Download or read book Kundalini the Mother of Incredible Power written by Hseham Atina and published by Mahesh Dutt Sharma. This book was released on 2023-12-06 with total page 89 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kundalini is frequently used to allude to the force of the divine presence in every individual. She has two viewpoints. One keeps up with the whole presence of our body, psyche, and soul. The other angle, considered lethargic, is the force of awareness to know the divine in its boundlessness as self. This expected power, natural to us all, can move our mindfulness from the miserable restrictions of individual presence, with every one of its needs, necessities, and inadequacies, to unity consciousness—the radiant attention to our divine self, boundless and widely inclusive. Represented by a wound snake sleeping in the focal point of earth-bound cognizance, this part of Kundalini anticipates the extraordinary arousing, the most significantly significant occasion in the long existence of the spirit, a daily existence that reaches out over endless patterns of actual birth and demise. Kundalini is a term from the yogic custom for the force of the divine. Kundalini is the maker of the universe and perceives herself thusly. Kundalini has been classified as "the essence of God." Just as we remember somebody by their face, we perceive the divine by its force of cognizance, Kundalini. Kundalini garments the undefined in structure, that gives the absolute a face to love, a presence to rouse, customs to respect and a group of shrewdness to serve and guide. In the Indian customs, they worship Kundalini as a Goddess, the Great Mother who brings forth all that is. She is viewed as taking on restrictions, contracting, and gathering to shape the material world. She is the fundamental energy, more essential than atomic power which is the premise of what our identity is and all that we experience. At the point when our restricted brain is implanted with the extraordinary force of cognizance, we know straightforwardly the reality of our solidarity with the Divine and all its creation. Each profound practice has its name for Kundalini—Holy Spirit, grace, anima, chi, bodhicitta, and each holy person and spiritualist has known her approval. Searchers in all ways need her beauty to prevail on their excursions. Therefore, yogis, priests, and spiritual practitioners have engaged in awakening the Kundalini in some way or another.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1965, Swami Shivom Tirth spent some time with his spiritual master Swami Vishnu Tirth Maharaj (Maharajshri) in Jagannathpuri. During the twenty days in Jagannathpuri, he enjoyed meditation and spiritual conversations with Maharajshri to his heart?s content. As such Maharajshri usually stayed in the divine state, but since there was no one here to disrupt this state, Maharajshri was constantly in a meditative state. Even while conversing, his state of divinity was maintained. This book is a compilation of Maharajshri?s experiences regarding Swami Gangadhar Tirth Maharaj and Kalikishore (Swami Narayan Tirth Dev Maharaj, Baba), which he discussed with the author in Jagannathpuri. Whatever Maharajshri experienced, he narrated it to the author verbatim. There was no mental interference by Maharajshri in these experiences. It was like someone watching the television and narrating it to you. Maharajshri?s inner-eyes were awake and active, hence everything was visible to him.

Download or read book In the Company of Sages written by Greg Bogart and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-01-30 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explains how to successfully navigate the process of initiation, instruction, testing, and self-transformation under the guidance of a spiritual teacher • Explores how to approach a teacher for initiation and the importance of gauging your inner response and feeling of trust and resonance with the teacher • Discusses the process of separating from a spiritual teacher and how to negotiate the emotional conflicts that can arise at this stage • Shares the author's experiences with several remarkable teachers and details lessons learned through testing and confronting doubts and fears In the search for inner awakening and self-realization, a spiritual mentor can be key to advancement. Yet the process of finding an authentic spiritual teacher who resonates with you can be daunting, especially for anyone who has had a negative experience with a guide. Exploring the emotional nuances of mentoring relationships, Greg Bogart details the path of spiritual apprenticeship: the process of aligning with a teacher, establishing a dynamic spiritual practice, and the later stages of separation and finding the teacher within. The author explores the importance of gauging your inner response and feeling of trust and resonance with a teacher and your readiness to receive initiation. He explains how the teacher-student relationship affects the student’s state of consciousness over time and how most students eventually need to become independent from their spiritual guides. Describing emotional conflicts that can arise at this stage, he shows how wise teachers accept our need to separate and graduate while immature teachers try to thwart and control us. Openly sharing his own personal journey, the author illustrates the lasting resonance of his encounters with several provocative spiritual mentors, including Swami Muktananda and Dane Rudhyar. He discusses how some fierce teachers practice "crazy wisdom" to confront our doubts, fears, and fixations and to activate our dormant potentials. Examining practices in Hindu and Tibetan Buddhist Yoga, Sufism, and Jewish and Christian mysticism, he also explores the deeper mystical aspects of the guru-student relationship. The author shows how, ultimately, initiation leads the spiritual seeker to find the teacher within and how this can naturally lead to teaching others. Describing nine stages of the spiritual seeker’s journey, the author affirms that a direct path to self-liberation is still attainable through initiation and instruction in the company of sages.

Download or read book Transcendent in America written by Lola Williamson and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yoga, karma, meditation, guru—these terms, once obscure, are now a part of the American lexicon. Combining Hinduism with Western concepts and values, a new hybrid form of religion has developed in the United States over the past century. In Transcendent in America, Lola Williamson traces the history of various Hindu-inspired movements in America, and argues that together they constitute a discrete category of religious practice, a distinct and identifiable form of new religion. Williamson provides an overview of the emergence of these movements through examining exchanges between Indian Hindus and American intellectuals such as Thomas Jefferson and Ralph Waldo Emerson, and illuminates how Protestant traditions of inner experience paved the way for Hindu-style movements’ acceptance in the West. Williamson focuses on three movements—Self-Realization Fellowship, Transcendental Meditation, and Siddha Yoga—as representative of the larger of phenomenon of Hindu-inspired meditation movements. She provides a window into the beliefs and practices of followers of these movements by offering concrete examples from their words and experiences that shed light on their world view, lifestyle, and relationship with their gurus. Drawing on scholarly research, numerous interviews, and decades of personal experience with Hindu-style practices, Williamson makes a convincing case that Hindu-inspired meditation movements are distinct from both immigrant Hinduism and other forms of Asian-influenced or “New Age” groups.
