RE: Partha, Kundalini & Simple Vimsottari Example (Birthdata)

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha Raoji,

Thank you for taking my input in the right spirit.No doubt Kundalini awakening

leads one to knowledge and surrender to the Lord, but it needs to be practiced

under the guidance of a realized Guru and one has to be prepared to observe all

the Yamas and Niyamas that are essential for its proper practice. For others it

is better to aim for the goal of surrender to the Almighty.

Regards,

Chandrashekhar.

You are absolutely right. An able guru is needed by one who wants to "harness"

the energy of Kundalini. Kundalini rise can give rise not only to severe mental

afflictions as you said, but also to physical afflictions.

 

I (and many similar-minded people who are into the path of surrender) actually

take a more conservative stand. We consider Kundalini to the the Yoga Maya of

the Lord. Instead of harnessing the illusory energy and trying to get some

powers, I'd rather leave Her management to the Lord. She was, after all,

created by Him. That is why I basically said "thanks, but no thanks" when

Partha suggested that I should do Kundalini yoga to make those experiences last

longer.

 

The Yoga Maya residing in us is safe under the management of Krishna (even safer

than under the management of a good guru!). Narayana will manage Her, if we

completely surrender to Him.

 

But complete surrender to Narayana means being prepared for anything (including

going mad or such things that are normally considered "dire") and, at the same

time, not expecting or wanting any specific result (including the Kundalini

rise).

 

Kundalini rise was and is never, and hopefully will never be, my goal. If it

happened, it happened naturally, without any desire or directed effort.

 

Of course, others may not agree with this approach. Good luck to them! But they

will do well to atleast remember Sri Chandrashekhar ji's words of caution.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
