Bio...

Swami Rajakumara PunarjAta Ardhanarishvara has been a student of Theology, Eastern Philosophies, Shamanism & World Religions for over thirty-eight years. Swami has received spiritual training from various religious organizations and individuals and has actively participated in the ministry for over 25 years. Swami is an Eastern (Path of Yoga or enlightenment) and Western (Mystic Christianity Shaman) self-help teacher who teaches a combination Self-Realization or Vedanta, Taoist, Mystic Christian and Shamanic teachings. She is known for her creation of an 'Initiation into Meditation' called Samadhi Nirvana Yoga Meditation Initiation or (deep trance, cessation, yoking connection to the divine through initiation), which causes students to reach deep and transcendent states very quickly. She teaches Self-Realization through her own self-help methods, Vedanta, Taoism, Shamanism and other systems. She is a Yogi Mystic, Dzogchen Master and Shaman. She has combined fail-safe techniques that address the individuals needs mentally, emotionally and spiritually, the result leading to a clearer state of mind. In this capacity she guides them to higher levels of personal and professional growth, achievement and satisfaction in their lives.

Swami is of Celtic origin, and her ancestors were of the Dumnonii tribe in Scotland, dating back to the year one CE. Her current life cycle began on Beltane (May Day), a very significant and sacred Celtic holiday when April meets May. She is also a Walk-in Soul who entered her current body on Samhain eve (Halloween), and on the day of her conception there had been a total Solar Eclipse very near the noon hour just 3 months prior to the birth of the Age of Aquarius; in the last year of the Age of Pisces. As a result, Swami practices Celtic Holidays, much like many indigenous Spiritual people around the globe, which carries deep meaning to her current journey, and her role as an ancient Sumerian of Anunnaki origins, who has taken a human vessel to effect change within this current cycle on earth.

Swami has been teaching her own methods since 1998. She has taught these methods to individuals through her workshops as well as one on one from all walks of life consistently over the years which have continued to add to her research and development of her spiritual/self-help counseling techniques The emphasis of her teachings is to increase happiness, well-being, peace of mind and mindfulness in daily living as well as overall empowerment physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

continued from above...

After studying Yogi Philosophy and theosophy under a Yogi Master (Elinore Hill of the Spiritualist traditions/Theosophical society in California) Swami became proficient in Yoga philosophies, Taoism and self-realization practices. Swami had also become a prolific meditator by 1997. At the completion of her initiatory training, She was instructed to go forth and teach as a Guru or Rama. Swami then made the decision by way of Her teacher to become a Swami, or one who is dedicated to the path of complete self-realization as being the main focus in Her life.

Swami began formulating Her methods in Her mid to late twenties after a spiritual realization of the importance of having personal authenticity regardless of religiously taught dogmas when applied to spiritual matters. She realized that the 'church' can teach you what it will, but that you still have a responsibility to keep your own connection to Spirit truthful, regardless of the judgments or perceptions of others and in spite of those perceptions. She realized that 'man' and ministerial staff had no authority to tell others how to behave and think and that it was a personal relationship with Spirit alone that could dictate how one's actions must be determined by that person. She realized the contradictions that can take place when followers of 'truth' blindly follow whatever they are taught regardless of personal authenticity and that leaders of church organizations would not agree with this logic. This realization brought on a deep spiritual melancholy in Swami when Her Saturn returned at the age of twenty-seven.

Swami unknowingly began creating Her self-help methods to try to cope with this growing uneasiness and dissatisfaction with Her life over the next ten years. The Catholics refer to this spiritual melancholy as 'The Dark Night of the Soul' by St John of the Cross. Swami, in Her quest to comprehend Her experience, experimented with many different religions and philosophies including Scientology, Buddhism, Hinduism and Catholicism. She tried counseling, diet/nutrition therapy, exercise, hypnotherapy and esoteric healing modalities to relieve Her spiritual depression but nothing seemed to work as the answers had to come from within Her.

