How does transmission help us to be free of the shackles of these impressions that we have been carrying from one life to another life? They are not something physical to be removed. They are like wrinkles in clothes that have to be ironed to be removed; the samskaras that create ripples in the mind, their wrinkles have to be removed. How can they be removed? Proper understanding and an even deeper level of realization. And what gives us this deeper realisation of any situation?
Somehow, transmission irons things out. We could describe it by saying, “In a magical way.” It is something we cannot express. Transmission goes to the very root of the samskara and removes it. At times, it allows it to dissolve or evaporate so as to bring the settling vibrations of impressions to zero.

Question: Hi Srikanth, is there any vedic reference for this
Transmission(Pranahuthi) is age old technique. Gurus of the past transmitted there own spiritual achievement only to selective disciples. Then we here the guru passed on his grace which made the disciple the next successor or that particular disciple attained jnana. In this case there was no shastras taught to the disciple, no verbal communication happened just a mere transmission. There are many methods and ways of transmission. But our adi guru Lalaji maharaj re-discovered this age old technique through which many can be transformed and the technique is using the will power and transmitting the essence to the abhyasis heart. Our heartfullness system our gurus did not limit this transmission to few selective individuals where as they extended it to everyone who is willing.
Yes’. We do have many such references in ancient texts where the Yogic energy or the divine energy was transmitted by the teacher to the disciple, resulting in the transformation of the latter. We shall see just a few of them here.
The Yoga Vasishtha, ascribed to the legendary saint Valmiki (who wrote the Ramayana), contains reference of the great saint Vasishtha transforming his disciple lord Rama at once, using this method of transmission. Here three methods of Yogic transmission, viz., by touch, by sight and through words are mentioned(8) . The Sutasamhita, which forms part of Skandapurana, which is at least one thousand five hundreds years old, adds one more to the above list. It includes transmission through will power (or thought) and says that this is the subtlest and the highest method of transmission. It may be pointed here that Sahaj Marg adopts the same method.
In ancient and medieval Sufi systems, this technique of transmission from the heart was known as Tavajjhoh. It may also be noted that ancient Chinese Buddhism also contains references to such practices. The 9th -10th cent A.D. text on Kashmir Saivism also contains references to such method of Yogic transmission adopted by the Master in effecting spiritual evolution of the disciples.
Lord Krishna transmitted the divine energy to Arjuna on the battle field and made him an immortal hero, as can be seen from the great epic Mahabharata.
In recent times, 19th cent, A.D. the great Master of Bengal, Swami Ramakrishna Paramahamsa transformed his disciple, Narendranath into a Yogi of immortal fame viz., Swami Vivekananda, through the method of transmission of divine energy, Such is the efficiency of this method. The tradition has continued from generation to generation for thousands of years.
