ABOUT MASTER EK

Introduction

He was the disciple of Master C V V . He conducted instructional classes in the science of Homoeopathy and trained hundreds of persons in this healing art. He wrote most authentic works in the science of Ayurveda, Homoeopathy, Astrology, Yoga etc., which can satiate the thirst of knowledge seekers as well as the needy common people. He explored into the synthesis among the allegories in the Vedas, the Hebrew and Chaldean literature, the Bible and the Zend Avesta. He re-established the one eternal and universal law which was masked by the formal religions, leading the pace to one religion i.e., wisdom religion. His dictum is precise, concise, sweet and practical. His speeches were impregnated with subtle humour and compassion. They were conversational in style. He touched the human hearts with his teachings and sowed the seeds of spirit of Love and service.

An embodiment of service

He was appointed as a lecturer in Andhra University without even applying for the post, but he chose to quit when some vested interests tried to create stumbling blocks in his spiritual mission, "Fusion of the East and West".
That was Ekkirala Krishnamacharya, fondly called by his disciples as `Master E.K'. "Serve until you forget that you are serving" was his main philosophy and he trained his followers that way. He believed that "manpower is greater than money power" and moulded the youth to take up social service activities. He used to say that the only qualification required to learn the `Gayatri Mantram' was the urge to learn it, and today lakhs of people all over the world, irrespective of caste, creed or religion have mastered it.
Master E.K. took upon himself the task of promoting homoeopathy as he believed that countless number of people could be treated at a low cost. Master Homoeo Vaidyalayams have been established in different parts of A.P. through which free services are extended to the needy. The free homoeo service is carried on by his followers and is doing well in Karnataka and West Bengal besides A.P. In Visakhapatnam, the free homoeo service is being extended by E.V.M.Acharya & E.Ananthakrishna Master E.K's sons, M.K.S.S. Prasad an Allopathic Doctor by profession initiated into 100%Homeopathy practice by none other than Master EK, K.S. Sastry, T.V.V.S. Rao , Thota Satyanarayana G.S.R.Murthy to state a few. Thousands of other para medicos, trained by Master EK himself, practise Free Homoeopathy at various locations across the Globe
"Secularism" only means `not guided by religion' but not discarding religion altogether. While some countries do not feel ashamed to call themselves Christian or Islamic nations, it is only India which is giving freedom to all people to practise their own religion," Master E.K. used to say.
"When this is the case, there is no need for us to tolerate the attempts of vested interests to disturb the peace or create differences.
Tolerating the misdemeanours of such vested interests does not make us `secular'. True secularism means being in one's own limitations." These words of wisdom are all the more relevant today.
'Kulapathi' Ekkirala Krishnamacharya was born to Sreeman Ekkirala Anantacharya and Smt. Butchamma, as eldest of the four children and eventual spiritual icons, Sri Ekkirala Vedavyasa, Sri Ekkirala Bodhayana and Acharya Ekkirala Bharadwaja. Born at Bapatla in Guntur district on August 11, 1926, Krishnamacharya did not undergo any formal schooling. He learnt the `Bala Ramayanamu' and the `Bhagavad Gita' at home and used to puzzle his friends by reciting slokas, when they returned home from school. He did his Intermediate from the Hindu College, Guntur and B.A.(Honours) in Telugu from Andhra University
Master E.K. was influenced by the moonlight kissing the Vizag beach, he wrote a beautiful peace of poetry "Raasa Leela". However, in later years his literary works underwent a total transformation.
"He was an inmate of the `Viveka Vinyasa' hostel in A.U. and used to observe "Mouna Vratam" on Sundays and after a bath at the hostel in the early morning, he would go to the Shanti Ashram in Pedha Waltair, sit below a fig tree and recite the Gayatri Mantra for about 12 hours," writes Chintalapati Satyadev in his book, "Master E.K. Jeevitha Charitra".
Master EK was appointed a lecturer at the Hindu College, Guntur in July 1949. He, however, continued with his spiritual programmes. He applied for a three-year study leave in December 1962 and returned to Andhra University for producing a doctoral thesis on "Tenali Ramakrishna Kavya Pariseelanamu" under the guidance of K.V. Narasimham. He was awarded the Ph.D in August 1966.
He used to continue his spiritual service programmes even while doing his research work. One day after delivering a discourse on the "Ramayana", Master EK announced: "I am planning to leave for Guntur this evening." The gathering was perturbed by his decision. In the meantime, freedom fighter and an A.U. Syndicate member, Kandala Sarveswara Rao, met him and said: "The university will be privileged to have an eminent person like you as a teacher. The Syndicate has taken a decision without your consent to appoint you as a lecturer. You can also continue your spiritual programmes".
Master E.K. thought it was God's will that he should stay back in Visakhapatnam and agreed to the suggestion. He was appointed as a Telugu lecturer in December 1966.
Quitting the job in 1974, he toured Europe and America five times between 1972 and 1983 and propagated the message of Sanatana Dharma, spiritual Astrology, Pantanjali's Yoga, Bhagavadgita and Spiritual Psychology.
He derived his spiritual inspiration from Master C V V (Canchupati Venkatrao Venkaswami Rao).
He founded the World Teacher Trust (Jagadguru Peetham) in 1971. The WTT has branches in 22 countries today.
A bust of Master E.K.has been installed by his followers on Beach Road, Visakhapatnam.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ASPIRANTS

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTIONS TO ASPIRANTS:
 
Master gave the following instructions for those who follow the line of Yoga/discipleship:
1) Keep a separate notebook to be used as your spiritual diary. It should be of ruled paper and bound in an orange-red cover. This colour is used as a signal to indicate to the Masters and their disciples that you are ready to receive instructions and practise them in daily life. The book should be carried with you throughout the day and at the same time it should not be kept open for anyone to go through it. Any attempt to show and popularise should be avoided. The attempt to keep it a secret should be passive and should not gain prominence.

