There's even more higher realm, the PARABRAMHA...above all the Gods no matter what it is Shiva, Vishnu or Bramha....

Hi, this kinda stuff happened a lot during mantra japa period but it is not that U r getting any siddhis. It's the vibration of Mantra that creats such things. But still, it's rare. Well, what Mantra you are doing? Mantra too affects the vibration. I hope you are doing the deities kinda mantra n not doing any to please Itar yoni creatures. THe vibration could be of bad and good depending upon the place you are doing Mantra japa and your determintaion too plays a significant role. The foremost thing is are you doing mantra japa after the initiation from any capable Guru? If without GUru, then could be anything. regards

Hi,Well, people born in Brahmin families are not really a brahmin according to the scriptures...people with knowledge are only true brahmin. There's a verse( i forgot the origin) "Janmano Jaayate Sudra" means anyone is Sudra by birth meaning the Karma makes people true brahmin. There's a huge crowd of Brahmin who don't got a bit of Knowledge in Scriptures and live like a Sudra...drink, eat meat, and go for all the stuffs against the morale of a typical Brahmin. I am too a brahmin caste but I am not a total brahmin coz I am not with even a bit of knowledge. Brahmin are those who can creat a fire with an angry eye. In ancient times brahmins used to possess really an awesome powers.So, pls don't regard those biased people brahmins, rather do some Sammohan sadhanas or Vasikarana Sadhanas and get that prejudiced fellow under your arm.regards

Yeah sure you started Yoga before I was born and my 16 yers is not a big thing at all, I agree. Time is nothing in the Knowleddge. Even a pinch of time would be far more bigger to get enlightened than a vegitating years. ANd our age doesn't show that we are with the proper knowledge. Well, then with that much lotta knowledge would you mind guiding me into the KUNDALINI AWAKENING and how to get into the SAMADHI state ??? And thanks for reminding me of my arrogance stating the time.

Dear Guruvani, Thanks for the stuffs. i'll be waiting for the words.

Thanks brother. Well, would you mind telling me a bit about these sadhanas??? Well, does it relate us to Kundalini Awakening too ??? Any manifestation of the divine powers ??? regards

Ah ah, Well, what should I think this remark is, humorous???LOL. Brother, let's not speak out of our anger or ignorance. Well,I'm not vaisnav or anything, I hate to get introduced through religion or any sects. More than 16 years of search for the truth landed me with some reality, and I'd love dying for the sake of this knowledge. What we've been doing is just mere DISCUSSIONS which would probably make us SCHOLARS...full of arguments...but not a least a devotee or a lover of Krsna or any. We gotta wake up

Hi, Murli_Mohan_Das, I agree. I'm a bit not aware of upanishads, sorry. But I'll be enquiring it. WEll, Guruvani, I'm not promoting any ashram here. I just posted the things relevant to our time. Simply the discussions could make you a scholar but never could reach you to the divinity. Spiritualism is beyond this. It's up to us what we perceive from such things. We love to discuss because it's easy but, finding a Guru and go through the tests to be the best is really severe and we are afraid of the adversaries and the tests we are to go through. Simple talkings won't do anything except feeding our ego unconsciously deep rooted.

