Just as Birth is real, so is Life, and so is the inevitability of Death. When a human being decides to take birth it is with the aim of achieving a particular objective, where the soul chooses situations, parents, place, etc that is ideal for the soul to learn and finish it´s karmic lessons. At death an ignorant person leaves the body unknowingly, but a self-realized person who has received the Divine Grace of Shiv Yog successfully leaves one´s body with total awareness and thus chooses to move out of the cycle of birth and death. The self-realized person fulfils one´s purpose of life through deep comprehension of the mysteries of life. With a clear understanding of where he has to go, he easily lets go of the physical body to progress unhindered towards his luminous goal, his ultimate destination as an enlightened one. The Art of Dying is that sacred meditation of the holy Siddhas of India by which one can experience this state of existence as a radiant being again and again, even while alive in the body. Through this meditation many deep secrets of life are revealed, and with the help of this wisdom one can gain freedom from all the pain and miseries that one holds on to in sheer ignorance. All great siddhas, including Jesus, have stated, You have to be born again. that is, being reborn while living. How is this possible? Through Prati Prasav sadhna (prati again) and (prasav birth), an extremely advanced meditation practised by the holy siddhas in which one is actually reborn into and activates the incidents of innumerable past lives that still cause problems, hindrances and pain in the present. With the grace of the divine Sanjeevni Shakti, these negative psychic impressions are released and one is forever free of their obstructive influence. Babaji makes one experience the ancient sacrosanct mysteries of the Art of Dying and Prati Prasav sadhna. People pray for the ascension of their ancestors (pitra). These special meditations will not only release one from the negative psychic impressions of this life and many past lives that are stuck within you causing blockages, but also bring liberation, blessings and benediction to many previous generations of one´s ancestors through one´s pure state of mind and divine meditations at this shivir.
