I have been way behind in everything the last few weeks and have let my local newspapers pile up. When I finally got around to scanning through them, I saw that Hira Ratan Manek, the best-known sungazing guru, was having a free seminar at one of our local colleges. I was excited to attend, until I saw that the seminar was the day before I read the paper. I missed it completely! He was supposed to do a demonstration at sundown if the weather allowed after the seminar (the weather was good for sungazing on that day). I guess I wasn't meant to meet him.

Here is his website:

Has anyone else ever met him?

Sun gazing is a the highest form of Hinduist Tratak.

As I've wrote before, Indians trained in that discipline strongly discourage gazing at sunset, as they say the energies of the sun at the end of the day aren't healthy at all.

Anyway, I'm sure that it would have been an interesting experience to meet that guru in person!

Still I believe that the technique in itself is quite simple so you'll have no problem learning it even without attending his seminar.

Oh, I commented on this elsewhere but...

Met HRM.

Wasn't terribly impressed by his person or his speech.

Much more impressive was the enthusiasm of the sungazers I've met. I enjoyed the practice, but didn't find it vastly superior to nei gong.

I have read Hira Ratan Manek book. I have sun gazed for a month, then stopped last month because the weather just did not permit me, it was so consistently cloudy. Anyhow, meditation in the sun is really nice. I don't believe they mentioned when sun bathing or just in general, for EVERYONE reading this, BUY organic cotton clothing! Or silk or anything else natural (except Wool, just too thick. If the clothing is dyed, make sure it’s a natural dye. It’s not expensive for organic cotton shirts. They are VERY comfortable and soft. Polyester material and bad dyes stop the full spectrum color from passing the shirt to touching your skin, light still passes but it creates an off color, which causes that area of the body to become neurologically retarded. So by wearing proper clothing or less clothing you will not only build lots of Melanin but also receive Vitamin D (Too Much turns into Calcium in your body so don’t worry) and protect your self from off set colors and charge your chakras.

Also, Sun Charged Water is good. I use distilled water, that needs to be structuralized. I’m not sure if it does structuralize it for sure, but I feel the energy and it isn’t pulling out my Minerals. You can only charge it in all GLASS (not plastic). I use clear glass, Hira Manek talks about using colored glass, but clear gives you all the colors you need. It takes about 5 to 8 hours to charge.

Ever try using an HID lights to charge it? Like say an MH (Metal Halide) or an HPS (High Pressure Sodium)?


I read this somewhere:


Metal Halide - MH
Metal halide bulbs produce an abundance of light in the blue spectrum. This color of light promotes plant growth and is excellent for green leafy growth and keeping plants compact. It is the best type of light to be used as a primary light source (if no or little natural sunlight is available). The average lifespan is about 10,000 cumulative hours. The bulb will light up beyond this time but due to the gradual decline of light, it is not worth your while to wait for the bulb to finally burn out. If you compare their lumen (brightness) per unit of energy consumed, metal halides produce up to 125 lumens per watt compared to 39 lumens per watt with fluorescent lights and 18 lumens per watt for standard incandescent bulbs.


High Pressure Sodium - HPS
High pressure sodium bulbs emit an orange-red glow. This band of light triggers hormones in plants to increase flowering/budding in plants. They are the best lights available for secondary or supplemental lighting (used in conjunction with natural sunlight). This is ideal for greenhouse growing applications.

Not only is this a great flowering light, it has two features that make it a more economical choice. Their average lifespan is twice that of metal halides, but after 18,000 hours of use, they will start to draw more electricity than their rated watts while gradually producing less light. HPS bulbs are very efficient. They produce up to 140 lumens per watt. Their disadvantage is they are deficient in the blue spectrum. If a gardener were to start a young plant under a HPS bulb, she/he would see impressive vertical growth. In fact, probably too impressive. Most plants would grow up thin and lanky and in no time you will have to prune your plant back before it grows into the light fixture. The exception to this is using a HPS light in a greenhouse. Sunlight is high in the blue spectrum which would offset any stretching caused by HPS bulbs.

Very interesting. I've thought of that before but I don’t think it would work. Structuralizing the water I'm not sure. Nothing is better then sunlight, it’s the full spectrum, white light gives all colors. Good information and great idea. The budding and all that is very interesting. Thanks for sharing that.