<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0 rowpadding="0" rowspacing="0"><TBODY><TR><TD> </TD><TD><CENTER>GURU, THE MENTOR OF ONE'S LIFE </CENTER></TD><TD> </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><CENTER></CENTER> How can the disciple attain perfection, and give excellence to his life? How can he accumulate the qualities of a good disciple? A reflection, study and contemplation on these points, through this article... The word "Shishya" means to come near. It also means closeness, proximity and nearness. Therefore, a disciple. in the true sense of the word, is one who comes closest to the Guru, touches the live chords of the heart of Guru and finds a place therein and becomes one with him, all with a feeling of total dedication. Virogopnishad lays down six qualities for a disciple in order to achieve perfection in this direction. A person or Sadhak attains perfection to the extent he is able to accumulate these qualities within himself. The six qualities mentioned in the Virogopnishad are as follows :- (1) The word "Shishya" also signifies dedication. The depth of dedication to the Guru determines the excellence of the disciple. Dedication admits no conditions. It has to be feeling oriented and not reason oriented. You may be a doctor, advocate or a big industrialist but the social status has nothing to do with the feeling of dedication. Those who dedicate themselves before the Guru without any pre-conditions and status considerations are really competent to become disciples. (2) A disciple has no personal desire or ambition. Before the Guru, he has to be like a simple child even though he may be holding a high post, or may be otherwise great or powerful financially. All these things are secondary, since before the Guru, a disciple is like a lump of clay without any form or size. Only with this feeling of humility can a person prove to be a good disciple. If a disciple continues to be prejudiced that he is very learned, is a professor, lawyer, industrialist or a high officer, the distance between him and the Guru continues and their, identities remain separate. It is therefore, obligatory for the disciple that whenever he appears before the Guru he should put aside all his titles and distinctions. Only then can there be a mutual accord with the Guru. (3) The disciple’s mind should basically be governed by true feelings and not by arguments, since the arguments result in ill-reasonings later on. If you have accepted someone as a Guru, it is evident that you have considered him to be more significant than your own self and that he is far advanced than you in a particular field. In such a case you have no right to argue with him unless you too achieve the knowledge in the field of his specialization and this knowledge can be gained only if you are able to win over the feelings of Guru by reverence. If the Guru gives any direction there should be no questions. His direction is above all things in life and to obey it is the main duty and function of the disciple. If you are inclined to argue things out and have ifs and buts in your mind, then it is better not to have a Guru at all. But once you have accepted a Guru there should be no ifs and huts. Only then can you achieve fusion with the Guru. (4) The disciple is not a judge and he has no right to test the Guru. If you consider it necessary, you can investigate and make inquiries, satisfy yourself by examining his individuality before accepting someone as Guru. But after becoming a disciple, the question of testing the Guru does not arise. Nor is he to be compared with any other Guru. To obey the order of the Guru should become the principle of one’s life. Any hesitation or doubt in following the orders of the Guru lessens the feeling of dedication. Therefore, whenever the disciple meets the Guru he should meet him with the feeling as if he is a mere child, irrespective of his status and position in personal life. (5) The word "Shishya" means nearness. The more near a disciple is to the Guru the greater will be the gains. You should remain physically present in the Guru s feet. If it is not possible, in the modern busy life, you should maintain proximity by correspondence or by telephonic conversation. If possible visit the Guru thrice or more times in a year and sit in his holy feet for a day or two. One should try to visit the Guru with the entire family at least once a year and try to attain something, from his divine presence. The Guru is also a member of the family. Rather he is the head of the family and it is the duty of the disciple to meet the Guru quite often and receive some guidance for the future. If you do not meet the Guru then how will you be able to receive anything from him. To remain in contact with the Guru and to identify himself with him is the duty of a disciple. (6) The direction given by the Guru is above all things. As a disciple, it is your duty to obey the directions. Something very important always lies hidden in the order of the Guru, though it may not be obvious at that time but with the passage of time, the disciple realises that the order given by the Guru earlier was for his own good. Therefore, whatever the orders of the Guru, it should not only be the duty, but the religion of the disciple to follow them. There should be no questions, no doubts or hesitations in obeying them. To obey the order of the Guru to the best of his ability and in the shortest possible time, has been considered the foremost duty of the disciple. According to Virogopnishad, the disciple who is able to assimilate the above qualities, is the real disciple. Therefore, before expecting anything from the Guru, one should introspect within, if he is a disciple in the true sense and fulfils the criterion laid down as above. If you fall short of the criterion how can you expect the Guru to fulfil your desires. The relations between the Guru and disciple are as delicate as a sheet of glass. A slight stroke causes a crack in it. Similarly, a slight difference with the Guru causes a strain in the relations, which turns into a wide gap. Therefore, the disciple should be constantly on the watch out , whether he is fulfilling all the criterion and should analyse this aspect from time to time. He should ask himself whether he has assimilated all the qualities necessary for a disciple and whether he has been able to become a perfect disciple. By such an analysis the heart becomes clear of all doubts and the chances of differences with the Guru are eliminated. The relations between the Guru and the disciple are not business like. There is no question of give and take between them. No feeling of remuneration for services done should be entertained by the disciple. There is no balance to measure or explain this exchange. The disciple has to remain as such and continue to march ahead on his path consistently. In clear words, the disciple has to remain like a child. His mental outlook should be one of dissatisfaction with sensual pleasures and evil social customs, on the same time maintaining concern and respect for the society in general. A disciple attains perfection by remaining disinterested in the outer world, by marching ahead on the path of duty, as directed by the Guru, and wishing for the general welfare of mankind. Such a disciple is always polite and without vanity and considers himself a nullity before the Guru. The most difficult Sadhana and devotion for a disciple is dedication in the feet of Guru and to assimilate the greatness of the Guru into himself. For achieving this goal, a disciple should continue to make great efforts. To be a real disciple, a man or woman has to subdue one’s ego, remain polite and face the world, remain in the feet of Guru and maintain a balance between himself and his family. Such a disciple is always prepared to sacrifice his social status, financial position and even his life to achieve the blessings of the Guru and thus to attain perfection. Complete dedication and surrender of one’s ego is the first step on the road to spiritual progress and this Shakti Sadhana (Sadhana of the Divine Energy) is possible only with the blessings of the Guru. Only with the above efforts, the disciple attains the qualities of the Guru and becomes a Guru himself. Others may address him as a Guru but he remains a disciple before his own Guru. These criterion, if maintained, bring him face to face with divinity. Only then, is he able to serve the mankind better and set an example for others to become good disciples. siddhashram.org

