bharat.
