Teleportation

The word teleportation is composed of the Greek root telos, meaning “at a distance”, and the Latin root portare, “to carry” or to move.

Teleportation means to move an object over a long distance. What it also means, although this is not included in the word, is that the object leaves one location and arrives at the other without travelling by any means of transportation available at the present time.

Modern science regards teleportation as a new concept requiring new technology. Actually, it is a lost science, which used to be common in the ancient world. Researchers understand the theory involved, but no one yet has developed the necessary equipment.

Science of Teleportation

For most people, teleportation is the stuff that science fiction films are made of.

In the Harry Potter World, teleportation is often used although it is called apparition, a spell which allows the user to instantaneously teleport from one location to another. American Star Trek films give a strong visual impression of the spaceship crew dissolving into beams of light, and then seeing those beams reassemble into human forms in a different location. But is this really possible in daily life, in today’s world as we know it?

Though the mystic disciplines of the world have always understood and played with the phenomenon of teleportation, modern science is only just beginning to understand that teleportation can be a real possibility in our dimension.

However, there is a distinct and essential difference between the way science and mystery schools define teleportation.

Western Science and Teleportation

Science defines teleportation as the process by which an object is dematerialized and essential information about its atomic structure is sent to another point in space, where the object is instantaneously ‘rematerialized’ or reassembled into its component atoms. Explained using quantum mechanics, teleportation is a mechanism by which information of the exact state of an atom can be transmitted from one location to another. In this process, information is transported from one location to another using an entangled quantum state. Known as ‘quantum teleportation’, this process involves a phenomenon called ‘entanglement’ which is possible only on a micro-scale.

As mentioned earlier, in classical terms, information is called a “Bit” and in quantum mechanics it is called a “Qubit”.

Whereas quantum entanglement allows teleportation to happen instantaneously, recreation of masses larger than an atom would also need a classical information link between the 2 locations. This link cannot process information faster than the speed of light, and thus, there will be a time delay from Point A to Point B for teleportation to occur.

There is physical evidence of teleportation of structures ranging from Sacred Ash, to larger objects across continents, e.g. from Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam, Bengaluru Aadheenam, to several international locations (outside of India).

In physics laboratories, the largest distance of experimental teleportation is 143 kms. Larger masses made up of multiple atoms would require more time for reassembly, as they still need to use the classical channel in spite of information having preceded it instantaneously through quantum entanglement.

Quantum teleportation is actually a process of replication similar to cloning or ‘biological faxing’, where the same information is used to create a duplicate exactly like the original object. The object itself is not teleported but only information about it is captured and used. The main difference between teleportation as science knows it, and more conventional forms of sending information from one place to another, is that this is a process of instantaneous transportation.

Early Experiments in Teleportation

In 1998, for the rst time, a team of researchers at California Institute of Technology successfully teleported a photon across a distance of approximately one meter. However, in the process, the original object was destroyed.

Since then, a number of teleportation experiments have been performed.

In 2006, physicists at the Niels Bohr Institute (Denmark), led by Eugene Polzik teleported photons across half a meter and used them to illuminate a cloud of atoms. This was considered a milestone, because it involved teleportation between light and matter.

In 2013, the research group succeeded in teleporting information between two clouds of gas atoms and to carry out the teleportation – not just one or a few times, but successfully every single time. The results were published in the scienti c journal, Nature Physics.

In stark contrast to these efforts, the teleportation of whole objects and even people is a well-defined practice in the mystical tradition. Unlike in the scientific context, it is not just the vital information about the object, but the object itself which is teleported.

Vedic Science of Teleportation

The Vedic science of teleportation works on the premise that matter and energy are inter-convertible. Just as the pattern of sound waves in a telephone is carried by an electric current from the source to the destination, where it is ‘reconverted’ to sound, an object to be teleported is simply dissolved into energy at the source, and transported through space to be reassembled at its destination.

Although we say ‘simply dissolved’, the complexity of the process and the mastery of mind over matter required here is unimaginable. Teleportation and other siddhis (spiritual powers) are gained only by a lifetime (or lifetimes) of arduous spiritual discipline and the grace of the Divine.

All materials cannot be teleported with equal success, as only certain materials can withstand the extreme rigors of being pulled apart at the atomic level, converted into energy vibrations, transmitted through space and then distilled into matter again. An object with a weak molecular structure will be pulverized during the process of teleportation, and could never be reassembled again.

Accounts of Teleportation

Paramahamsa Yogananda, in his Autobiography of a Yogi, tells of an amulet that was teleported into his mother’s hands from her guru, Lahiri Mahasaya. She had taken Yogananda as a new baby to be blessed by the guru, who immediately recognized that the child would become a great mystic. He told the young mother that a talisman would come to her which she should give to her son when he showed interest in spirituality, and that once it had accomplished its task it would disappear. A silver amulet with sacred markings landed in her hands during meditation soon afterwards, and ultimately passed to Yogananda at her death. He kept it faithfully until one day it disappeared,just as prophesied. That same day he met his beloved guru and teacher, Sri Yukteshwar.

Another account comes from the childhood of Paramahamsa Nithyananda, who received a conch shell (used for blowing musically during temple ceremonies) from his teacher, Raghupati Yogi. Raghupati Yogi was an accomplished siddha whom many witnesses observed displaying multiple extraordinary abilities. He could levitate, shatter an iron chain around his chest by taking a deep breath, call snakes from their holes and birds from the sky, go for many days easily without food or water, and other feats beyond ordinary human capacity.

When the conch landed in his hands, Paramahamsa Nithyananda believed it had been materialized, but when he examined it he found a date carved on it, and thought his guru was tricking him. Raghupati Yogi explained that it had been teleported from his own home into the boy’s hands; it was a pre-existing object, transported from a distant location.

This account underscores the difference between teleportation and materialization. It is related in Paramahamsa Nithyananda’s biography, Nithyananda Vol 1.
