Q.2. All are telling that the Bhriktha Rahita Taraka Rajayoga started in
1910. What is your opinion?
(by Sri M. Venugopal, MA, BEd., Central School, Bangalore)
A. Generally all people know that yoga started in 1910 May 29th.
But we found that at the time of publication of Master’s Diaries that
Master CVV has gone through the works of Louis Kuhne of Germany and
put forth his efforts to prevent death in 1897 itself.
Q.2a. Whether these books are available?
(Sri M. Venugopal, Bangalore)
A. I am having Louis Kuhne works, Physiology and Anatomy books secured by
the Master, which were given to me by Sri H.R.Venugopal Rao second son-in-law of
Smt. Venkamma garu who is second wife of the Master. You can verify them
tomorrow.
The books are:
1. New Science of Healing
2. Am I well or sick
3. Science of Facial Expression
4. Rearing of Children
Afterwards CVV joined Theosophical Society as a member. Due to his enormous
knowledge in philosophy, they have taken him to inner circle. After some time CVV
was not satisfied the idea which the Theosophical society may give is only the
meditation but the action done in the body and the development cannot be marked
out in the system. (ML II P. No.694)
Around 1900 he started this Briktha Rahita Taraka Rajayoga or Sathya yoga or New
Yoga or Practical Yoga or Scientific yoga. He named and called his yoga with
these names. It seems he started his Yoga in 1900 with the following members.
1. Master C.V.V.
2. Venkata Rao (first son of first wife)
3. Sri S. Sundaram (friend of C.V.V.)
4. Sri Ranga Rao (grand father of C.V.V.)
5. Sri Venkata Rao (Father of C.V.V.)
6. Smt. Rukmanamma (First wife of C.V.V.)
Mahatma said on 28-05-1910 at 9.15 a.m.
“As regards your experience and the scientific knowledge, I am now to understand
that your culture has been deposited to understand the principles of mine”
(ML.I P.5)
In another place Mahatma said, in the same date between 4.30 to 4.55 p.m. “I
resolve myself that your difficulty and the luck of your will be changed into
good, even though it is changing for the last 3 years”. (ML I P.10)
Please hear what is further stated by Mahatma (S.S. Vol.I page 5 to be verified)
C.V.V.’s father Venkata Rao and mother lived up to 11-10-1910 (M.L. I P.236)
On 10-02-1922 Mahatma announced like this: “For the last 18 years in this
creation this line has tried each molecule into energy, air an in working as
piston to analyzing method in seconds, hours, days and months and has tried even
the sound ‘violent’ and came to the limit of all these creation. Even this too
comes to this “High Lobes” limit. This is the highest limit that it could see as
border. (Notes IV)
Master CVV acquired so much of knowledge and power from so many generations. He
used his powers for survival of life to Smt. Rukminamma. The life is entering and
going. Lastly she died. CVV took it as a challenge to conquer death.
For the Briktha Rahita Taraka Rajayoga 752 mediums were selected. In that Sri
Bheemasenachary name is repeated twice. Hence the total is 751 only. In that Sri
S. Sundaram, Medium No.2 got initiation on 08-05-1910. Smt. Venkamma, Medium No.3
got initiation on 08-05-1910.
According to the above announcement we go back to 18 years from 10.02.1922 to
10.02.1904 the yoga working is commenced on in each molecule. When the yoga
effect has reached to pinnacle. I.e. the limit of all this creation in 1904
itself this yoga line might have been started long back i.e., even before 1900.
Hence we presumed that it was started around 1900.
If Briktha Rahitha Taraka Rajayoga has started on 29-05-1910, how these two
people got initiated on 08-05-1910 i.e., before the commencement of yoga?
Therefore, it is not correct to say that the yoga has been commenced on
29-05-1910. We presume that yoga has been started around 1900.
All are telling and writing that 29th May 8.30 p.m. is the time of linking with
origin. This is also not correct. Master CVV published Diaries for the use of
Mediums to note down and record the course names, practice details, time of
practice etc. In that diary he gave important dates and general call dates of
yoga. The link with origin was mentioned as 30th May and not as 29th May. Yoga
friends are requested to note this fact and all are requested to observe
30th May as LINK DATE WITH ORIGIN.
