One day, the unborn child found some errors in the Vedic pronunciations of his father and he softly pointed out the errors to his father. Kahoda was an egotistic man. He was not delighted that an embryo was trying to be one up on him. His anger knew no bounds. He cursed his unborn son, “You think you’re too smart, don’t you?

There’s no problem with that. 2: Tense every muscle of your body, starting from your foot and ending with your face, for a few seconds and release the tension. Repeat this a few times until you feel sufficiently “loosened.” You are relaxed now. 3: Close your eyes and direct your gaze to the spot between your eyebrows. Visualize a dot of sparkling, bright light there. 4: Now visualize this dot as slowly expanding into an egg shaped ball of light permeating our entire body. 5:  Let this ovoid ball of light protrude in all directions from your body.

Experience this feeling. 7:  Stay in this position for a while and enjoy the powerful sensation. Be happy you have recognized your true, powerful Self. I am willing to bet on this, you are going to feel a great change in you. The feeling’s out of this world, seriously!”