Hi, Diksha is essential. Without Diksha one can read and be in the state of Bhakti but won't be able to relate self to the consciouness. Diksha is a meadium to make our task easy. But the Diksha must be given by a capable Guru. There's difference between Guru and Sadguru, though all the sects calim their Guru is Sadguru but when the requirement being a Sadguru is so intensive how come any one could be the one??? Still there are lotta Gurus around.N such Gurus are like the Ph.D. scholars who got the mastery over any one subjects, they can extend their knowledge in few more subjects but acquiring all the knowledge in all fields ??? Only Sadguru can do that, full of knowledge and can even give life to the dead and can speak on any subject without intterruption. Krsna was incarnated by the supreme power as a Sadguru and there came another one but departed without any popularity. We Need a Guru if we want to advance further in Spiritualism. Well, it depends upon a person will what s/he exactly wants? Be in bhakti all life or defying all the hurdles and know the mysteries of the Universe reach the final destination ??? We need a Guru.

Sure we need a Guru. But Guru is categorized in many forms such as: Shikshyak ( teacher) who teaches not to drink/smoke but drinks/smokes hem/herself, Acharya- one who teaches and applies the things self and GURU- puts us into the light picking us up from the darkness, means spiritual realms. A Guru is like a scholar who talks whole life about the same things. Consider a Ph.D holder, who if continues can extend his knowledge in few more subjects. And then comes SADGURU, who can teach and talk about anything with no interruption, it may be Ayurveda, Astrology, Sun Science, Tantra, Philosophy, science, scriptures, soul, universe and holds the authority over the universe and iw with the ability to relate anyone to the divinity ...i mean anything. So our search must be limited to Sadguru only. Still, there are more catogories of Gurus like Para Guru, Pram Guru, Paratpar Guru, Paaramesthi Guru etc...each having own significant. We all are being fooled by so called Gurus around, be it in the name of YOga, be it in the name of Tantram, philosophy and so on.It's why no one ever could realize the divinity... Do you agree? regards

Hello there, it's nice of you to post it here. But, man, this path is full of mysteries...ask your Gurumata and Guru how they became to be like this and ask them if they allow you to ask where are the persons his/her Guru was trying to reach the perfection of sadhanas during his physical presence. And ask them whom their Guru appointed as an heir of his Knowledge !!! DO as much as sadhanas you can, you'll come to the realization of even a minute secrets of a whole lotta Gurus soon, but it's not the perfection. And ask them who is able to reach us to siddhasnram in this moment ??? regards

Aha , Murli_Mohan_Das, I agree you. BUT, The whole universe is dynamic and we creatures too. So, we need theories according to our recent need. It's what impelled us to come up with too many religions. N we tried to create Gods of our favor...stupidity, proper nonsense. The foremost thing is what we gonna do and how we gonna be like one of the ancient Yogis. Even a thousands of books from masters won't lead us to the knowledge though it can make you a scholar or wise. True knowledge comes with the self-realization, relating self to the divinity. N it needs the proper path to trade on. Teachings and the words even the Bhagavt Gita won't lead us to the divinity because we are not in the position to understand and relate self to that. SO we need a living Guru to guide us to the path. But the world is full of socalled gurus with wisdom only. When they are not with the divinity themselves how they gonna reach us to that realm??? No way. I'm not against reading though. It maysometimes creat the Bhakti in us which makes our task eaiser. So, need of the time is to find out a GUru. regards

I will take a look at "Raise Kundalini in Quick Order". Maybe even lead it in Sadhana, well how quick is quick ??? If one is with capable Guru, with his/her blessings it will take no time. But bet, the writer with the theories only. Well, the experiences a whole lotta people including people in here and many writers including this one has the misconceptions and is of projection of mind than the upsurging of the Kundalini. Kundalini works real different.... Dare to come with a pure heart...and you'll be with real GURU. reards

And, Celebacy is equally important to male and female. I dunno the orgasm but celebacy is equally important.

