Understanding How to Use the Power of Affirmation
From Scientific Healing Affirmations, by Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda

Man's word is Spirit in man....Words saturated with sincerity, conviction, faith, and intuition are like highly explosive vibration bombs, which, when set off, shatter the rocks of difficulties and create the change desired.

Each thought of depression or happiness, irritability or calmness, cuts subtle grooves in the brain cells and strengthens the tendencies toward sickness or well-being.
The subconscious idea-habit of disease or health exerts a strong influence. Stubborn mental or physical diseases always have a deep root in the subconsciousness. Illness may be cured by pulling out its hidden roots. That is why all affirmations of the conscious mind should be impressive enough to permeate the subconsciousness, which in turn automatically influences the conscious mind.
Strong conscious affirmations thus react on the mind and body through the medium of the subconsciousness. Still stronger affirmations reach not only the subconscious but also the superconscious mind — the magic storehouse of miraculous powers.

Declarations of Truth should be practised willingly, freely, intelligently, and devotionally. One's attention should not be allowed to lag. Straying attention should be brought back again and again like a truant child and repeatedly and patiently trained to perform its given task.

Patience and attentive, intelligent repetition are wonder-workers. Affirmations for curing chronic mental or bodily afflictions should be repeated often, deeply and continuously (utterly ignoring unchanged or contrary conditions, if any), until they become part of one's profound intuitional convictions.

O blazing Light! awaken my heart, awaken my soul, ignite my darkness, tear the veil of silence, and fill my temple with Thy glory.

Choose your affirmation and repeat all of it, first loudly, then softly and more slowly, until your voice becomes a whisper. Then gradually affirm it mentally only, without moving the tongue or the lips, until you feel that you have attained deep, unbroken concentration not unconsciousness, but a profound continuity of uninterrupted thought.

If you continue with your mental affirmation, and go still deeper, you will feel a sense of increasing joy and peace. During the state of deep concentration, your affirmation will merge with the subconscious stream, to come back later reinforced with power to influence your conscious mind through the law of habit.

During the time that you experience ever-increasing peace, your affirmation goes deeper, into the superconscious realm, to return later laden with unlimited power to influence your conscious mind and also to fulfil your desires. Doubt not and you shall witness the miracle of this scientific faith.

How to Practice Affirmations

• Choose an affirmation for your particular need.
• Sit with spine erect.
• Close your eyes and gently focus your gaze and concentrate at the point between the eyebrows.
• Then, Paramahansaji said, "take a deep breath and exhale it, three times. Relax the body and keep it motionless....
• Cast away anxiety, distrust, and worry....
• Repeat all of the affirmation, first loudly, then softly and more slowly, until your voice becomes a whisper.
• Then gradually affirm it mentally only, without moving the tongue or the lips, until you feel that you have attained deep, unbroken concentration — not unconsciousness, but a profound continuity of uninterrupted thought.
• If you continue with your mental affirmation, and go still deeper, you will feel a sense of increasing joy and peace.

About Siddheswara Ananda Bharathi

H.H Sri Siddheswarananda Bharati Swamy (1937 – Present) (Birth: Jan 23rd 1937)

