The Flipped Video Lesson # 2

What is the Chandian Effect? How did Faqir Chand come to realize the secret behind religious visions?

The Chandian Effect designates two major factors in transpersonal encounters.  It is the overwhelming experience of certainty and the subject of projection of sacred forms, figures, scenes by the meditator without the conscious knowledge of the object and person that it is beheld at the center of the experience.   Faqir Chand came to realize the secret behind religious visions while he was at war in Iraq in 1919.  After becoming aware that his army was low on ammunition, he began to fear for his life.  It was at that moment that he had an apparition by Hazur Data Dayal Ji telling him not to fear the opposition for they just wanted to pick up their dead, to allow them to do that and not waste the little ammunition they had left. He advised his major and the major followed the directions of the apparition.  By morning his army received the ammunition they were waiting for. They no longer had fear and they now felt safe.  The war ended about three months later.  Upon returning to Baghdad the Sat Sangis began worshiping him because they claimed he, Faqir Chanda, had appeared before them in the battlefield while they felt in great danger and feared for their lives and gave them directions that would save their lives.  They indeed followed those directions their lives were saved.  Faqir Chanda was shocked being that at that same moment, he too was in fear of his own life and had no knowledge of what they were going through.  This made Faqir Chand have questions within himself as to who really appeared to the Sat Sangis.  He came to the realization that the secrets behind religious visions are the true knowledge of feelings, visions, and images seen within, the unreal impressions created by the mind in a state of being awake, dreaming, and in deep sleep modes of consciousness.
