Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Dear Dakshinamoortiji, I am in appreciation of the knowledge you have. I would also like to say here that removing the negative impressions and karmas have definately originated from India. I am aware that Poojya Sri Sri Savishankar Ji founder of The Art Of Living Foundation has made available a process to advanced sadaks in AOL which serves the same purpose of removing negative impressions but is much better than regression in may ways. The west is still struggling to build on this technique of regression.But it is being widely recognised. Giving credence to the theory of reincarnation which has been doubted for ages in the west.More and more people in the west do recognise the wisdom of the vedic knowledge now that ever before..... Regards, Gurpreet dakshinastrologer <dakshinastrologer (AT) (DOT) co.in> wrote: Dear Gurpreetji: Yes......going back to memories of past lives is quite possible by regression techniques, and they do help in resolving some psychological issues which arise from impressions of the past. In astrology, classical works like "Agasthiar Karma Kaandam" specify the likely negative karmas that the native may carry depending on planetary placements in the horoscope, and also the suggested remedies to overcome the ill-effects. Chanting Gayathri mantra regularly, and some mantrik japas do help a person in remembering events of past lives so that the karmaas could be faced and eradicated consciously. For advanced spiritual practitioners, these memories will not be disturbing; but, rather a very useful aid in shedding off all karmic baggage. Advanced spiritual aspirants can view all life events with perfect equanimity and that is why God's Grace ordains that siddhis that a person can attain are directly related to their level of spiritual maturity. Remembering past lives is a common enough siddhi at some stage of spiritual development for most sadhakaas. Chanting Gayathri mantra, Raama naama japa( or shiva japam), etc. are definitely good aids for removing our negative karmaas. Blessed be.

However our conciusness remembers everything and we can go back to our past lives under supervision of an enlightened being. In the west they have a technique called "regression therapy" In this technique they take you to your past to clean some past impressions or smaskaras. I believe this technique comes from India and saints do it to remove old impressions and stresses from the chitta. However in thsi technique the conciousness will decide what it brings forward for a person to see or experience. Not everybody requirs this technique. however this technique is used to treat lots of patients of physhatry and has produced amazing results.But this is not to say that you can eradicate all karmas. saome karmas you have to go thu and also this technique is more at a level where it make you stronger but may not be able to change the circumstances you are in. > > > Regards, > > Gurpreet > > dakshinastrologer <dakshinastrologer wrote: > Dear Shri.
