Paramhansa Vishuddhanand Ji Gandh-baba Shri Vishuddhananda Vishuddhananda s childhood name was Bholanath Chattopadhyaya. Siddha Yogi Swa mi Nimanand Paramahansa of the secret Gyanganj Yogashram in Tibet took Bholnath to Gyanganj ashram. Yogiraj Vishuddhanand Paramhansadeva was the first Yogi-Sain t to introduce and propagate Surya-Vijnan, solar science, into the world for the first time. Up till then this science was confined to the precints of the ancie nt secrets of Yogashram at Gyanganj in the Himalayas in Tibet and was known only to the ancients. Baba stayed in Gyanganj Ashram for 12 years. Surya i.e., Sun o r Savita means source of creation creation . According to Surya-Vijnan there are 360 rays of the sun which go to form the whole creation of the Universe. Baba converted cot ton wool, flowers and leaves into stones, wood, etc. by the incidence of appropr iate rays of the Sun. He demonstrated practically how minute particles of ingred ients of various objects could be dispersed or assembled and destroyed or create d through the proces of Surya-Vijnan. As a result of his adherence to the strict rules of the Brahmacharya period, Bholanath had freed himself from the influenc e of ego and had also developed the spirit of surrender to the will of the Supre me Power. Matter is indestructible Shri Baba demonstrated practically that matter is indestructible. 1st Instance He asked Shri Gopinath to write something on a piece of paper, burn it and pulve rize the ashes by his hands. Thereafter he resurrected from its ashes that very same paper with the sentences written on it by Gopinath. 2nd Instance Another day, Baba had a pail full of milk thrown into the river Ganga in Varanas i at one Ghat. After a couple of days he reclaimed that pail-full of milk from t he Ganga at another ghat of Varanasi. 3rd Instance Even if a person passes away from the world of curse (Mrityulok) to heaven (Brah malok), a yogi can bring him back in the world, through his yogic power. For exa mple, Baba brought back his dead father in bodily into this world at Bondul at t he earnest request of his elder brother Shri Bhutnath. This incident has been de scribed later in chapter 6 of this book. The above proved beyond doubt that noth ing is ever lost or destroyed in Nature. Materialization of the Dead Father in Physical Form Once Bhootnath told Vishuddhanand, Bholanath! I have heard that through spiritual practice you have acquired extraordinary powers. For a long time I have a yet u nfulfilled desire in my heart. If you could fulfil the same, I will consider mys elf blessed. I want to see our late father in physical form just for once, I hea r that the soul is eternal though man is mortal. The changes take place only in the physical form of the body. But the yogi, through his yogic powers, can resur rect the soul in its physical bodily form. The yogi, through his yogic powers, c an resurrect the same as it were in the past at any time. I know you can fulfil my desire if you so wish. I have no other wish. Bholanath said, Dear brother, what you have stated is quite true. There is nothing that cannot be accomplished by yogic power or super-science. After the battle of Mahabharat at Kurukshetra, Mah arshi Vyasadeva had resurrected, her dead relatives before the very eyes of the grief-stricken Gandhari, in fulfilment of her wish. A yogi can do this through h is will-power. The same can also be accomplished by the application of super-sci
ence. But, dear brother, what will you gain by simply seeing our late father? On ly know that the soul never dies. Death only changes the form. You will not be a ble to keep your equanimity at seeing our dead father now, in his old physical f orm. Therefore, it will be better that you accept the will of God in whatever ha s already come to pass and do not press to see our late father in phyiscal form now. But Bhootnath persisted and pressed his wish. Bholanath was well aware that anybody, on seeing his dead relative, cannot normally keep his sanity intact and develops insanity. Hence he tried very hard indeed to dissuade his brother, but Bhootnath was insistent. In the end, Bholanath acceeded to his request. A room was set as per instructions of Bholanath. In it a cot was placed and on it a new bedding was spread. At the appointed hour, their late father appeared in his us ual physical form and took his seat on the bed. He even replied to the questions put to him. He stayed thus for about fifteen minutes and then departed. But the sight in bodily form of the late father left a deep harmful impact on the mind of Bhootnath. Pre-Knowledge of Future Events Bholanath (now Swami Vishuddhanand) used to visit Burdwan now and then. Once he found his elder brother Bhootnath suffering from a chronic disease. The treatmen t there was giving him no relief. Bholanath cured him by his yogic power, just b y a sheer gaze at him. But before leaving, he told Bhootnath in no uncertain ter ms that he was not ever to take onions or eggs. He also impressed this point on Bhootnaths wife and warned her of the consequences. But Bhootnath was never a per son to follow rules or restrictions for any length of time. He started taking on ions and eggs again. After some time, the disease reappeared in Bhootnath in a v irulent form. He became worse day by day and no medicine was able to provide him any relief. You can imagine the feelings of the mother under such circumstances . Although Bholanath was at that time in a very distant place, even there he cou ld get the inkling of his brother s condition and the state of mental agony of his mother. For a yogi, distance is of no consequence and Vishuddhanand appeared in stantly at his village Bondul. There he explicitly explained to his mother that Bhootnath, having disobeyed the instructions, could not be cured anymore. Simult aneously he indicated the date and time of the death of Bhootnath to the mother and disappeared. Needless to say that Bhootnath died exactly on the same day and time as had been prophecised by Bholanath. The mother became miserably grief st ricken. Bholanath again appeared on the scene. He relieved the mother of the gri ef by a simple touch of his hand. Swami Vishuddhanand had acquired many supernat ural powers through the constant practice of Mantra Jap (meditation), Tapasya (p enance) and Samadhi (superconsciousness). But he used to utilize these Siddhis o nly for the benefit of mankind. Whenever requested, he used to provide relief to all relatives or non-relatives in their bodily and mental sufferings and all ki nds of troubles. Many people suffering from chronic and virulent diseases were c ured just by a single benevolent gaze from his or by exercise of his will-power. There was no end to his yogic powers and it is impossible to comprehend, leave alone describe all of them.

Due to the un ity and separation of its various types many types of matter are known to manife st. The mutually directed union of various rays is the secret of Solar Science. From this there can either be creation of the universe or its destruction. Hence
it is of great importance to understand its process. He further elaborates that one should clearly understand the difference between the creating of the univer se scientifically and that via Yogic power. According to him Yogic creating is t he result of desire power or Iccha Shakti. The main materials required are the s oul of the creator and his omnipotent soul force. Yoga creating is external illu mination of the form present in the soul through ones strong will power or desir e. Within the Savitri mode this according to Tantra parlance is separating of a drop. -----------
