Guest guest Posted June 9, 2007 Report Share Posted June 9, 2007 I would like to ask the group if they have had any of these experiences. I was chanting the Chandi Path and I had my car broken into, my toe broke, and strange insects showed up in the house. I have never had my car broken into, nor have ever broken any bone. Then I got a fever and broke out in a rash. I actually believe my heart chakra opened. Does any of this make any sense whatsoever? Also, I'm a bit shy of gurus, because they want blind faith or they want you to believe only what they say, and not what anyone else says. I have a hard time with this. Thanks for any help. Shanti Om, Shankari kali Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Is there a Hindu Temple near where you are? If so, perhaps one of the priests can help. I assume you asked Lord Ganesha for permission when you started chanting the Chandi Path. It sounds like you opened up a portal from this world to another where " things " (spirits/energies) got in indiscriminately.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2007 Report Share Posted June 13, 2007 HI dear friend, You should be happy that such things happened. When one is going to do virtue acts, obstacles will surface so that you will not do further. It is also a form of purifications and thus if you can overcome all these difficulties, you will reach another level of practice. How can doing chanting bring bad results?? It does not match, the causes and effects. All these happen, in the form of purifications. so not to worry. Thank you, With Best Regards, Tara Shankari Kali <shankari_kali wrote: I would like to ask the group if they have had any of these experiences.I was chanting the Chandi Path and I had my car broken into, my toebroke, and strange insects showed up in the house.

Guest guest Posted June 14, 2007 Report Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi How long have you been chanting chandi and when did the first of these incidents happen ? Isn't anahata suppose to open after manipura? There are lot of changes that come with the heart chakra opening.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 Shankari Kali - the following being asked not to challenge but rather with all due respect - why might the recently transpired events have a correlation to Kali - any more or less so than any other chaotic series of events that occur through life? Is there a reason to attribute these events to a divine nature (i mean, i believe everything in life, no matter how seemingly mundane - is of a divine nature - but outside of that boundary, is there a reason to attach to this series of events - any higher relevancy than say, any other event(s) in life)? Stephen - if Shankari Kali was to ask Lord Ganesha for approval - how would she know if an approval was granted? How would one know if their heart chakra (or any other chakra, for that matter) was opened? What does it mean to " open a chakra " ? I'm reading a book, " Kali's Odiyya " and one of the very interesting points that it makes is that the more we question something - the more we lose of the experience. Sometimes in our attempt to rationalize an event (which is only natural) - we end up losing the essence of the spirit of the event. Thus, it might behoove the seeker to experience and observe but without attempt at rationale and question - for the very nature of rationale would dictate that how can one apply rationale and logic to experience(s) that transcend our knowledge and understanding - interesting paradox!! I don't pretend i know the answer (because like anyone, my instinct is to attempt to rationale - which i guess it takes discipline to overcome and instead .. just " accept " rather than rationale) - but it sure does make one think.

Do you think I just made this up? In Hinduism, Ganesha is the gatekeeper. Basically what is done is a Ganesha mantra is chanted first, I think. If you want to know more, I suggest you ask a scholar, which I am not. In my opinion, though, Ganesha doesn't usually say 'No', assuming the worshipper is sincere. Many spiritualities have gatekeepers. In Yoruban pathways, it is Eshu. There are variations of this name. In ancient Greek religions, it is Hestia. There are other examples.

Guest guest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm not sure if my question came across in an unintended manner because i sense hostility (perhaps i'm mistaken?) in your reply below? If so, i assure you - none is necessary as there is no hostility in my questions as they were posed. Perhaps you can advise me on what particular aspect(s) of my question came across in a manner to suggest that i was implying that you did - or did not - make anything up? If i don't know something - I ask. I believe that is a logical action to take when wanting to learn something. As the statement was made not by a scholar - but rather - by yourself, i would think it logical that if i have a question based on a statement you made - that i would first ask, well ... you. Asking a question need not be indicative of challenging one's knowledge - but rather an attempt at increasing one's own awareness. I was not/(am not) actually looking for a scholarly answer - or a non-scholarly answer - just " your " answer - need be nothing more than that. Please accept that comments i made are of my own observations, knowledge, ignorance, lack of knowledge - any and all combined - nothing need be taken personal - in any form - i'm hoping that can be understood and agreed upon and moved beyond. That having been said.... I find that interesting about Ganesha being a gatekeeper of sorts, as i've never heard him referred to in that fashion. My (i'm sure, very limited) understanding of Ganesha - is that he is a remover of obstacles. Although i can certainly see how that can correlate to being a gatekeeper, because being a remover of obstacles - he can open the gate to someone moving beyond that obstacle which prevents them further motion. Although i've not before came across the necessity of asking Ganesha for permission in specifics regards to a mantra - that doesn't mean i'm saying it's not so - nor does it mean i'm agreeing - it just means that it's not information i've been priivy to in my short jaundice thus far into hinduism. thank you for the explanation and insight you have shared. namaste Kali_Ma , ganesa16 <ganesa16 wrote: > > > --- Andy <happytheclown37 wrote: > > Stephen - if Shankari Kali was to ask Lord Ganesha > > for approval - > > how would she know if an approval was granted? > > Do you think I just made this up?

I have a pattern of running into people who summarily reject ideas that they didn't think of themselves; in fact it is a way of life for me. So, I can be defensive, at times. But, yes many ancient religions have deities that must be worshipped first, and people new to the religion often must ask permission to worship the deities of those traditions, from this " gatekeeper " as I call them. Since many European, and other folks, religions have been wiped out; who knows how many gatekeepers we are unknowledgable of. For more information, on Ganesha as " gatekeeper " , and remember " gatekeeper " might just be my label of it; you may ask any authority in Hinduism, like at a temple, if you have access to one.
