Sun Gazing
We have a super computer in
our bodies given to us by the nature, which is our brain. HRM (Hira
Ratan Manek) calls it the “brainutor”. The brain is more powerful than
the most advanced super computer. Each and every human being is gifted
with innumerable talents, and infinite inherent powers by nature.
Individuals should never underestimate themselves. Everyone is gifted.
If we make use of these powers we can take ourselves to great levels.
Unfortunately, these infinite inherent powers are programmed in that
part of the brain that is largely dormant and goes unused. Even medical
science agrees we hardly make use of the brain but about 5-7% – the
most brilliant of humans like Albert Einstein is reported to have used
only about 32% of their brains.
|
If we can activate the human brain and
awaken these infinite powers inherent in ourselves then we can raise
ourselves to higher levels. We can achieve any results we
want. In order to operate the brain effectively, it needs to be
activated. Being a holistic entity it needs a holistic power
supply. Sun energy is the source that powers the brain, which can
enter and leave the human body or the brain only through one organ that
is the human eye. Eyes are the Sun Energy’s entry door to the
human brain. They are also known as the windows of the soul.
Recent research has found out that the eye has many functions other
than vision. And more information is continuing to be revealed
about the functions of the eye. The eyes are complex organs and
they have 5 billion parts much more than a spacecraft that has about
6-7 million parts. By this, you can see the immense capacity of
the human eye.
HRM asserts that the rainbow is in the eye not in the sky. The seven
colors of the sun is only the reflection of what is in the eye.
We can create a rainbow anytime we want – go to the garden, just
observe below a source of flowing water as the sun moves above.
There you will see the rainbow. Eye can receive the entire
spectrum of the sunlight. It’s like having a glass window.
Eye is the perfect instrument to receive all the colors of the rainbow.
Since eyes are delicate parts of the body, we have to use them in such
a way that they serve our purposes without getting damaged. Present day
teachings and ideas such as don’t look at the sunlight at all --you
will damage your eyesight; never go out in the sun as you will get
cancer, are causing needless hysteria and paranoia. The more you are
away from the nature, the more there is a cause for illness and you
will automatically support global corporations. There are definite
foolproof ways of getting the benefits of the nature without exposing
ourselves to its adverse effects. It is also as intuitive as when
the clouds gather we become gloomy. When we see the sun, we
feel energetic.

History
The Sun is the biggest planet in our planetary system. Its
circumference is 109 times bigger than that of the earth and it can
accommodate 1.3 million earths in it. Its distance from our earth is
150 million km and it weighs 333,000 times the weight of the earth.
Also, 99.8% of the weight of our planetary system is the sun's weight.
Sun continuously sends out fireballs, which are 50,000 km long, 9,000
km wide and whose each jump towards the earth is 200,000 km. Due
to all these magnificent powers of the sun, it is no wonder that it has
inspired the mankind throughout the history. It has been worshipped
from the earliest of times by many societies living in different parts
of the world. Each civilization had a different story about it.
In ancient Egypt, the sun was worshipped as Ra. Mankind and animals
were said to have come into being through his tears. The king himself
was believed to be the "Son of Ra". It was also believed that on his
death, the king would be re-united with his father, the sun. The
pyramids were regarded as a ramp or a means of access to the sky.
Additionally, Ra was believed to travel across the sky in a boat and
through the underworld all night. There, in order to rise again the
next morning, he had to defeat the evil Apepi. He was represented as
rising from the ocean of chaos to greet the world again.
In ancient Greece and Rome, Apollo came to be associated with the sun.
In Mesopotamia it was Shamash. The Indian tribes of America have many
interesting tales associated with the sun. One of the stories is as
follows.
Science has proved the need for sunlight for growth, agriculture,
health and numerous other aspects of human life. Many of the myths from
around the world reflect a belief in the need for sunlight in the
greater scheme of things. Indian mythology too understands the role of
the sun. It was worshipped as "Surya" in India in ancient times.
According to the Indian mythology, Surya was responsible for health and
life, a reflection of what was perhaps the scientific belief of the
time. Surya is one of the principal vedic deities. He is pictured as
riding across the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. One wonders
the analogy between seven horses and the seven colors of light.There is
a practice in getting energy on a temporary basis by the Americas. To
get energy for their body, Native Indians take sunbath by standing in
the sun for two hours exposing maximum parts of their body and they
don't need to eat food on those days. They sustain on micro food
of the sunlight. When clouds gather we become gloomy. We
see the sun and get energetic.