Swami has the ability of gestalt where She could write down an answer to a problem but be unable to show the work involved in coming up with the answer. Gestalt, not to be confused with Gestalt Psychology, is where a person will learn a small percentage of a topic of study and then suddenly just know the subject and much of what is needed for application and usage without necessarily having the words to describe or communicate what they know. It is much like having a savant syndrome. Swami has an uncanny ability to recognize mechanical and mental processes in Herself and others which helps them to make corrections in their cognitive behaviors that can bring them to enlightenment and personal peace of mind. Gestalt is a form of Clairgnosis from a spiritual perspective. She desired to know why She had these different, seemingly strange abilities and why others did not.

Being a fourth-dimensional thinker in a world designed for a three-dimensional learning process may have been a contributing factor to Her melancholy but the condition may have also been a benefit for Her to figure the way out of it. Because as well as make a life more difficult for whomever has a different learning style it can also bring a much-needed unique perspective on life and philosophy that has helped Swami to glean what works out of a pile of suggestions which do not work.

She had been studying martial arts in Spring of 1995 and was required to break boards to qualify for Her next level. At this point in time that She was being tested something strange happened. She was breaking a board when She entered into an altered state of consciousness. She lost time for several seconds and had slipped into a state where time was moving in very slow motion. Her mind became very quiet in a room filled with many people talking, and testing, and it was completely silent to Her ears. Though it felt as if She was going very slowly, She was actually moving very quickly, and the board was broken in an instant with Her hand having no memory of ever touching it. This really bothered Her, because She had no basis for understanding what just happened. When She confronted Her instructor about this 'state' that She had slipped into, he feigned ignorance, so She excused Herself from the school and decided She needed a new course of action. She now knew what She was trying to grasp, and it involved the mystical, not the physical realms.

Swami was led to begin meditating after leaving the Karate school. She that there was nothing left for Her to try. She felt that the way meditation was typically taught was incorrect and began by lying down. Through meditation She began to recall the teachings of Christ and others that had stuck with Her over the years and chose to apply them to Her life at slightly different angle then was taught to do previously. They all of a sudden made sense to and using this different perspective caused Her to understand how easy it was to get clear in Her head over life. She could now see that the words of saints and Jesus were a code for living with much more meaning than was taught to Her previously in the Church. She could now see that the teachings of spiritual beings had more to do with psychological ways to live rather than misunderstood rituals taught by many who do not understand them.

Swami, having been a child mystic with many unexplained Spiritual events, had experienced a profound Spiritual Enlightenment/Cosmic Consciousness that some have known as Kundalini rising. This is also known as a Peak Experience (Abraham Maslow) in August of 1995 (shortly after beginning meditation in May) at the age of 33. Swami felt new at this time and could not relate to her existing life as a businesswoman and wife. She then went into seclusion and began to live a life of meditation and contemplation as Her primary goal. Swami continued to experience waves of kundalini awakening experiences for the next two years ongoing that caused Her much-mixed emotions. Spiritually and emotionally life felt easier for Her than it had been prior; She became clear in her thinking, and as a result became enlightened by Her own efforts, and completely without the aid of another person guiding Her, which is necessary for the Parashakti Ardhanarishvara's assent to be worthy of Her mission.

Swami had many questions and by January of 1996 when She met Her teacher who had connections in the Spiritualist Church and the Theosophical Society lineage who guided Swami through books and videos from Joseph Campbell, Houston Smith, Deepak Chopra and Yogi Swami Ramacharaka. This brought Swami much more peace of mind and answers but still She could feel the 'Dark Night of the Soul' pressing upon her with unanswered questions that may never come. For months through 1995 and 1996 Swami continued to experience the energies of Cosmic Consciousness rolling through her body - up to ten times per day and also began to experience mysticism and miracles in more profound ways.

Swami began to have the experiences of teleportation and telepathy in Her life where she moved from one place to another, when necessary, without explanation as to how it happened, and also knowing the thoughts and intentions of others. This was disturbing to Her, to say the least, because She had no control over it. She also began to have life-altering visions during meditation sessions. Swami was meditating over five hours per day at this time and training with Hill several hours per day in addition. Her mentor, a Yogini, and Psychiatric Nurse for over forty years, began to tell her on a regular basis that she did not know what Swami was... but this only complicated matters for Swami.

