Vedavyas, who was a leading exponent of Master CVV's Philosophy, in his book The Electronic Yoga of Master C.V.V. discusses about this new yoga system, Unlike traditional yoga in which one begins to work with first chakra and progress upwards, with the development of each chakra, giving greater spiritual awareness, in this system, the crown chakra opens first and radiated energy downwards. Master C.V.V compares the body to a battery with the left side conveying negative electronic current through Ida Nadi and right side carrying the positive current of the Pingala Nadi. When folded palms are brought together, sparking is produced in the heart chakra. Vedavyas also discusses numerology, astrology, latent power of intelligence and the striking similarities he finds in the work of Madame Blavatsky, George Gurdjieff, Sri Aurobindo, Ramana Maharshi and Master C.V.V. in a hash of zealous prose, not to mention the serendipitous significance of the year 1910 in the lives of all these people and cosmic events surrounding the arrival of Halley's Comet.[11]