The HRM phenomenon is in fact a rediscovery of a scientific ritual,
which was used to heal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
diseases in ancient times. Ancient Indians called this practice Surya
Namaskar, where ancient Egyptians and Americans called it Heliotherapy
and Europeans called it Apollo therapy. In the Americas, the sun was
also known as INTA.The scientific technique practiced by Hira Ratan
Manek is how he derives his energy from the solar energy of the sun.
Mankind is also using solar energy for running solar cookers, solar
heaters, and solar cars. Similarly, what HRM does is to convert himself
into a solar car by using sunlight. Traditionally, human beings eat
secondary sources of energy as the plants and other vegetation depends
heavily on the sun for their growth, simply put, the idea here is to
learn how to absorb energy from the primary source, that is, the sun
itself.
There is a scientific explanation of what may be occurring during the
exercise of this method. Since the brain is a powerful recipient and
the retina and the pineal gland (third eye) being equipped with
photoreceptor cells, a kind of photo analysis could be taking place
during the Surya Namaskar, which provides a person with all kinds of
energy and vitamins that are required for the proper functioning of his
internal organs. Additionally, the rays of the sun with seven colors
have a cure for all kinds of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's,
obesity, arthritis, osteoporosis, cancer and others. If world
peace is to be achieved, everyone should have a perfect balance of
mind. Thus, this method can also contribute to the world peace.

Process
In the year 1962 Mother Mira of Pondicherry Ashram in India suggested
to HRM that it was time to bring sungazing to the modern world. HRM
then read widely and deeply for thirty long years on the sungazing
practices of ancient times, which were once common all over the world
with all almost all cultures and religions. Over a three year period of
continual and intense experimentation on himself, he successfully
established a safe sungazing practice which he is now preaching and
teaching to humanity in dozens of countries worldwide. This method is
now accepted as a popular health practice known as the phenomenon of
HRM sungazing.
The HRM method of safe sungazing can be practiced by any one. It can be
practiced anywhere in the world and all over the year in safe times.
There are no restrictions. A person can continue his present life
style, simply add sungazing, and practice it whenever possible. If one
practices safe sungazing with faith and confidence, free from doubts
and with the proper understanding, one gets perfect health for mind
body and spirit.
The practitioner of safe sungazing, can also add to his practice (1)
safe sun warming of the body, (2) drinking and using sun charged water,
and (3) walking barefoot on bare earth with a good thick layer of warm
soil/sand/dirt that is free from grass, in order to heal the body.
Encouraged by the successful results many more all over the world are
practicing the HRM method of Sungazing and thousands all over the world
are getting the benefits. Because of the feedback from practitioners
the HRM method has been further simplified so that anyone can get
benefits without any cost and also be free from the guidance of master
or guru.
If one is regular with their practice, then benefits will come quickly;
if not then the person benefits little or later. Whether a person is
regular or irregular in their sungazing practice they will get some
benefits. Success is never denied. It is only delayed for those
practicing at intervals and with breaks in an irregular way. Everyone
is successful to some degree in this practice.
Very little mind is in the body but the whole body is in the mind. To
treat any problem we have to energize not only the physical body but
also all of our bodies (mind, body, spirit). Without doing this, we can
never completely resolve our health fully. In our brain is a super
computer that HRM calls the “brainutor”. Nature has coded inside the
brain infinite powers which are largely dormant, and if invoked or
awakened we heal by ourselves. That's why sungazing becomes very
important. The brain becomes more powerful or energetic only through
safe sungazing. The brain has countless neurons and these are important
for the efficiency of the brain. With safe sungazing the neurons
increase in number and become healthier, and that takes care of human
health. The simple key to health is to see that we have not only more
neurons, but also totally healthy neurons. It is only through the eyes
that the light from the sun reaches the brain and creates beneficial
effects in the brain.
In general, much of humanity is afraid of sun to some degree. We have
believed that looking at the sun or doing sungazing harms the eyes but
that is a wrong belief. Safe sun never harms the eyes and, on the
contrary, it makes eyes healthier. The sungazing practices of the
Egyptian, Mayan, and Incan priests and priestesses, as well as others,
serve to remind us of this truth.
We have all looked at sunrises and sunsets for long periods with no
harm. In the same way, if we start practicing safe sungazing in the
hour of sunrise hour or the hour of sunset we will get expanded health
for mind, body and spirit.
Safe sungazing is a must for better health and to alleviation of health
problems. When safe sungazing is added with sun warming of the body,
drinking sun charged water and walking barefoot on bare earth, one
easily gets cost free health and the presence of a master or a guru is
not at all required. One has to understand the practice and start
practicing.