(Birth: Jan 23rd 1937)
The present peethadhipathi of Courtallam, HH Sri Siddheswarananda Bharati is well known as Dr. Prasada Raya Kulapathi (Venkata Lakshmi Vara Prasad Rao) was born on January 23rd 1937, in the village of Elchur of Narsaraopet Taluk, Guntur District to the couple Sri Potharaju Purushotthama Rao, a great poet, and Smt. Swarajya Lakshmi. He ascended the throne of Sri Siddheswari Peetham of Courtallam on Datta Jayanthi day in 2002 (December 19th, 2002). Dr. Kulapathi’s great grandfather Sri Rama Kavi was the guru to famous Kopparapu poets. He had a very good and strong physique. Dr. Kulapathi inherited from his grandfather the wrestling techniques along with all the poetic talents. He rendered unique services to Telugu literature as Avadhani, Aasukavi, an orator, and organizer of literary dramas like Bhuvanavijayam and so on. He was bestowed many great titles such as Avadhana Saraswathi, Chakravarthi Sahithi Sarvabhauma, Saraswatahi Kanthaabharana, Rupaka Samrat, Kavitha Sudhakara by different literary societies. He contributed several poetic works like Siva Sahasri, Ambica Sahasri, Kavyas like Kavi Brahma, Kavya Kantha, and dramas like Ramani Priya Duothika, Vande Matharam, and novels like Bhagavatha Vimarsa, Tantric World, Vraja Bhagavatham, research books and hundreds of essays. He won the favor of committee members, staff and students of Hindu College, Guntur for his able administration as its principal.
From a wrestler in his childhood, he grew up to the tremendous heights of spirituality with his upasana and penance in sacred/holy places. Sri Kulapathi learnt yoga, pranayama and did Lambica Sadhana by cutting the lower part of his tongue. He used to take only cow milk and very little food when he was in penance. He was initiated by a great Dattatreya mantra Upaasaka Sti Pasumamula Subbaraya Sastry and obtained Naaga mantra siddhi. Then Sri Kulapathi started chanting Chinna Masta (Vajravairochani) mantra, when a crore was completed he was blessed with Prachandachandi’s darsan. Lord Shiva appeared and graced Sri Kulapathi with Pranava Panchaakshari. At this stage he came in to contact with Sri Radhika Prasad maharaj (Sri Raallabandi Veerabhadra Rao) who was a great yogi. By his influence Sri Kulapathi started Radha mantra Sadhana. Radha Devi, the goddess of Brindavan blessed Dr. Kulapathi with her Darshan and initiated him with her Astakshari mantra. As a result, he wrote “Vraja Bhagavatham”. He is always protected by a shield from bestowed on him by Chinna Masta (Vajra Virochani) in the form of Bhadra as a boon from the divine. On praise of this deity, he submitted at her feet “Aindri Sahasri” with thousand poems. During his meditation of Goddess Matangi-Syamala Devi, the goddess showered her mercy with her divine music. In the mantra deeksha of Hanuman, Tara, Tripura Sundari, Renuka etc., the concerned deities gave their darshan poured their grace on him.
600 years ago, blessing his tapas in Himalayas in the previous birth of Dr. Kulapathi, Mother Kali appeared before him and turned in an idol. In this birth, that idol came to him through the cosmos. Some devotees enjoyed this astonishing vision. Swayam Siddha Kali Peetham was established for this deity. This Kali idol which received the prayers and services of Trilinga Swamy, Bhairavi Brahmani, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swamy Visuddhananda, Baba Kalaleswara Kalidas etc., is now receiving traditional worships in accordance to her wish at Guntur. With the great divine powers as the gifts of god, Dr. Kulapathi is able to tell the past births of many and also cure many diseases. For some divine deeds Kaalidevi initiated Sri Kulapathi with Kaala Bhairava Mantra. He went to Kaasi and started chanting Bhairava mantra. There the Lord Kaala Bhairava along with Kaali devi apperaed and showered grace by which Sri Kulapathi became a powerful mystic. One day when Sri Kulapathi was meditating in front of the kaali idol, an immortal saint Swamy Sraddhananda brought a message from Siddhashrama yogis that Dr. Kulapathi should enter the order of sanyasi. On September 8th 2002, Dr. Kulapathi was given sanyasa deeksha by HH Sri Siva Chidananda Bharati of Courtallam and gave him a new name as Sri Siddheswarananda Bharati Swamy, and declared him as his successor. HH Sri Siddheswarananda Bharati ascended the throne of Courtallam Peetham on December 19th, 2002 on Datta Jayanthi day.
Now a new era started in the annals of Sri Siddheswari Peetham’s history. The ancient way of attaining anything and everything by yagna has come in to vogue. Thousands of people began to rush to Courtallam for doing Homas to solve their problems and to attain mantra. H.H Swamiji initiated lakhs of people with mantra Deeksha. Swamiji toured all over India and other countries like U.S.A and Sri Lanka and delivered lectures on philosophy, puranas, and mystic sciences.
To protect the Sanatana Hindu dharma H.H Swamiji started Hindu Dharma Rakshana Yagnas in India and abroad. It is visualized that deities are coming and bestowing the results. So many dhaya yogis, Avadhuthas revealed that a great siddha purusha from Siddhasramam descended as H.H Sri Siddheswaranada Bharathi Swamy (The Mystic Monk Of Courtallam) to do Divine deeds, to protect Sanatana Hindu dharma and mankind from evil forces.
Ongoing through the literary works of Siddheswarananda Bharati, given below his learning and scholarliness can be clearly understood.
