Guru Navara -  cont.

To preserve the essence of correct yoga Guru Navara did not teach yoga for the skeptic public but only to a few serious disciples. With growing demand from the general public, he finally accepted to teach to the masses, but carefully observed the gradual preparation of his disciples.

He was named "Paramahamsa" ("Divine Liberated Swan") and "Maharishi" ("Great Sage") and was recognized as a truly enlightened Yoga Master, by many known gurus: Mahavatar Babaji, Swami Vishnudevananda - the main disciple of Swami Sivananda, Swami Ananda, Swami Satya, among others. He was named and known worldwide as Paramahamsa Kaivalya Maharishi and also as Shini Babaji, in Advaita and Maha Siddha lineage. In Tibetan Buddhism Vajrayana he was named as Karma Sherab Senge (Prajnasimha), "The Lion of Wisdom". At this stage he had attained The Full Nirvana or Kaivalya, the classical ideal of spiritual Liberation.

The greatness of Guru Navara related to classical Yoga ideal and to classical yoga schools consist in the following: Yogis believe that Kaivalya (Nirvikalpa, Nirvana) is the final point of spiritual evolution and that man must remain in this state to achieve Liberation. Is this the absolute truth? Guru Kaivalya came to give a different answer to this. According to him, there are various superior states of God, and also the possibility to experience them through very special yoga teachings. During these, the spiritual and physiological conditions required for Nirvikalpa are passed over, and the conscience is more elevated, and more understandable. The Liberation State related to these higher states is indeed much superior to that of Nirvikalpa, and the real Enlightenment and Liberation comes only from them. They are dissolving the necessity and apparent benefits of a monastic (swami order) life in yoga practice. The natural life in universe and society is reinstated in its own rights and a true yoga can be practiced now.

His own experience, in the next years after Nirvikalpa Samadhi, came to prove this.

By the help of God, then he entered gradually to higher states of conscience, much superior to Kaivalya (Nirvikalpa) : Moksha, Mokshina, Mokshatita, Ananta, Acyuta and Paramananta or Navara.
