extremely subtle in nature. These thought vibrations spread all over the world and affect
and effect, more or less, the lives of the entire human race. Hence JEEVANVIDYA
emphatically states that, As long as powerful remedies are not devised to tackle the
problem of thought pollution, the human race can never experience happiness, peace
and contentment.
Power of Thought
Thought is basically a primordial upsurge, it is a manifestation of cosmic Life Force
and is also a stupendous unique power. Whatever good or bad events that materialise in

4) Thought is like an Abhisheka (अभभषेक), that is a kind of sprinkling of

Lord Shri Krishna.
6) Thoughts are like children.
7) Thoughts are like trees.

that a desire namely, 'Let my sole entity manifest into infinite forms' occured in Cosmic
Life Force. What is stated as desire (Sankalpa) in the scriptures, is in fact a 'thought'.
The Scriptures state that at the beginning, there was 'OM' a primordial vibration, from
which the entire cosmos was created. However, JEEVANVIDYA states that even before
this vibration of 'OM', there was the existence of the primordial 'I' Thus 'I am' was the
