SPIRITUAL TRANSMISSION POSSIBLE!!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Sadhakas

 

Recently I read the following spiritual text in a website.

 

The method known as Sahaj Marg which is practiced in Shri Ram

Chandra Mission. It is a simple, subtle, safe and sure method which

takes the aspirant towards human perfection in the shortest possible

duration. The greatest advantage in this path is that, the guru or

the Master or the guide, whatever one may call him, takes the

responsibility of transforming an individual into a perfect human

being without much effort on the part of the practitioners. This is

made possible through the unique method adopted by the Master, which

is termed `Pranahuti' in Sahaj Marg. Pranahuti means `offering one's

life energy'. The Master, offers his own life-energy, directs it to

the hearts of the disciple through his will power, and awakens the

Soul which lies dormant in the heart of the seeker. The seeker has

just to receive it in his heart, which he can feel once he turns his

attention inwardly. The Pranahuti is defined as " The utilization of

the divine energy for the transformation of man " . Sahaj Marg does

not bar any one from experiencing this divine energy. Any one

without any barrier of colour, caste, creed, sex, religion,

nationality etc., can derive the benefit of the Master's services,

without paying anything in return!

 

Now, naturally a question arises whether this is true or just a

fancy. Is there any such reference in early texts on Yoga where such

phenomenon was available in ancient times?(7) The answer is `Yes'.

We do have many such references in ancient texts where the Yogic

energy or the divine energy was transmitted by the teacher to the

disciple, resulting in the transformation of the latter. We shall

see just a few of them here.

 

The Yoga Vasishtha, ascribed to the legendary saint Valmiki (who

wrote the Ramayana), contains reference of the great saint Vasishtha

transforming his disciple lord Rama at once, using this method of

transmission. Here three methods of Yogic transmission, viz., by

touch, by sight and through words are mentioned (8) . The

Sutasamhita, which forms part of Skandapurana, which is at least one

thousand five hundreds years old, adds one more to the above list.

It includes transmission through will power (or thought) and says

that this is the subtlest and the highest method of transmission. It

may be pointed here that Sahaj Marg adopts the same method.

 

In ancient and medieval Sufi systems, this technique of transmission

from the heart was known as Tavajjhoh. It may also be noted that

ancient Chinese Buddhism also contains references to such practices.

The 9th -10th cent A.D. text on Kashmir Saivism also contains

references to such method of Yogic transmission adopted by the

Master in effecting spiritual evolution of the disciples.

 

Lord Krishna transmitted the divine energy to Arjuna on the

battlefield and made him an immortal hero, as can be seen from the

great epic Mahabharata.

 

Kindly elucidate further in this topic

 

with best regards