Hmm, We are with lotta misconceptions regarding Kundalini. It's not important whether KY or any other allows SEX or not but what is imporant is how many of KY people with indulgence in sex have raised the Kundalini ??? Lemme tell you my own experience... i missed my Kundalini because of the NIGHT FALLs... And how many of people who have sex are able to establish the relation to Kundalini during sex ??? It's total nonsense. THe technique is not a chocolate. This a high order Tantric techniqe to make a upsurge of Kundalini during sex. Osho has talked about it. Still it's not that easy as he has told. Kundalini is far more vast than the human mind can contemplate.IT's not mere talking like Osho and too many of westerns and eastern writers do. So-called Kundalini masters and the books have created a clouds of misconceptions and the confusions. I demand to show any of your masters with Kundalini awakening...CELEBACY is the most needed thing if anyone is eager awakening the Kundalini. When NIGHT FALL causes the halt in the Kundalini how come a complete SEX ( masturbation too) will help your KUNDALINI ??? And, I bet nobody is with the Perfect GURU with The Sahashrara Awakening...there's only one in the whole world. Awakening of Sahashrara...well even the Mulashara... is not easy. The easiest way to awake it to find out a Perfect Guru who with the blessings will make the upsurge of the force. Among triliions of people only few thousands think of the Kundalini...and only a few hundered remains in practice.. and only few 1 0r two people can awke the Sahashrara. Even the third eye awakening ...oh man.... it's awsome. And I know few people with third eye and few others are with some lower. THE MOST NEEDED THING IS A CAPABLE GURU. and no people with Kundalini awakeing will claim they are with the force, they will remain silent. Be aware and try finding a true Guru if you are really true to yourself. And don't get misled by so-called Gurus and the stuffs in the internet and the books. If the books were with help then every single person with book would have been with it. there's a sayin: Stop reading health books. You may die of misprints. regards PF

UFOs, yeah they exist. Science in outer space is much more adveanced than of the earth... and Sceientist are trying to make us DUMB really, i agree. But they are dumb themselves...they know nothing. They are imagining to see the past but in vain... but we can see the past easily with some spiritual parctices.........can change any matter into any. Scientissts make airplanes to fly but we can fly oeverselves... They are DUMB themselves.

Dear INNOCENT, Well, though I am not with all the knowledge you long to know I'm trying... In human civilization there are full of good and bad. If someone tries doing something in a nice way...many other may try doing it other way. Just take the rules in any country...isn't the rule broken ??? The rules have been made to walk us on the right path but there are lotta people who go against. Such thing applies to the Tantra and the Pujas too. Truly the old scriptures don't tell about animal sacrificing...Later, people to make fun and pleasure strated doing so and became a ritual even in the Puja. Well there are Two main types of Tantra Sadhans..1) Dakshin Marg 2) Bama Marg Bama Marga applies all the sacrifices etc. Tell you the truth about Nara Bali ( human sacrifice ) in Dakshin Kali Temple in Nepal ( the Kali ma here is worshiped by the Tantics from round the globe)....only few decades back, they used to do the Nara Bali but Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali during his 18 and half years of sadhana period in Nepal make them to put it off. Dr. Shrimali is the only authentic person in all the ancient knowledge from the Rishis. Though his departure has created a blankness, still a person away from crowd, appointed by him as his heir is in the way providing the path. Well, if I am to suggest you, you can go to any temples...just make sure not to get involved to any thing wrong goes there. And if you are with GURU,then you don't need to go to any temples. you will find the God awaiting for you with the grace of Guru. But Guru, where to find ????????????????

Hey guys !!! Stop going to any Pujaris in the temple. Most of them are the real begger in the context of Knowledge who only know how to empty your pocket. And, what we're gonna do knowing the Gods and goddesses ??? Untill and unless you don't find any capable Guru you'd never be on the right path which may lead you to the divinity. Simply acquiring knowledge about deities and other stuffs will made us only a Pujari. Are we daring enough?

sure

Hi, DOn't consult the books as it can be hazardous. Find yoga instructor. Yoga has a greater significance than the world is perceiving...

Sorry, I was looking for Guruvani's words to me here..but couldn't find esactly where i posted, sorry not being able to catch up. well, everything even the teaching of the great masters becomes outdated. This is Kaliyuga. Every Yuga has its own DHARMA. So accroding to the need of the time Masters like Krsna, Rama incarnated. THe time they lived and the time we are livning is different. Still the words of those great people got some significance to this time too. But if it is applied to measure things, then reaches us nowhere, except to some dreams and the visions of those illumined ones and the Bhakti Bhajans. regards

Okay, i don't got any complaints against anyone, any gods and any gurus, they are performing as their past Karma is leading them to. But what i'd like to request all the aspirants to look for the evidences from the past enlightened ones. To mention few: Guru of Jagatguru Krishana, Sandeepan Maharaj...Vishwamitra... There's a book : Purna: Purna Midam" find it and get enlightened. regards

Hi there, Well, the religions are prevailing in the east among ordinary people but in the west the spirituality is prevailing. Just look around and you'll feel it. People in the west donate generously, even the whole wealth of a life time but in our part of the world people are dreaming to reach the height of materialism.THis is the difference. But, even the west too runs after the religion... ... ... running after the religion is bad in all aspects.... creats the differences... ... ... Don't try to be religious it's hazardous. Marx said, Religion is just like the opium. We all are with the nature of excavating the grave.............. we can be one of such people from the past. The Jesus is in us, the Krsna is in us...we need to explore it...we can be...just need the GUTS....and a light to the path... a guide...a mentor...and we can find it...
