ANANDA GANDHA🔗

The ultimate transcendence

Ananda gandha is not shoonya as we think; it is poorna. Shoonya means nothing. Ananda gandha is not nothing, it is everything; it is the fullness. It is where energy and matter meet. Blackhole is the wrong name given by scientists. It is a white hole. In it, everything is there, but the frequency at which it exists is high. For example, these trees are moving, you can hear the sound. But the whole planet Earth is moving, but you are not able to hear that sound, why? Because the frequency is high. In the same way, when sound exists in a different frequency, you can't hear it. If matter exists in a different frequency, you can't see it. Blackhole is the place where the frequency of the matter becomes too much. Because you can't see it, you call it blackhole. It is not that things disappear. They exist in a higher scale, in a higher frequency.

So when you are in ananda gandha, you are entering into enlightenment where you exist in a higher frequency. Once you realize that you exist in a higher frequency, the fear of death will disappear in you. You will not have fear of losing anything. Once you realize that you exist in higher frequency, that you can never die, that there is no such thing as death for you, that you will never perish, insecurity will simply disappear. That is why I tell people, ananda gandha meditation is the ultimate technique which can put you in enlightenment. It will show you that you exist in higher frequency. What you think as you never dies. It exists always in higher frequency. What can die never existed. In you, if you think that something can die, it never existed. Even now it does not exist. To you it may exist, but it never really exists. In you, something that never dies can never be killed. That which can't die can never be killed; that which dies never existed. So naturally, there is no need for fear. Ananda gandha meditation will prove that you exist in a higher frequency - in which there is no death.

Heaven and hell are the marketing tools of religions and society. Heaven and hell are not geographical as we have been made to believe. If you are living blissfully, you are in heaven; else you are in hell. That's all!
