Swami Vivekananda's Jnana Yoga I - Our Real Nature by Swami Sarvapriyananda
•
Jñāna-yoga: the path of spiritual realization through a speculative philosophical search for truth.
•
During my time in India over 10 years ago, I was incredibly blessed to spend time in Kanyakumari, Tamil Nadu, which is very significant to Yogananda Vivekananda.
At this very southern tip of India, where 3 oceans merge, there is a very sharp point. The waters rage, collide, burst in quantum explosions! Beyond the point, there is a great rock. Below the feet are the sharpened edges of that ancient sword of Bharat. Ahead rushes a force that Earth sends from all directions. Go under water three times, they say, and all of your sins will be washed away. I found myself upon my own rock, held to it with my feet of Hanuman. This is a fierce and holy place, an ancient battleground of dual natures.
Around the turn of the 20th century, Vivekanada swam through this impossible channel to miraculously perch upon the great rock beyond, the bodhicitta, the dot of the om, of the continent. He meditated for 3 days there, upon the past, the present and the future of India in the World. He went on to pioneer the first wave of what we know of Yoga and Vedic Science enlightening the West. Arriving in Chicago September 11, 1893, at a time of Tesla and Walter Russell, the dynamic energetics were out of this world!

There is now an Om Temple upon that great rock, it took a twenty minute choppy ferry ride to get there. There is a great sundial and moondial. Inside, vibrations of all oceans, all sky, all earth, all sun, combine with all spirit as the devotional continuous Om persists without end.