Some Practical
Observations on Sungazing
Sungazing is best suited to warmer climates, but it can and has been
done in more Northern locals such as Canada, and Finland. Literally
thousands of people across the globe are using this method to achieve
greater health on all levels. Some experience more benefits than others
based upon multiple factors such as local, access to sand/dirt/clear
view of the sky, and the amount of time devoted to practice. However,
more often than not, it is those that sungaze with a positive attitude,
an open heart and mind, patience while practicing, and adherence to
doing it slow and steady that experience the most benefits and
continual benefits.
Many people experience a reduction in their appetite/less hunger,
and/or more joy in their lives after sungazing. Some are able to
subsist more and more on light as they expand their practice of
sungazing, from days, weeks, or even months at a time without eating
regular food and/or no food. This is but one reason why some people
sungaze. Most people, however, sungaze for the sheer joy of it, the
increased eye strength/health, the greater tolerance to light, the
lessening of stress, and alleviation of multiple physical ailments so
common in our modern day world.
This methodology is simply the rebirth of a science that was commonly
practiced by the priests, priestesses, and shamans/cuanderos of long
ago. In ancient times, it was a universal spiritual practice. Now it
has become a fusion of the ancient spiritual practice as well as a
modern scientific practice. Anyone can follow the HRM sungazing method
as described below.
Safe Sungazing Practice
Sungazing is a one-time practice of your lifetime usually for a period
of 9 months. You can break up the practice in three phases. 0 to
3months, 3-6months and 6- 9months. You have to walk barefoot for
45 minutes for the rest of your life. Food makes us commit the maximum
pain to others and exploit others. The practice entails looking
at the rising or setting sun one time per day only during the safe
hours. No harm will come to your eyes during the morning and
evening safe hours. The safe hours are anytime within 1-hour
window after sunrise or anytime within the 1-hr window before
sunset. It is scientifically proven beyond a reasonable doubt
that during these times, one is free from UV and IR rays exposure,
which is harmful to your eyes. To determine the timings of
sunrise or sunset, you can check the local newspaper, which also lists
the UV Index as 0 during these times. Both times are good for practice
- it depends on individual's convenience. Sungazing also has the
added advantage of getting vitamin A and D during the 1-hour safe
period window. Vitamin A is necessary for the health of the eye,
the only vitamin that the eye requires. If you sun gaze, the
spectacles and the associated power in the eye will go away and this
will provide better eyesight without glasses.
For those who cannot initially sungaze during the safe periods,
sunbathing is an effective method for receiving the sun energy at a
slower pace until one is able to sungaze. Best times to take
sunbath is when the UV index is lower 2 or below. This usually
occurs within the 2-hour window after sunrise or before
sunset. Sun bathing during the day is to be avoided, except for
during the winter months, when the UV index usually remains at 2 all
throughout which is safe for sunbathing. Ccheck your local
newspaper to see the published results for UV Index to be sure.
Also do not use sunscreen. When body gets heated up you perspire
and sweat is a waste product and needs to go out of the body.
When you are painted or coated with lotions and creams -- they get
degenerated and the chemicals enter your body. It is our
malpractice -our wrong use- why we blame the sun for skin
cancers.
0 - 3 Months
First day, during the safe hours, look for a maximum of 10 seconds.
Second day look for 20 seconds at the rising sun adding ten seconds
every succeeding day. So at the end of 10 continuous days of sun
gazing you will be looking at the sun for 100 seconds i.e. 1 minute and
40 seconds. Stand on bare earth with bare foot. Eyes can blink
and/or flicker. Stillness or Steadiness of the eyes is not
required. Do not where any lenses or glasses while sungazing.
Why don't you watch the sun instead of the TV? The intensity of the TV
is much more than the rising or setting of the sun. If you can
watch TV at close ranges for extended periods of time, you can easily
watch the rising or setting sun safely. Have a belief that the
sunrays or lights that you are getting into your eyes are of immense
benefit and will not harm you. This will give you earlier, quicker and
better results. Even without a belief component also you will get
the results provided that you follow the practice, however, it will
take longer time. On the other hand, you need not restrict any of your
normal daily routines. There are no restrictions. You can enjoy
your food while applying this practice. Hunger will disappear
eventually by itself.
You may consider gazing from the same place at the same time daily.