By 1997 Swami had began to combine the most logical and fail safe spiritual and psychological teachings that She had been mastering throughout Her life and created the 'Steps to Personal Power and Transformation' that were influenced by western psychology, Jesus and Buddhist based logic, and teachings. Buddhism philosophy in the current day is having a great impact upon the system of psychology, it has been profoundly instrumental in helping individuals to become healthier psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually. This form of treatment is called Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

Swami's new spiritual cognitive behavioral system became Her new way of being. In using these methods Her spiritual heaviness of the 'dark night' began to lift, and clear away and She found a way that She could truly minister to others. She did not even realize what She was doing until She began to write the Alchemist newsletter in June 1997 in KC, MO. Feeling much more content spiritually as if She were on the right path. Swami wanted to share what She had done with others, so She created her methods that began as 'Steps to Personal Power and Transformation' which were published in the Alchemist Newsletter throughout 1997.

Deeper into the dark night...

Swami began teaching Her new methods in 1998 at the request of readers in Kansas City, Missouri and continued to meditate several hours per day. By 1999 miracles had become commonplace for Her so She then took a rest from meditations and began to pray for a new teacher who could tell Her what was happening to Her, as She did not want to encourage the ego to be affected by giving it power over Her honed 'senses'.

Months went by until She met an ex-Catholic mystic Christian shaman who was a spiritually seasoned master. She told this shaman what She had been experiencing and that She did not trust the miracles She'd been having, and the shaman told Her to pray for wisdom, that was all. He said that with wisdom comes spiritual power, compassion and knowledge. He also told Her that She needed to choose between the high road or the low road. He said that many chose the low road, the road to small miracles and large egos. He said that they do not go far because they are driven by their egos and do not help very many people because they lack wisdom but were anxious to be gurus, so settled. He told Her that the high road meant that She'd suffer much pain, because wisdom brings pain, but that She'd become much more effective as a result of that pain. She chose the high road in a moment because She had been on this path since the age of eight and was not going to settle for becoming a common guru. She wanted to make a real difference in people's lives.

About a month later it came to her. She understood, she understood everything, She had experienced a state called Zen consciousness.

Swami went into seclusion once more. For about a month she felt empty from what She had learned, and wondered what the next step was. It was all at once that it came...like a storm, a torrent knocking her to her knees. The knowledge of the 'Dark Night of the Soul'. For the next five months She re-lived her entire life and was shown the false ego soul's motivations over the course of Her lifetime in the ministry and the folly of it all. The very presence of Father, the Divine Spirit whom She'd known Her whole incarnation, seemed missing. Heaven felt 'shut' to Her. She questioned everything that She'd been taught and had taught; as well as everything that She'd learned. Towards the end, She even questioned the existence of the Divine as well. Everything had been systematically dismantled and stripped from Her consciousness. She learned that staying true to one's own integrity is much more necessary than the need to be accepted and approved of by the overtly religious. No one could achieve the goal, the ideal, because as soon as they do, they will be ruined from pride that comes from such perfection. Now She was free, free from needing to help others, because She couldn't. She was free from being needed, because She could not possibly help. She knew that if Father wanted to use Her at this point, it would be all Him, and She, just a vessel, now broken; because Spirit cannot use a 'whole' person, they must be a broken or they will do harm, albeit inadvertently.

At the end of this experience in February of 2000, Swami made a mental note of what was absolutely real in Her mind and one of the lessons that She'd written (after praying for something to 'teach' in 1997) came to Her. She asked herself if this was something that was lasting and real, and She decided that it was a law in human nature. She did this with all four of the laws, and then She felt that She could teach it again and not worry about it being superfluous, but substantial in the self-healing, introspective level of therapy that she could bring to others. So she began to teach again in the year 2000.

