PRANAHUTI
Pranahuti is the uniqueness of the system of SriRamchandra. If we look at it from a historical angle after Bhagawan Krishna has left his mortal coil, the bhakthas became so many groups and then they distributed through out the country and I think, tried to impose or say that they are superior, inferior what ever it is and the bhakthi cult, the bhakthi yoga which was included by Lord Krishna in the path of yoga has taken more dominance and yoga per se was not given that much of importance and along with it this technique of Pranahuti also has become alien to our land.
The phenomenon of prophets or avatars is always there and prophet Mohammed was the means through which we can have an entry into the Ultimate till recently. If we go into this concept of why there should be one person through whom alone everybody else can go to God, there are various doctrines about it but it is well accepted in spiritual life that there is always one presiding person. “I am the way”, that’s what Christ said and afterwards after about 5 to 6 hundreds years prophet comes and then says, “I am the way”. The reason for that is that he is the eldest brother for all of us and he takes the responsibility of putting us through to God. This is - call it Sufism, call it Islam, call it religion, this is the accepted canon. The prophets do not come for dharmasamsthapanardha. Prophets come to assist other fellow beings to reach God, whereas an avatar comes for dharmasamsthapanardha. You should distinguish between these two aspects very very clearly then you will understand the Prophet has come and then he said that I will be of no value after thousand years, in their own works. You don’t have to say that, he himself said another thousand years, his regime is over. It is just about a few years this way or that way it will be over, it is over from our point of view. It does not mean that the avatar is not in existence. The avatar of Sri Krishna continues to operate, He is the guiding spirit, He is the monarch but one of our own person, one of our own fellow beings takes the position of a Prophet and all grace of God passes through Him. This is the one reason why people who might have been Hindu, who might have been Christian, who might have belonged to other sects also at some stage or the other had to yield to the Prophet and go to the Ultimate only through Him, there is no alternative to that till recently.