Following circadian patterns has its advantages. If you pray, you can
have any prayer of your choice. No particular one is suggested and it
is not a requirement. As a precaution, have your eyes examined by
a doctor. This is to err on the side of caution from a scientific
standpoint. Also, you should have periodic check ups. Additionally, you
can buy photo sun-cards to monitor UV and IR radiation, which are
priced at about $2. (when cards are kept in the sunlight). There
is no need to buy an expensive $500 photosensometer. If your
cheeks get heated up then stop gazing. Use common sense.
When you reach three months you will have gazed at the sun 15 minutes
at a stretch. If you can watch TV for 3 hours, surely you can see the
sun for that long. What is happening as you go up to 15 minutes? The
sun energy or the sunrays passing through the human eye are charging
the hypothalamus tract, which is the pathway behind the retina leading
to the human brain. As the brain receives the power supply
through this pathway, it is activated into a brainutor. One of
the software programs inherent in the brain will start running and we
will begin to realize the changes since we will have no mental tension
or worries. Besides, we will have the self-confidence to face life
problems by means of developing a positive mindset instead of a
negative one. Moreover, we will become fearless since our psychosis
will have disappeared so will have all the ills of the mind. This is
the first phase of the method and lasts around 3 months.
Humans have good and bad qualities, which are 2 sides of the same
coin. In the absence of the sunlight we develop bad qualities.
When sunlight enters the brain, good qualities come into appearance
replacing bad ones. Eventually, even spiritual ignorance goes
away. Sometimes, you get confused from what you hear and
read. You get contradictory information such as red wine is good
for you and alcohol is bad for you. You are baffled with life's
problems and detest decision-making. But after 3 months of sun gazing,
you develop a sense of confidence and know the answers for yourself
spiritually. There is a balance of the mind, where you are in a
position to judge personal answers - the correct answers. You develop
powers that are already inherent in you. Bad qualities disappear,
anger, greed, jealousy leave you. You become a lovable
creature. Everybody likes you. You will do no wrong.
If you are positive or fearless, you will not harm anybody nor pain
anybody. You will become a compassionate person. This is a
great contribution to world peace. A positive approach creates
solutions to problems and waste in society. There will be no need
for environmental engineers. We won't throw waste, as there is no
away. By 3.5 months everything changes.
Besides, mental depression will go away. Psychiatrists are
observing that sadness is caused by lack of sunlight. With the practice
of sungazing you will not have depression in your whole lifetime. You
will achieve a perfect balance of mind. Fear of death will go
away. The state of mind is such that you will welcome death. What
is to happen, you will be able to let it happen. There will be no
worries. Everyone has some sort of mental disorder, which is the
biggest human problem, which can be removed by the proper use of
sunlight.
3 - 6 Months
Next, Physical diseases will start being cured. 70 to 80% of the
energy synthesized from food is taken by the brain and is used up in
fueling tensions and worries. With a lack of mental tension,
brain does not require the same amount of energy as before. As
you proceed in sun gazing and as your tensions decrease the need for
food intake will go down.
When you reach 30 minutes duration of continuously looking at sun, you
will slowly be liberated from physical disease since by then all the
colors of the sun will have reached the brain through the
eye. Brain regulates the flow of color prana appropriately to the
respective organs. All the internal organs get ample supply of
the required color prana. The vital organs are dependent on
certain sun color prana. Kidney red, Heart yellow, Liver green
etc. Colors reach the organs and address any deficiencies. This is how
color therapies work --Reiki and Pranic Healing. There is a lot
of information available on color therapy. This is the process of
getting liberated from physical ailments over a six-month period.
After 3-4 months you can become cured of your physical ailments with
autosuggestion, which is imagining and visualizing healing your
ailments while gazing at the sun. Scientific methods such as the
Solariums, crystals, color bottles, natural stones, gems, all utilize
sun energy, which is stored in these natural stones. You can keep
natural color stones in drinking water to further hasten healing.
In solariums there is usually a platform at the height of 100 feet
where each of the 7 glass cabinets is constructed for each of the
VIBGYOR colors. This platform revolves around the sun whole day
and according to the nature of the disease diagnosed, the patient is
placed in the appropriate color for healing. Similarly, glass
drinking water bottles with different colors are kept in sun for 8
hours. The water gets solarized and water develops medicinal
value and is used to treat different diseases.
Photosynthesis, which we misunderstand, does not in fact need
chlorophyll. Only the plant kingdom needs chlorophyll.
Human body can do it with a different medium. Photosynthesis is
transforming the sun energy into a usable energy format. This is
how Photovoltaic cells work and electricity is produced, similarly
water is heated, food is cooked in solar cooker, and solar batteries
run automobiles.
