==Philosophy and spiritual vision==
Master C.V.V founder new yoga system known by the name "Bhrikta Rahita Taraka Raja Yoga" or "Electronic Yoga" in 1910 with a goal to make changes to human format and to cosmic forces influencing human format in order to give eternal life to humanity.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=mw7FfKIr4YUC&pg=PA121|title=Occult Meditations|publisher=Dhanishta Publications|isbn=978-8189467043|page=121|author=K. Parvathi Kumar|year=2006}}</ref>

"Bhrikta Rahita Taraka Raja Yoga", means the [[Raja Yoga]] that neutralises the accumulated past [[Karma]].

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 [[Muladhara|first chakra]] and progress upwards, with the development of each [[chakra]], giving greater [[Enlightenment (spiritual)|spiritual awareness]], in this system, the [[Sahasrara|crown chakra]] opens first and radiated energy downwards. Master C.V.V compares the body to a [[Electric battery|battery]] with the left side conveying negative electronic current through [[Nadi (yoga)|Ida Nadi]] and right side carrying the positive current of the [[Nadi (yoga)|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]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CS9zBgAAQBAJ&pg=PA232|title=Yoga: An Annotated Bibliography of Works in English, 1981-2005|page=232|author=Daren Callahan|date=28 January 2015|publisher=McFarland|accessdate=28 January 2015|isbn=978-1476607023}}</ref>

Master CVV calls his disciples as mediums. At present Master CVV yoga is spread throughout the world. Now Master CVV's mediums are actively involved in conducting courses to the new incoming mediums.<ref>{{cite book|title=Triveni: Journal of Indian Renaissance, Volume 53|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nDM6AAAAIAAJ|page=93|publisher=Triveni Publishers|year=1984}}</ref>

During his lifetime Master CVV developed several courses for regulating the planets and rectifications. Master MTA is the guru of Master CVV. He is one of the Greatest Spiritual scientist of our times. His yoga is called the electronic yoga. It works instantaneously when invoked. The regular time for doing this prayer is Morning 6.00 AM and Evening 6.00 PM. During his life period Master CVV cured many people from sufferings of various diseases that were not curable.<ref>{{cite book|title=Triveni: Journal of Indian Renaissance, Volume 71|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cZ1hv8ZFgpIC|page=19|publisher=Triveni Publishers|year=2002}}</ref>
