Maharishikaa responds to an emotional ex-follower of the EnlightenNext movement Christopher Hawkins, about its founder Andrew Cohen's recent passing away.

She traces his rise and fall as an influential teacher in the field of spiritual awakening and enlightenment experiments during the 1990s, most notably through his work with EnlightenNext. She shows understanding for the emotional rollercoaster experienced by many of his former disciples—including those who left him—as they process his death and reflect on their own spiritual journey.

With clarity and compassion, Maharishikaa deconstructs Cohen’s downfall, which She had revealed to him during a private meeting he sought with her in Tiruvannamalai in 2020. She explains to Christopher that people like Andrew are not ill-intentioned—they are simply not present in their bodies. She rejects his concept of ‘evolutionary enlightenment,’ stating unequivocally that there is no evolution or devolution of consciousness. While the idea may appear intellectually compelling, it is nothing but conceptual gymnastics—far from reality.

In pursuit of this ideal, Cohen moved beyond the emotional, beyond other realms of consciousness inherent to the body, out into cosmic states; and in doing so became detached and incapable of feeling or responding to the emotional experiences of his students. This detachment, Maharishkaa explains, ultimately led his students to rebel and bring him down from the pedestal they themselves had helped place him on.

Maharishikaa emphasizes the critical importance for any spiritual Guru to remain grounded—standing on the earth with both feet firmly planted—no matter how many people may exalt them. Cohen, instead of standing rooted within himself, allowed himself to be swayed by his students.

Praising him as someone who contributed greatly to opening people up to spirituality, She recounts that in their 2020 meeting, as Maharishikaa guided him to descend back into the body, Cohen spoke of “reintegration.” She graciously credits him with her own use of this term in her teachings.

Maharishikaa sheds light on what may have been his greatest misstep: becoming a Guru without the blessing of his own Guru. Tragedies like the one Cohen experienced occur when such core principles of Guruvaada are disregarded on a spiritual journey.

Addressing Christopher’s current state—his ability to remain in surrender even while experiencing pain and energy blocks—Maharishikaa affirms that true surrender enables one to endure the inevitable sufferings of life without being destabilized. As he continues with his surrender practice, the energetic blocks he experiences, too, will dissolve.

Reminding Christopher of the human-ness of his former Guru, and saying that Andrew Cohen did eventually realize his mistakes—Maharishikaa tells him it’s time for him to forgive Andrew. She assures him that he is on a good track, and to continue this Saadhanaa of surrender.

In this masterpiece, Maharishikaa deconstructs traditional approaches to neo advaita, non duality, spiritual awakening, and surrender, bringing clarity to Christina and Peter as they grapple with their respective dilemmas. While Christina struggles with the contradiction between surrender and the premise “I am the Soul,” Peter seeks to understand the connection between surrender and karma (action).

Guiding Christina through the logical flaws inherent in a spiritual practice dominated by the statement, “I am That,” Maharishikaa explains that the very act of making such a declaration proves the existence and role of the body. She attributes identification with cosmic Soul—‘That’—to transcendental experiences that arose during the post-Vedic spiritual explorations of the cosmos, which influenced the philosophy of enlightenment and led seekers to experience a loss of personal identity.

Ushering in a groundbreaking perspective, Maharishikaa unveils a radically new practice, revealing that the future of spirituality lies in This-ness. She explains that this practice begins by acknowledging, “I am This,” and embracing everything the body is and does. The ‘I,’ now rooted in grounded identity, surrenders to the Soul within.

Maharishikaa brilliantly illustrates the duality in surrender through the Leela—the divine dance—between Radha and Krishna (the seeker and the sought), where one surrenders to the other. This sacred play would cease to exist under the premise, “I am the Soul.” She invites Christina to reflect: if she identifies with the Soul, how does surrender come into play, and what is the purpose of embodiment? Compassionately addressing Christina’s realization that her prior concepts and practices no longer align, Maharishikaa guides her toward true surrender, which ultimately leads to discovering the Soul within.

Addressing Peter’s perception of surrender as non-action, Maharishikaa explains that surrender is rooted in action. Peter, as the ‘I,’ actively bends in surrender to the Soul, especially in moments when the ego seeks control. The more he acts based on the Soul’s Impulse, the more joy he experiences; the more he resists the Truth, the more suffering he experiences.

Maharishikaa unmasks the origin of the pride Peter frequently experiences—uncertainty stemming from fear. She propounds that fear dissipates when one is connected with the Truth. She urges him to take up this practice of surrender and discernment, approaching it with love, yearning for Truth, and the intent to be its instrument.

Maharishikaa assures him that as he surrenders to the Truth, he will experience profound joy.

Maharishikaa comments on the grave, unfolding India vs Pakistan war — a conflict heavy with the weight of India's immeasurable suffering over decades at the hands of Islamic terrorists; in response to a question from Mitesh Thakkar.

Tracing the historical roots of the conflict, Maharishikaa explains that Pakistan was once an integral part of Bhaarat, before the British colonial rulers applied their divide and rule strategy, leading to the partition of the subcontinent. She boldly states that Pakistan has no identity as a land, because the people living there have always been Bhaaratiyas (Indians), artificially detached from the motherland. Maharishikaa highlights the absurd foundations of the two-nation theory — the demand for a separate nation for Muslims, leaving Bhaarat to Hindus — which is contradicted by the reality that both nations continue to have similar Muslim populations.

She states with clarity that the current escalation marks the beginning of Bhaarat’s reunification — a return to wholeness that will eventually include not only Pakistan, but also Afghanistan, Bangladesh, and other regions that were once integral to Bhaarat. She affirms that India is to take repossession of Pakistan occupied Kashmir, restoring to India all of Jammu & Kashmir.

Speaking on Islam and its ideology, Maharishikaa prophesies that just as Christianity had to reform its extreme stance, Islam too will evolve and adapt to survive the growing pushback from across the world. The regrouping of the subcontinent will mark the beginning of the struggle against a foreign ideology’s attempt to suppress the spiritual freedom of Sanatana Dharma in Bhaarat — the world’s most ancient, still-living civilization.

Maharishikaa foretells that in the short term, Pakistan occupied Kashmir will return to India. In the long term, Pakistan will break up into its constituent states, which will be absorbed into Bhaarat — driven primarily by economic necessity. She poetically describes the historical prosperity of Bhaarat: a civilization that led the world in wealth, knowledge, and culture. A non-expansionist people rooted in the pursuit of Truth — studying everything from astrology to zoology — Bhaarat thrived as a land of immeasurable knowledge.

She warns of the deepening regional instability, intensified by continuous acts of terrorism. The recent Pahalgam attack — a horrific terrorist attack in Kashmir — underscores the tragic pattern of aggression. In Pahalgam, Kashmir, during this latest Kashmir attack, Hindus were targeted and executed, while others were spared based on religion.

She speaks of the sad inevitability of bloodshed in such a war — to end the wave of terrorism that Bhaarat has long endured. The brutal violence in Jammu Kashmir is a testament to the cost of freedom and reunification.

Maharishikaa affirms that Sanatana Dharma is not just for Bhaarat, but stands for the absolute spiritual freedom of all seekers, across the world. She calls for the victory of this motherland: Bhaarat Maata ki Jai!
