The document describes the spiritual meanings represented by the fingers in the "Baba Mudra" hand gesture. 1) Each finger symbolizes an aspect of spiritual science - the little finger represents the physical body, the ring finger the mind, the middle finger the intellect, the index finger the individual self, and the thumb the cosmic self. 2) The Baba Mudra involves folding the ring and middle fingers with the thumb, signifying controlling the mind and intellect through connecting with the cosmic self during meditation. 3) Practicing the right form of meditation, such as anapanasati, allows one to transform their worldly mind and intellect into spiritual counterparts, achieving enlightenment.

1. BABA CONCEPT
BABA MUDRA
The HUMAN HAND has
five fingers
Little finger
Ring finger
Middle finger
Index finger
Thumb finger

2. These different fingers symbolize
different concepts in the field of
SPIRITUAL SCIENCE :
Little finger - Physical Body
Ring finger - Mind
Middle finger - Intellect
Index finger - Individual self
Thumb finger - Cosmic self

3. “ the physical body ”
The ‘LITTLE FINGER’ represents the
PHYSICAL BODY.
The PHYSICAL BODY is obtained
from the physical parents and the
earth elements. PHYSICAL BODY is
the part of the totality of our Self !
That is why it is represented by the
LITTLE FINGER !
When we were a small kid, we used
to say “Teacher ! Teacher ! ” and we
used to show the little finger too
indicate the nature call !

4. “ the mind ”
The ‘ RING FINIGER ’
represents the MIND.
When two hearts.. When two
minds.. Meet and vibrate.. at
the same frequency, there is a
marriage effected and rings
are exchanged on the RING
FINGER ! Not on any other
finger !

5.  THE MIND is obtained from the Society.
If we grew up in a Hindu family, we will have a
Hindu mind. If we are born and brought up in
a Christian family, we will come to posses a
Christian mind.. And so on and so forth.
 Further, the RING FINGER is much
bigger than the little finger.. The indication is
that the “MIND” is so much more important
than the “ PHYSICAL BODY ” .
 THE MIND, in fact, is the total conotroller
of the physical body.

6. “ the intellect ”
The ‘ MIDDLE FINGER ’ represents the
INTELLECT.
THE INTELLECT differentiates
between good and the bad.. Truth and
the un-truth.. Right and the wrong..
Correct and the incorrect.. Propriety
and impropriety.. beautiful and the
ugly.. Irrespective of the society
factors.
Where as THE MIND is automatically
prejudiced, the INTELLECT is less
prejudiced and more un- prejudiced.

7. 1. The intellect is the sum-total distillate of all the
Experiences of a soul, encompassing all its Karmas,
in all its Existences.
2. Experiences from all our previous Life-Times
becomes the SOURCE-NUCLEUS of present
Intellect. THE INTELLECT is the END-RESULT of
the totality of the Soul’s earth-time history.
3. We do observe that the MIDDLE FINGER is bigger
than the ring finger. THE INTELLECT is far greater
than THE MIND !
4. The totality of all lives’ experiences is far greater than
this particular life’s experience, this particular
society’s general thinking.

8. “ the individual self ”
The ‘ INDEX FINGER ’
represents the INDIVIDUAL SELF.
When we point out somebody, we
use the INDEX-FINGER, not any other
finger !
In fact, we are not just our
physical body; we are not just our
mind; we are not just our intellect. We
are the ATMA ... The SOUL.. The
SELF.
THE ATMA.. is what most rightly
we are ! ATMA is nothing but an
eternal speck of Consciousness and
Energy and Wisdom ! The Individual

9. “ the cosmic self ”
 The ‘ THUMB FINGER ’ represents
the COSMIC SELF.

 The SOURCE-ORIGIN of Individual Self
is the Cosmic Self.

