Book Reviews of Awakening into Oneness: The Power of Blessing in the Evolution of Consciousness
Book Review: The latest spiritual fad?
Summary: 2 Stars
According to this book the OneConsciousness-blessing or Deeksha can save the planet and turn it into a paradise. Avoid a catastrophe in 2012 and bring us all up to a higher level of consciousness. Which of course sounds absolutely wonderful, just what is needed!
But when I look at the author a certain scepticism starts to creep in. For in the 70s and 80s the sama Arjuna was an enthusiastic and ardent follower (sannyasin) of Osho, and - after the alleged 'scandal' in Oregon - in the early 90s he was an enthusiastic and ardent follower of Papaji (H. W. L. Poonja) and his Satsang-movement, even travelling the Satsang-circuit himself.
As for the book itself a large portion is dedicated to some rather dubious 'scientific' argument for the effectiveness of Deeksha, much in the same way as in older books on Transcendental Meditation. There are also some interviews with the originators of the movement, the Indian couple with the somehow un-inventive names Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma, where Sri Bhagavan states that it has been his aim since childhood to save the world.
The movement seems in perfect harmony with the generel tenedency amnong 'new agers' insofar at it works with corporations and politicians. And here I find the red lamp blinking even more alarming, when Ardagh mentions the widespread use of Deeksha in Mexico, even up to presidential level, because has it changed anything, eased up the social oppression, made better living conditions for the native indian population in the country?
Connected with Deeksha is also the Moola Mantra, known from Deva Premal's latest album, and also recorded by several other artists. And I have to say so far listening to it have not changed my life.
I'm in no position to judge the genuiness of this new 'fad', in fact it would be wonderful if it's claims were true, and I don't know if Sri Bhagavan and Sri Amma can save the world. But one thing I'm 99.99 % sure of is, that in a year or two Arjuna Ardagh has found himself a new fad!