2) Have a separate room for meditation and study. Once fixed, try to keep the place unchanged. If a change is inevitable indicate it mentally to your unknown Master on the previous day itself. The room should not be used for any purpose other than meditation and study.

3) Be ready for meditation at least 5 minutes before the time of meditation. The time for meditation should always be the same. 5 minutes before such time is essential. Keep a photo of a Master or a deity at a particular place in the room. North or east are recommended. Keep an incense lighted before the altar. Sandalwood incense is preferable.

4) Keep the body at ease without tension to any nerve. You can sit in any posture convenient to your constitution. Exactly at the appointed hour invoke the Master or the deity, folding your hands in Namaskarams mudra. The mudra indicates joining of the two palms in a gesture of salutation, which indicates self-surrender to one's Higher Self, or Guru, or God.

5) Close your eyes, place your palms upon your knees keep observing within. If thoughts emerge observe them. When you observe, the emerged thought dissolves. If you do not observe it, it leads you astray. The initial step is therefore to observe the thoughts. When observation is active, thoughts are not active. The mind slowly becomes blank, in the sense, the rate of production of thoughts is reduced and the mind quietens.

6) To such quiet mind, slowly endure to think of a white lotus in between your eyebrows and inside your head.

7) In case you receive any thoughts of instruction or of enlightenment, make note of them in simple words in the orange book that you carry. If sentences are heard, or seen written, you may also make note of them after the meditation. This should be the daily morning meditational practice.

8) Carry the diary with you, throughout the day, for any possible instruction coming to you from your higher mind, which needs to be made note of, lest it might escape.

9) You may now get into your daily routine, keeping the following suggestions.


10) Keep the mind free from any programme, though you follow the programme strictly.

11) Do not mentally involve your mind into the presence of anyone or any problem.

12) Do not avoid the physical presence of others.

13) Engage others in sprightly conversations, keeping yourself as an observer without being involved.

14) Be alone mentally in the physical presence of others. Do not entertain loneliness.

15) Do not engage in excessive discussions. If discussions and arguments happen around you, keep a mental cut-off until the discussion is over.

16) Learn to sympathize with the others' viewpoint. Do not disagree brutally.

17) Listen to what others need but not to what others talk.

18) Be uncompromising in essentials, liberal in none-essentials and charitable in all motives.

19) Never compare and contrast gurus and their work. Never evaluate or find fault of the work of any Master.

20) Learn to overcome the faultfinding nature in you.

21) Do not advise unasked. Do not keep away from advising when asked. Do not advise in matters, which you do not know clearly.

22) Keep the body properly nourished. Food should be more qualitative and less quantitative. Keep away from strong-smelling food.

23) Have a complete head bath at least once in a day.

24) Wash face, hands and feet as many times as possible. Take plenty of water.

25) Avoid heavy dinners and congregational foods. At the same time, do not be antisocial.

26) Avoid medicating unless it is absolutely necessary. Try to adjust health conditions by making appropriate adjustments to food, rest and sleep.

27) Emotional balance is to be practised consciously.

28) Train yourself to spend time, money and energy meaningfully.

29) Know that you are accountable in terms of hours of usefulness.

30) Account your expenditure. It is a matter of personal discipline to keep accounts relating to expenses made.

31) Try to eliminate expenditure for luxury for indulgence and all that, which results in waste. Economic discipline, unless learnt, binds you with economic difficulties.

32) Economy of speech is to be maintained. At the same time, maintain good humour and merry conversations. Do not lash your tongue at others.

33) Learn to smile. This gives expansion to your soul and the soul of others. Do not smile in the presence of the irresponsible. It promotes further irresponsibility to them.

34) Attracting through smiles is a pious art. Use it. Do not misuse it.

35) Do not make false promises.

Such are the practical instructions of the Master for those who wish to lead a life of a disciple. His work of teaching and healing was mostly the work of Light and Sound. On completion of 50 years of life, his followers organised a Golden Jubilee celebrations. A unique souvenir was brought out on the life and works of Master E.K. On that occasion his followers ardently asked the Master to give out an invocation for their use. The Master closed himself in his chamber at Radhamadavam for 10 min utes and brought out with his own hand an invocation for the benefit of the aspirants. The invocation is as under:

Invocation for the Morning Prayer

From the Point of Light within the mind of God,
Let light stream forth into the minds of men,
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the Point of Love within the heart of God,
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men,
May Christ return to Earth.
From the center where the will of god is known,
Let purpose guide the little wills of men,
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the race of men,
Let the plan of love and light workout and
May it seal the door where evil dwells.
From the Avatar of synthesis who is to come,
Let his energy pour down in all kingdoms.
May he lift up the earth to the kings of Beauty.
Let Light, Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.

Invocation for the evening prayer

May the light in me, be the light before me.
May I learn to see it in all.
May the sound I utter, reveal the light in Me.
May I listen to it while others speak.
May the silence in and around me present itself.
This silence which we break every moment.
May it fill the darkness of the noise we do and convert it into the light of our background.
Let Virtue be the strength of my intelligence.
Let Realization be my attainment.
Let my purpose, shape into the purpose of our earth.
Let my plan be, an epitome of the divine plan.
May we speak the silence without breaking it.
May we live in the awareness of the background.
May we transact light in terms of joy.
May we be worthy to find a place in the eternal kingdom Om.