 We are all different from each other in
our Physical Bodies, Minds and the
Intellects respectively.
 However, we have the same ATMIC
SOURCE and WE ARE ALL ONE AT THE
LEVEL OF ATMA.
 The SOURCE-ORIGIN-INFINITE
SELF of the infinite number of Individual
selves is called as the Cosmic Self. The
SOURCE-ORIGIN-INFINTE SELF is
otherwise called as “ BRAHMATMA ” OR
“ SARVA BHUTHATMA”

10. “Mamatma Sarva Bhuthatma”
“ My Individual Self is
The Cosmic Self Common To All
Beings ”
The Cosmic SELF is represented by
the ‘THUMB FINGER’ . Victory is ever
indicated by the THUMB FINGER. Let us
all strive to become grandly victorious !

11. “ BABA MUDRA ”
The “ BABA MUDRA ” has the ring finger and
middle finger folded by the thumb finger. The
other two fingers not touched are the little finger
and the index finger .
The significance is that there is no need to tamper
with the physical body in our spiritual endevour !
we should never trouble the Physical Body..
Never !
The physical body, in itself, is absolutely glorious
and wonderful and is a pinnacle achievements of
the Nature which is guided by the NATURE
SPIRITS.

12. No attempts to practice difficult Hatha Yoga !
No impossible Sheersha Asanas !
Enjoy the Physical Body !
 The second finger .. i.e., ring finger .. i.e. mind …
must, however be controlled. THE MIND must be
thoroughly disciplined, and should be totally
rectified.
 All the prejudices and stupidities of the SOCIETY
are reflected truly in the INDIVIDUAL MIND ! Such
prejudices and stupidities of the Society hamper an
individual’s sanity and enlightenment. Liquidating
all the prejudices and stupidities of the Society in
an individual’s mind is the process of meditation.

13.  What can tame the mind ? THE COSMIC SELF
! However, that should be ‘ agreed upon ’ by
the Individual Self .
 When the Individual Self wants to see that it’ s
mind needs to be rectified and purified, it goes
into meditation. Then, the COSMIC SELF takes
over, purifies and rectifies the Mind by means
of it’s COSMIC ENERGY / COSMIC MIND .
 This is the symbolic meaning of the RING
FINGER being controlled by the THUMB
FINGER in the “BABA UDRA ”.

14.  Similarly, the limited INTELLECT ,i.e., the
MIDDLE FINGER, also, needs to be tamed..
Because the limited wordly INTELLECT
represents “ HALF KNOWLEDGE ” ! And
half Knowledge is absolutely dangerous !
 HALF KNOWLEDGE is rectified only by
FULL KNOWLEDGE ! And, COSMIC SELF
alone is FULL KNOWLEDGE.
 This is the symbolic meaning of the
MIDDLE FINGER being controlled by
THUMB FINGER in the “ BABA MUDRA ” !
 When the Individual Self ‘ decides ’ to
become Enlightened, it chooses to go into

15. When the individual self chooses meditation.
Then, the COSMIC SELF takes over and
transforms the limited INTELLECT.. The
wordly INTELLECT .. With its spiritual
intelligence and spiritual knowledge.. Also
called as .. “ BUDDHI ”.
Transformation of “ WORDLY INTELLECT ”
into buddhi.. Also called as “ SPIRITUAL
INTELLECT ” IS CALLED AS JNANA YOGA
happens , automatically , and naturally, in
DHYANA YOGA .

16. The sum and essence of “
Baba concept ”
Ring finger rectified = Dhyana Yoga
Middle finger rectified = Jnana Yoga
 Traveling from a state of “ THE MIND ”
to a state of “ THE BUDDHI ” .. That is
called as MEDITATION, or SPIRITUALITY
or SPIRITUAL SCIENCE, or
ENLIGHTENMEBNT !

17.  DO MEDITATION .. DO
RIGHT MEDITATION ..
 DO ANAPANASATI
MEDITATION BECOME A
PERFECT MASTER..
BECOME A BABA !
