Home of Rehnadee Shum, A Language For Meditation

Emkaeef, Self-God, Nirvikalpa Samadhi, Sunya,  

Emkaeef, The Self God is a spiritual experience highly sought after by mystics through which the state of union with the transcendental Divine is experienced. It leads to the proclamation that God and man are one. In meditative discovery God can be 'met' through various experiences such as witnessing His/Her form, feeling overwheming peace or contentment, experiencing blissful energy that pervades the universe or The Self God–simply God as Nothing. Of all the experiences of God, in Rehnadee Shum and other traditional Eastern meditation practice the experience of The Self God is hailed as the ultimate goal. 

The Self-God (in Rehnadee Shum, Emkaeef) is a word my guru, Sivaya Subramuniyaswami, coined for the ultimate state of enlightenment. The Self-God (abbriviated as The Self in my guru's speak) is also the same as The Void or Sunya in Buddhist words. The origins of the word Self-God comes from a talk that Gurudeva gave to group of his devotees in San Francisco in 1959, that was later titled The Self God. Gurudeva explained that when he was giving this talk he was chanelling one of his spiritual guides, Rishi Kalidas.
