Jnananjana Box Materialized by Arunagiri Yogishwara

This small ornate metal container was one of the items materialized by Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara and gifted to The young Avatār at the age of ten. The Avatār would store the sacred 'jnānānjana' of Aruṇagiri Yogīśvara which He would energize and gift to Him. Later on, Narayanaswami would make Jnananjana for The Avatar and He would use the same container to store it.

The tradition of the guru giving the Jnananjana is an ancient practice with origins when Paramashiva Himself first gave this enlightening kajal to Devi Parashakti. The reference of this is in the Guru Gita:

AjnaanaThimiraandhasyaJnaanaanjanaShalaakaya | ChakshurUnmeelithamenaThasmai Shree GuraveyNamaha ||

‘Opening your eyes with the Knowledge Kaajal, the Knowledge eye-liner, and helping you to see the truth.’

The Supreme Pontiff of Hinduism describes the Jnananjana: "In the Vedic Tradition, the eye-liner is not just a make-up or the dressing up material. It is made out of a ghee lamp. How originally the eye-liner is made you know? The ghee lamp is made to burn. The pure cotton and the pure ghee, cow ghee; the lamp is burnt and you are supposed to stare at that lamp through your Third Eye. The energy of the Third Eye should be stored in that fire. And the smoke settles from that fire - that is made as a ‘Kaajal’, the eye-liner. When that is used, it is healthy for your eyes physically, and the energy of the Third Eye is constantly made to work in both the eyes also. It is a physical and spiritual medicine.

So, originally the masters are supposed to sit and stare at the lamp, make ‘Kaajal’, energize it and share it with people; for them to always have the power of his third eye. The ‘Kaajal’ was, the eyeliner was a gift by the enlightened masters."

This Jnananjana is then used everyday to smear and energise one's own Third Eye located between the two eyebrows. The Third Eye is an important energy center which can be awakened by the sacred jnānānjana to facilitate one to radiate Superconscious powers
