Guest guest Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 Shaktipaat is when a sadhaka gets a big energy boost to clear his chakras, or to awaken his kundalini, or to remove negativity blocks in his system. Shaktipaat can be done by a guru... and in some case without a guru. Most of the people think that a guru can do shaktipaat on anyone and can make his disciple advanced... this is a false notion Guru performs shaktipaat only on that disciple who is really ready due to his sadhna for this big leap. Paramhansa had many disciples, but he performed shaktipaat only on vivekananda. Hence the commercial gurus who are doing shaktipaat on every tom...are fakes and their shaktipaat has no spiritual significance Shaktipaat done by a guru, may be performed by touching, by seeing or by uttering a mantra in the ear of the disciple. Guru sends his own highly spiritual energies to the system of disciple...and these energies can remove the blocks, clear chakras or force the kundalini to awaken The direct Shaktipaat comes from God, himself. In this form of shaktipaat, one feels a lightening jolt of energy from the sahasradhara... and then this energy going down the spine reaching Kundalini. This shaktipaat may happen during meditation or during japa, results would be same in both cases. The results of both the shaktipaats (guru or direct) are almost same. The sadhka feels a big shock in the body and his may become senseless for some moments. There is a feeling of bliss afterwards, which may remain for hours, for weeks even for months. The face becomes smiling, eyes drowned somewhere. A Sadhaka may see beautiful dreams, or listen to sweet sounds during sleep. A sadhka should never think that After shaktipaat, he wil progress automatically. Shaktipaat may help in the first step... but it never leads to Moksha. We have to work hard after that to get enlightened state...although a guru may show a glimpse of Truth during Shaktipaat, as happened in the case of Vivekananda. If proper sadhna is not done after Shaktipaat, the energies go back to Kundalini and the sadhaka may remain where he was Perhaps we may discuss more on this if others so like with love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yes Babaji, I agree with you fully. There is also another twist to this... As I had mentioned in one of my previous posts, if Shakthipath is done on a person who is unready (his energy bodies are not fully developed), it might damage the naadis and chakras also. But shakthipath can be done even by people who are not fully enlightened, but have understood the energy systems to a good extent and whos kundalini is active. Love Bala...

As I had > mentioned in one of my previous posts, if Shakthipath is done on a Yes Balaji, that is true. But a good guru will never do shaktipat on unready disciple. Normally such shaktipaat happens with hathayogis or those who do Kriyas without properly clearling the chakras. The story of my Tayaji, who became made after Kali sadhna is a good example of this. What I feel is that energies are very strong in Kaliyuga and even smal efforts may lead to a shaktipaat, hence we should be more careful as our minds become very impure in kaliyuga Aum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear Aum, What is shakthipaat means? You said when and how it happens. But what is the meaning? Sarvamaatha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding, from reading these posts, is that shaktipath can both be done by a guru & can sometimes happen of its own accord. Have I got that correct? 2. If it is done by a Guru, what does that Guru do? How does he make shaktipath happen & in doing that, what then happens to the sadahka? What will their experience be? 3. If it does happen of its own accord through , how would you know it had happened? I have read the list of symptoms, but they sound so similar to lots of other things. 4. It is interesting what you said about someone who is not ready for this. Also, that it is not good to do kriyas without clearing the chakras first. I must say there have been many times when I have been in a room full of 20 or 30 people & we have done some kriyas, with no mention of clearing the chakras first. Should I be concerned about this? If I (or someone else) had done this without clearing the chakras first & shaktipath happened of its own accord & then damaged my chakras or nadis - how would I know? And what could I do? 5. I have another question about chakras, so maybe I'll post that separately. Oh dear - so many questions - you've got me thinking now! With much love & contemplation......

How does he make > shaktipath happen & in doing that, what then happens to the sadahka? > What will their experience be? => Shaktipaat is done by guru, by touching body of the disciple with thumb, palm or fingers...and in vivekananda's case his guru touched his shoulder with his feet. During Shaktipaat the Guru channels all his kundalini energies...which he sends to a chakra (normally agya chakra)...of the disciple. this energy works on the chakras of the disciple and removes any blocages etc..or makes his kundalini to rise. --- > > 3.

Joy separates this shaktipaat symptoms from other symptoms. also one may feel sudden change in personality...like change of voice...or sudden surge of good dreams, and widened understanding of the events around > > 4.

And what could I do? ==> I presume you are doing these kriyas under the guidance of a teacher... who knows very well which kriya is not appropriate for un- prepared teachers. Not all kriyas bring shaktipaat...there are some but most of them are kept secret and u will not find them in books/internet So I dont think you shud be alarmed... with kriyas Kundalini do releases some energy into the system...but that is always manageable. There are kriyas which disturb the kundalini strongly and in turn kundalini awakens and rises above or releases lot of energy...that is dangerous for unprepared student... and no guru would actually try it. - > > 5.

Guest guest Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Kriyas manifest themselves automatically when we reach a particular energy level. The belief is that when these kriyas (actions) are repeated, one will go into the same energy states. Spontanious mudras and kriyas have a special flavour of their own and are infinitely more powerful than the ones that are deliberately practiced. There is no harm though in praticing kriyas, but one must be careful to do them only under the supervision of a Guru.
