Q.7a. At which time we have to do the prayer? Whether Master has
stated anything about it?
(Sri S. Prabhakar, Proprietor, Omkar Stores, Chittoor)
A. If we go through the literature of Master up to 12-05-1922, we know the
following information. At first MTA has asked to commence prayer at 8.30 a.m.
(ML, 136, dt.19-6.1910, ML 488) Afterwards the prayer timings gradually changed
to morning 7-00 am and 7-00 pm (See Diaries) Again it is changed to 6.30 am and
6.30 pm. The prayer timings were changed so many times. It is shown in records
that Master followed different times of practice. On 10-4-1921 Olidere name
received and it is given to the mediums for practice. Even then also it is
mentioned as 6.30 p.m.
It is mentioned on 1-6-1921 that Olidere Regulation reached the Dhanur lagna and
it is working effectively. On 14-7-1921 Master said the Olider Regulation reached
its memo. From 18-4-1921 Master left Kumbakonam and went to Srirangam, Tanjore,
Bhagavathapuram, Madras and Papanasam etc., on his personal work.
From 5-1-1922-Advice 9.00 p.m.: To town mediums. To begin practice from tomorrow
6 am. Olidere 3rd name and to continue it until further orders. (Diary P.No.448)
Town means kumbhakonam only on those days.
We do not know how the practice of Olidere 3rd name was done by the mediums who
are living other than kumbhakonam town since it is to be practiced only by the
mediums only at kumbhakonam. If they have done outside kumbhakonam it amounts to
clear violation of Master’s rules.
So many people including mediums who are not having fundamental knowledge about
Master and Masters yoga i.e., who is Master, What is Master’s yoga, why Master
started this yoga have previously done at present the followers all blindly
practicing as they like deviating from Master’s rules and regulations and
carrying heaps of sins and they are distributing the sins to the present sadhakas.
In some places like Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Warangal, Visakhapatnam, Bellary,
Anantapuram, Kalyanadurgam, Kumbakonam, Guntur, Piduguralla, Madras and etc.,
they are repeating course names and regulations and deviating from Master’s
rules. They are thinking with egoism that they have become Masters on account of
repeating these.
