Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 >Sre-eram, Rivolena: Your mail was condescending and disrespectfull towards the members here and you obviously have a high opinion of yourself and low regard for others judging from your statements. Srinivas response: As a person with indepth knowledge & experience, one cannot stand a mutely to the distortive or immatured writings. Your single response is a testimony. When you write to a public forum, one has to think and evaluate a lot. One deliberate yet caliberated reply of mine ( with appropriate reasons & content ) - did evoke a quick response from you. Think about someone writing loosely !!! Any person who has experienced kundalini will not normally share that unique experience with anyone - unless he meets a person of equal stature. ( note Mr. PVR's own experience... the D20 analysis of a known person ....already posted in the forum). While you call it "risky" process, I call it a smooth inevitable process !! Opinions can differ. Wanted to stress here, that any expression verbal or written is a limited exercise or limiting the entire expression itself !!! When you wrote "risky", it may not be your proper choice, could be for want of time or vocalbulary it came out. It would be wrong on my part to harp on "risky" and start a hot debate on it !!!!???? Hinduism or Vedic science has already undergone humiliation at many hands - what to speak we hindus ourselves belittle our "Gods". Lord Krishna has "n" number of girlfriends, so what is wrong if I also desire so. Lord Shiva drinks "bhang", so do I....etc.. There are so many gods, whom to worship ??? So i do not worship anyone !!! One may not dare to admit this in the public, yet the reality stands. Yet raising a stern/concerned voice - should you feel it arrogant, be it so. I do not mind. I would also request you to kindly go through my previous postings (not many ), to know, which may allay any negative thoughts that you may have. should you have anything to write kindly shoot directly into my mail box ( offline ) sreeram64 srinivas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 15, 2005 Report Share Posted December 15, 2005 Dear Friends, > As a person with indepth knowledge & experience, one cannot stand a > mutely to the distortive or immatured writings. Yes? No? People with at least some experience may react differently. When Christ saw all those Shop keepers in the Jerusalem temple, he took the weapon and beat them out of the temple. But when Buddha was scolded and abused by the people he kept his calm, and never reacted to their words understanding that they are still in that sleep, lacking the enlightenment/awakening that comes from the depths of soul/the timeless. It is said that Buddha never laughed, but Lavothsu was always laughing. All of them were enlightened souls and even enlightened souls may react/respond differently. With out the real experience of that elevated state of mind/ or more clearly that mindlessness we *cannot* understand the one with experience. May be Srinivas ji is right, or may be not!! I am no person to judge - only that I am sure about!!! > Any person who has experienced kundalini will not normally share > that unique experience with anyone - unless he meets a person of > equal stature. No. They are not sharing their experience. *Spiritual experience can not be shared*. (I am not talking about the amount of years for which one is doing the sadhana, but the real ::soul?/mind?/mental?/spiritual? - I am lacking word :: experience one had) That are just talking about their experience, that is all to it. With the hope that the other person with similar experience may understand it. Yes, only two people with similar experience can understand such highly subjective experience - i.e Enlightenment (Or you can call it Kundalini awakening). Sreevivas ji ? MasterJ ? PVR ? Me ? Bharat ? Many others who spoke in the VA forum ? = Do we have it? Can we consider ourselves us ENLIGHTENED SOULS who have attained the BUDHA state and who could authentically speak about the experience and sadhana system to be followed to attain the same, AT LEAST to our sishyas? NO, PROBABLY NOT. At least in my case, I am sure, it is an emphatic NO!!! So, please....we don't deserve to handle this subject. So let us stop discussing it in public (for no use! = for there is not even an authentic teacher on the same in VA forum), and move on to astrology. We are not YanjchaValkya of Brihadaranya Upanishad to say that, "Yes, I am authentic!!". And that is why my humble plea... Of couse, I don't expect an answer for this mail. Since I don't want to talk about it any further. I don't consider myself as person who would dare to *speak about Kundalini awakening* - It sounds absurd!!! It is my last mail on the subject and I withdraw from all these arguments, and won't like to comment on anyone's responses any further.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2005 Report Share Posted December 16, 2005 Namaste friends, I have been away from the lists for a few days because of a few different poojas and today had a little time to catch up. > Can we consider ourselves us ENLIGHTENED SOULS who have attained the > BUDHA state and who could authentically speak about the experience > and sadhana system to be followed to attain the same, AT LEAST to our > sishyas? NO, PROBABLY NOT. Whenever the topic of Kundalino comes, some people start talking as if merely having a Kundalini awakening makes one an "enlightened soul" or a "Buddha". That is not true at all. Kundalini awakening is not a big deal and a very very small thing compared to enlightenment. Thousands of people experience Kundalini awakening and many may even succeed in having Kundalini rise. But they all do not become enlightened. I know some people that I am convinced had a Kundalini awakening. They are all people whose self-consciousness is making progress in reaching higher planes of consciousness. But none of them, except one, is an "enlightened soul" who attained the "Buddha state". The reason for this latest thread is some assertions by Prabodh that I thought were simply incorrect and needed to be corrected. I was not talking about the highest state of enlightenment, but talking about the Kundalini awakening which is more like the first step rather than the last step. I can say confidently that (1) Kundalini can awaken in ladies also and (2) Kundalini awakening and rise can occur thru various means, including Bhakti yoga and Jnaana yoga and not just Raja yoga as Prabodh asserted. Irrespective of my own spiritual stature or that of people I know, I am quite confident of the above two assertions and thought it appropriate to refute wrong assertions being made. Based on the books I read as well experiences of people I know, I know that Prabodh's assertions are incorrect. > > Any person who has experienced kundalini will not normally share > > that unique experience with anyone - The point that people do not go around talking about their Kundalini experiences is correct. A spiritual person does not advertize his credentials. Moreover, sharing some details relating to the manifestation of the experience does not amount to sharing the experience. Words cannot capture certain experiences. You can explain in many words how snow is to someone on the equator who has never seen snow in life, but he may not understand it or understand it incorrectly. Words cannot always capture to perfection the concepts/experiences/thoughts they try to express.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2005 Report Share Posted December 17, 2005 Dear Narasimha Namste My assertions are not wrong and I think it is a well known fact that Kundalini is a subclass of Raj yoga. All the paths will give you same ultimate knowledge but I still say that all paths will not invoke Kundalini in you. You will be in same state of ultimate knowledge through other means like Bhakti and Gyana yoga as you would be with Kundalini yoga. But you seem to get carried away by popular perception about Kundalini. Scriptures dont say that all paths will invoke kundalini in you. It is your (incorrect) opinion that all paths invoke kundalini. I fail to understand why do you consider that all paths will invoke Kundalini! Kundalini is not a very essential thing according to scriptures. On the other hand Kundalini is a very specific and difficult way of learning. It has its own drawbacks and because of that Adi Shankaracharya had to refute this way of obtaining knowledge. If Adi Shankaracharya had refuted it,why to make a big issue out of Kundalini? I did not want to say anything about Kundalini here again but since you are frequently saying that I am wrong I have to put my point of view. Ofcourse this is my last mail on this topic. Thanks a lot for your Time and Sapce. Prabodh Vekhande Jai Jai Shankar Har Har Shankar vedic astrology, "Narasimha P.V.R.