In uncovering the mysteries of Her life Swami Rajakumara PunarjAta Ardhanarishvara has learned how to help others to uncover the mysteries of their lives. She helps them to determine and peel away what is holding them back so they may FIND out who they really are. This work is the fountain of youth everyone is searching for because "The fountain of youth is in the truth".

Swami's

path began...

Swami's path began by memorizing biblical scriptures at the age of five-six. She knew when she was eight that she was here to do the work of Spirit, based upon a vision that she had where she chose to serve mankind for Good, rather than serve the darkness of this world against mankind. Upon fear of death, she chose to help and serve the 'God/good' of humankind over the darkness, or what some refer to as evil.

Swami's Mother thrived on scripture reading and prayed with the children each night; many times up to 60 minutes each night. Swami's Mother also gave singing and scripture lessons many times per week to Swami and her siblings, in addition to obtaining piano lessons, and formal private religious education to the children.

"What impresses me the most is how Swami deals with the problems people have with clear and direct input. The love and spiritual qualities flow from her. She is a powerful and dynamic healer. Life changing, full of love and energy!"

Jerry Mayhall, Professional

Swami had gone into the hospital get her tonsils out when she was eight years old; but when she awoke there was something very different about her. The previous girl was no longer there, She had replaced her, and now known as the Aeon Christ, Enlil, or who is also known as the wife of Shiva, the Goddess Parvati from the Hindu tradition. Her birth name literally means Parvati, reborn. This phenomenon is typically referred to as a Walk-in. The surroundings seemed much older than Swami was accustomed to as the original girl, for Swami it was as if she/he had gone back in time, far into the past, though she was not frightened at all. She had been prepared prior to awaking to know where she was, and who the people in her life were, but things were very different; and She felt very different. She felt much like she does today, as an adult, very compassionate and wanting to help others with their problems and a lot less concerned about her own needs. The child who had once inhabited her, was completely gone. She felt like she needed to get to work immediately, so Swami set out to do just that. Swami knew that She was here to help others, to help them to find happiness and peace in their lives and minds. She had begun counseling others at that time on the importance of finding, and living, one's own dharma.

After She awoke, Swami had many experiences that validated to her that She was very different from others. When at the Nazarene church, though She seemed very comfortable and happy, did not view herself as other's viewed themselves. Though She still had to confront evil head on, Swami had lost her fear of it, or the devil, and knew that he could no longer harm her. She felt a constant companion to Father, and Shiva (Siva) who were with her both night and day. She never felt alone again, as She understood that She was receiving lots of help from the Divine source (Monad). When times got very difficult for Her, and psychopathic children teased Swami in school, She felt Guardian Angels, Shiva, or Father talking to Her, protecting Her, and telling Her that she should not 'be distracted' by these events; instead, telling Her that She had to focus on the future, and that She had something very important to do here on earth at this time. She was an adult, forced to go through childhood, as if She were a child. It was very difficult for Her, there were no answers provided for Her as to what she was experiencing at that time, and as a result Swami had to develop a very strong faith in who She was, and why She was here, so as not to become too disheartened over the small slights and traumas of life.

Swami had always felt that it was odd that in the meeting that She had had with Satan, that he had seemed so perplexed, at a loss, and even confused that She, of all other souls he had come to gather, had not been given a 'choice' as to whom they would serve. He had fully expected her to comply, and at this realization Swami knew that the little girl who was inside of this shell originally had already agreed to go with him by a certain date, and She came in early to stop that from taking place. This is why Swami had to incarnate sooner than originally intended, and why She was sent too far back into the past. This was the planned vessel for Parvati/Christ, and it could not be lost to the evil of this world. He discovered instead that this child "was not Her own", as that was what She heard herself thinking back to him when he threatened to kill Her. She commiserated with him and his impossible task while telling him that even if She'd wanted to, she could not change her mind or destiny, to please him. She did not appear frightened at all of Her death, or what might befall her by Her refusal to his offer, because She felt adamant, that She was here for mankind, and for mankind alone. She knew that She was here on a mission to serve and help the human race, and if not to help, then allow him to kill Her, as he was threatening to do when he did not get what he came for. She did not leave though, instead, he let Her go.

