On the evening of the 6th day, we were to do a sweat lodge (temazcal). It was my first experience of being in a temazcal. When we stepped out of the temazcal, we were asked to lie down on the ground & hug mother earth. When I was doing so, I felt a heart beat on my palms. I didn’t know what was happening & wondered if I was feeling my own heartbeat on my palms !!!! I asked Bhagavan to give me a sign if what I was experiencing was really true & I changed my position on the ground. I didn’t feel anything on my palms for a while, then again I could feel a heartbeat on my palm. It was then than I realized that it was the heartbeat of mother earth. Believe me, if I hadn’t experienced it, I don’t know how much I would have believed it if anyone had told me about it. I didn’t know what it meant & shared my experience with everyone in the group.
On returning home, when I was sharing the heartbeat experience of mother earth with my friend’s mom in India, she told me that she had heard that if one experiences the heart beat of mother earth, it symbolizes the attainment of mukti. I haven’t heard of any other explanations for these experiences that I had. If anyone could offer some insights, they are welcome.
I would like to add that the above mentioned experiences are what I experienced. Anyone could debate regarding the authenticity of the experience. As Bhagavan says, “Experience things & it would become YOUR truth”.
I don't mean to debate on your experience, but the heart beat was not mother earth, it was your own blood you "felt" flowing in your palms. Try to concentrate on any other body part, and after a while you'll feel the beat on that area. That however is the very first level of meditation.
That blood is already there, but you feel it when you concentrate.
Put your palms together as if holding air, and keep it that way for a while. After a while you'll feel the beat again (although you are not hugging mother earth this time).
You can also experience the same by just touching the tips of your fingers (tip of thumb to tip of index finger, and a little concentration)
"Mukti" cannot be achieved by listening to something, it is instead a thing to "know". Thoughts/idea of being a body, and not a soul is the state of entrapment. When you "know" that you are not just a body, but a soul, you have attained Mukti. Even if you keep thinking that "I am a soul" is not mukti. You need to know it.
The very best thing about God and mukti and religion is that you already have the power to find them yourself. This is how each and every saint has done it. They used the power they had within to know GOD.
Use the vedas, writtings/findings of saints as guidelines and walk the road yourself.
Also do not try to find mukti, or anything else. Concentrate on finding (actually "knowing") GOD. Once you know him, everything else is automatically attained.
You do not have to find god cause he's already everywhere. You can only try to know him.
Trust me, you don't want to wait for Kalki. By then it'll be too late, and he'll just be here to kill.
The purpose of kalki incarnation is not to kill, but to protect the righteous.
You need not entertain claims of being kalki incarnations as He is also not on a hunt to find followers.
Kalki is not his name but something that governs/tells the priority of emotions in him. Anger against wrong, and kindness for righteous. He is more kind than angry (although very angry, but even more kind).

I'm sorry if I have offended anyone here.
Thanks
