Mahan's World Tours

Once when Mahan was in Tokyo, Japan during the 60's, he was having a Satsang with a group of interested Japanese .During the Satsang, Mahan's Japanese secretary told Mahan 'EXCUSE ME SWAMIJI' and GULPED DOWN A PEG OF SAKE (JAPANESE WINE).  Mahan did not take offense to this incident and said this was their culture and we have just to go along even though we don't approve of it. Just wondering if this same incident happens in India with a disciple excuses himself and gulps down some patai saraiyum (Indian alcohol) what will happen? Santhosham.

A manifestation of Mahan's Divine energy

Sometimes during the 70's, Mahan came to Singapore from India. One senior disciples wife from KL phoned Mahan at the Singapore Sabhai complaining sadly to Mahan that 2 of her daughters have reached the puberty age for sometimes but still have not commenced menses yet. That night both the girls starting menstruating. The next morning, the mother excitedly phoned Mahan with the good news. The first thing which Mahan said on the phone was "Vantherecha (Came already ah)" ? Such was Mahan's powers helping from the most mundane things right up to to more complicated matters. Santhosham.

Another light moment with Mahan

Sometimes in the year 1977, at the Klang Road Sabhai in Kuala Lumpur, a young boy in his early twenties approached Mahan and asked this question : "Swamiji, can I practice Kundalini Yoga?' Mahan as usual in his jovial mood asked back 'If you see a beautiful sexy girl, will you get excited?" The boy answered back 'Yes of course".  Mahan then said  'You are ready". There is a great truth here:  if a person does not have feelings or sensations in his body then it is difficult to practice Kundalini Yoga., thats why the ideal age to practice would be between 23-70 years approximately. Santhosham.

An amusing incident

Sometimes, we have all kind of people trying to get initiated in Kundalini Yoga. A few years back an elderly gentleman came and wanted to get initiated in Kundalini Yoga. He came in a Mercedes and looked very prosperous. He told me he has seen all kind of Spiritual Masters throughout Asia and some or rather my name was in his list. I told him humbly I am just a normal person teaching Kundalini. He really wanted the initiation so before I proceeded I told him all the rules and regulation of this practices especially the strict abstinence from sex the first 14 days and also from alcohol and cigarattes. He dutifully agreed and took the initiation. He returned on the 15th day for the 2nd stage accompanied by a woman whom he introduced as his 3rd wife. I enquired about his first two wives and he casually remarked that there were working today. He actually stays with all the 3 wives in one house. I then asked about the sensation/awareness in the forehead for the last 14 days. He casually replied no awareness at all, only a bit of headache. I then asked whether he abstained from sex. He said no and on the contrary he had continued with his usual 2 times sex everyday. I then politely told him Kundalini Yoga was not for him and sent him away. Santhosham.

The best Tea ever

One day in the year 1976, I was with His Holiness GP Mahan at the Singapore Sabhai at Upper Serangoon Road. It was about 4pm and Mahan asked me to go to a particular tea stall about 100 metres away to buy some tea. Mahan gave me a container to buy the tea and told me to inform then owner this is for Mahan. I bought and came back and both of us enjoyed the tea. And what a tea it was. I have never tasted such delicious tea in my entire life. To this day I have not found any tea that was so fantastic.

Mahan and a Baby

Sometimes in 1977, when Mahan was in Malaysia at the Old Klang Road Sabhai, a young couple came to see Mahan to seek advice for their few months old baby. The baby will off and on tremble with a jerk .This was due to some kind of loud noise which shocked the baby. Mahan told the parents to take some cold water in the hand and strongly splash on the face of the baby 3 times when asleep thus rudely awakening the baby with a shock. This shock treatment can be done for a few times until the baby is back to normal. The rationale for this treatment would be since the baby suffered from a shock earlier, a few more shocks would reset the baby's system. Santhosham.