"In the Torah, angels only appeared to men in a human disguise, and never without one.[6] In the Old Testament apocryphal Book of Tobit, the Archangel Raphael takes on human disguise and the name of Azarias.[12] (Child and Colles note that '[...] he appears as a mere man, an archangel incognito as it were".[13]) The Book of Genesis tells of three angels visiting Abraham in human disguise (Gen.18),[14] and two visiting Lot in Sodom (Gen.19).[15] Philosophy professor Peter Kreeft has asserted that when an angel wears its human disguise, human beings cannot penetrate the disguise due to the superior abilities angels possess; Kreeft cites as proof Hebrews 13:2: "... some people have entertained angels without knowing it."[16] Child and Colles summarize: "The angels in the Old Testament were known to be messengers of God, sent to do his will, usually invisible and mysterious, but sometimes coming without wings in the guise of men." ([17], Wikipedia, Human Disguise).

Fast Forward four years:

Swami began formal study of Theology when She was twelve years old by insisting that Her mother send Her to private religious schools, or She would drop out of school altogether. A very precocious child, Her quest for learning was insatiable and, what She had assumed, was sparked by the death of Her father, as well as ongoing spiritual dreams and visions in Her youth. She experienced strange thoughts going through her mind on a regular basis of having a significant destiny in world events. She possessed a knowing that She was not a normal person who needed religion in the traditional sense. She understood that Her very existence was significant and was surprised when others were not aware of Her destiny as well. She has been a prophet from a young age, often times spouting edicts or wisdom from no-where and getting into trouble over it on occasion, but fearlessly continuing on regardless of how She was received. She would recognize and confront adults on dysfunctional behaviors, which caused them to take a step back out of fear of exposure in shock over what came out of her mouth.

Swami was driven to understand the mechanics of how God worked. Having also had many mystical experiences as a child She desired to further understand the mysteries of Her Father, Herself, and what effects Spirit were having upon Her life. As a child Swami became familiar with a few different Protestant Christian sects, and went on to study Mystic Christianity, World and Eastern religions, mythologies and philosophies whilst adding several to her repertoire.

The Spiritual Haven for Healing, Self-Realization, and Transformation!

Since an early age Swami was drawn to spiritual matters, especially after the death of her father when she was just seven. Her mother had her memorizing Bible scriptures and praying as young as age four. Swami was prone to mystical experiences as a child. She had unexplainable phenomena, known as Peak Experience, or Cosmic Consciousness events happening on numerous occasions very early on and this resulted in many questions that went unanswered for decades as to what those experiences meant. Swami, who had been raised as a Nazarene, demanded that her mother send her to private Theological schools after the seventh grade. She succeeded after this in gaining exposure to multiple protestant beliefs, attaining a theological education until graduating from a Missionary high school in 1980. She thrived on religious studies and excelled in her knowledge, education, and understanding of Biblical scriptures until current day.

Swami has been very committed to spiritual matters since the age of eight when she entered her current body as the Walk-in Aeon, Christ, or Enlil. Within two weeks she had an experience with Satan, the Demiurge, or the Anunnaki god Enki with him threatening to kill her if she refused to go with him and belong to him. Naturally, She refused, and his threats went away, unfulfilled, with him. She learned from this experience that she was here on earth to serve her Father as His Avatar as the priority of her life. She discovered days after turning twelve that She was and is the Gnostic Christ Aeon and has been sitting with this knowledge and pondering this since April of 1974.

Swami's spiritual studies continued throughout her twenties to the extent of her joining the ministry in 1985 with a Fundamental Christian sect to study in depth exegetic expository Theology. She stepped away from traditional Christian beliefs to study Eastern philosophies and World religions in 1989 after her Saturn returned and took her onto a different path to becoming a Yogi, a path that She remains on today.

As a life-long learner Swami continues her studies to the present day where she explores learning about Sumerian Ancient Alien theories, Gnosticism, comparative religions, and many other topics, as well as following the progression of many other religions and religious and political turmoil throughout the world.
