I was in India with Swami Dev Murti Ji for a year (the whole of 1987
after completing my MPhil in Mathematics) to study Yoga and help
teach/demonstrate/lecture/serve. Swami Ji is a very high Himalayan Yoga
Master who is continuously in a state of what he calls "Living Nirvana,
not after-the-death Nirvana". He has been teaching in Europe and India
since before 1962. He is well known at a personal level in many
countries, but not known at all by the media. He is also known as the
"Father of Yoga in Europe".
You may know the famous curse "may all your karmas come to you in the
next seven days". This means that all good/bad karmas, which may take a
lifetime to experience in the normal and natural course of events, would
have to be experienced in seven days!!! This would be unbearable for
most ordinary people.
Swami Ji once told Jack and John (my teachers) that what they had
experience in a year was equivalent to the resolution of a lifetime's
worth of karma.
My understanding of what is meant by Swami Ji being able to "burn your
Karma" is as follows. He first makes an analysis of the good/bad karma
of the individual. Next he analyses the capacity of the individual.
Then he makes certain situations and circumstances available that will
assist in resolving the karma. This also involves ensuring that other
people who are bound in to the individual's karma are also available in
the environment. If this process is done slowly it is difficult, but
bearable. If this process is done quickly then it is almost impossible
and unbearable. I have had the latter form.
In terms of my personal experiences, I will give you a general idea of
the process, since otherwise I would have to write a book. The process
clearly would be different for different people, depending on the
various factors indicated above.
Being born into a certain family indicates some Karmic relationship with
the members of that family and relatives (recall the saying "you can
choose your friends but not your family"). Also throughout ones life
one will come into contact with various people who have some Karmic
relationship.
The aim of a Master such as Swami Ji is to ensure that each day there
are opportunities (occurring naturally, or occasionally with some
assistance) for the maximum karma to be resolved. It is not only that
bad karma has to be resolved, but also good karma. Also, for most
people, there is no knowledge of the particular individual karmas.
Therefore most people cannot act in a way to reduce or resolve karma.
Swami Ji can penetrate even to the deep levels of an individual and
ensure that hidden/latent karmas are discharged, reduced, or resolved.
I will give just one actual example, as a taster. During my stay with
Swami Ji, there was another person (not necessarily a Yoga student) in
the environment. In normal life, there would have been no problems or
differences of opinion, and that person seemed reasonable enough from an
external viewpoint. However, Swami Ji probably saw that there were
karmas to be resolved and arranged certain difficult incidents on a
regular basis. This is clear in retrospect and hindsight, but it was
not apparent at the time of the events.
The process of burning karma strengthens the individual/student. A true
master is not always "sweetness and light". A true master wants what is
best for the individual and related karmas. The discipline will be
difficult/unbearable in the short term, but when one emerges from the
"fire" then there is greater internal strength and purity. The
cleansing and purification of karma is not necessarily continuous, and
there are often little "holidays" in between in order to integrate and
absorb the results.
I hope that this provides a little bit of insight into karma resolution.
Bhavin.