Eyes receive the entire spectrum of the sunlight, which is distributed
to the different parts of the body by the brain on a need per
basis. As a result, you are cured from all diseases. A 3rd
intermediate medium is avoided. As you continue gazing at the
sun, energy is no longer being used up for mental impairments or
physical ailments; thus its storage level increases in your body.
You are your own master within 6 months.
6 - 9 Months
In 6-months time you will start to have the original form of micro
food, which is our sun. Additionally, this can avoid the toxic waste
that you take into your body while you eat regular food.
7.5 months and 35 min of sun gazing is when hunger starts going down
palpably. Need for food intake decreases. No one needs to
eat more than his or her hunger levels. Hunger comes because of
energy requirements of the body, which is a must for its
existence. Food is not a necessity for the body to function, only
energy is. Conventionally, you are indirectly getting the sun
energy while eating food, which is a by-product of sun energy. If there
is no sunlight, no food will grow.
Therefore, as you consume the original form of food, hunger goes down
starting to disappear eventually. By eight months, you should see
hunger almost gone. For a dull or weak student or with no belief, this
time period may be 9 months or 44 minutes. After that time, hunger
disappears forever. All mechanisms associated with hunger like
aroma, cravings, and hunger pangs also disappear. Moreover, energy
levels are at a higher level. There is a judgment (having had
this experience) that the brain is well activated with the sun
energy. Welldone, you have become a solar cooker.
After 9 Months
After nine months or when you reach to a 44 minutes level, you should
give up sun gazing since solar science prohibits further gazing for the
sake of eye care. The body will get discharged when you stop
practicing, which has to be recharged. Now you have to start walking on
bare foot on bare earth for 45 minutes daily for a total of 6
days. Relaxed walking only. No need to walk briskly, jog or
run. Any convenient time of the day is all right, however it is
preferred to do that when the earth is warmer and the sunlight is
falling on your body. When you walk bare foot, an important gland
in the brain's center called the pineal gland or the third eye is
activated. The big toe of the foot represents this gland.
25 years ago it was considered a useless gland. Now it has become
an important gland for study and up to now, about 18,000 papers have
been published about it. It has always been known as the Seat of
the soul. The Pineal gland has optic nerve endings. The
remaining four toes represent glands too -- pituitary, hypothalamus,
thalamus and amygdala. Amygdala for the last 2 years has been
gaining importance in medical research. It's a nucleus of the sun or
cosmic energy and plays an important role in the photosynthesis via the
sunlight reaching the brain through the eye. When you walk bare foot,
your body weight stimulates all these 5 glands through your toes.
This is strengthened by the earth heat/energy and the sun prana falling
on the head or the crown chakra. The chakras are not in the
spinal cord that is an imaginary location; they are definitely in the
brain. All these create a magnetic field and the body/brain
recharges with the energy of the sun entering in you. Relax. Walk
45 minutes for one year and food continues to be away from you.
After one year of recharging, if you are satisfied with your progress
you can give up barefoot walking. Few minutes of sun energy
falling on you once in 3-4 days will be enough from then on.
But if you want the immune system to strengthen, then keep on the bare
foot walking. Also if you want memory power or intelligence to
increase, continue the walking practice. As you increase the
sun's heat on your feet the brain will activate more and more, which
will result in the more activity of the Pineal gland. The Pineal gland
has certain psychic and navigational functions. Navigational
means one can fly like the birds. You can develop psychic skills of
telepathy, television and have your body at different places
simultaneously. Science has validated human psychic functions and
medical experiments are being done to ascertain this. Different
body parts and its organs get purified once you stop eating due to
detoxification. The different internal organs play different
mechanical parts for the purposes of space travel and flight.
There is another utility value (other than food digestion) for the
internal organs. All the glands have a lot of functions and can perform
at optimal level via sun energy. If you are fortunate to activate
the brain optimally you surely will reach enlightenment. You can
read past, present, and future. This method can be safely applied to
control obesity. Almost all problems get solved.
Historically, a lot of people have remained without food. Accordingly
in 1922, the Imperial Medical College in London decreed that solar rays
were the ideal food for humans. However, no one has mentioned what
their technique was-- For e.g. Yogananda in his book 'autobiography of
yogi' interviewed many saints and mystics to find out the secret of
their lack of eating food.common reply was that the sun energy entered
through a secret door and reached the medulla oblongata in the brain.
They did not divulge their secret. This knowledge was lost to common
folk at the time.
