At last I have found what my problem is! Why I dont fit in the guru club. No I

havent tried that hard I admit. But I have wandered in darkness about this for

sooo long. Was it my deoderant? Halitosis? Bad style choices? What could it be?

I would wonder about this as I walked the teaching path.

Then it has just come to me!

 

I am not a proper Guru.

 

I know surprise surprise. You all knew though didnt you. And just didnt say

anything. Kind of like having the " barn door " open and not saying anything.

hmmmmmm. Well its true.

 

There is nothing proper about me. I have no lineage. Sometimes I eat meat.

Sometimes I eat with my left hand(Yikes!) I cant suck string or water " up " my

butt. I can breathe there though ha!-lol! I do not follow any of the ancient

traditions though I honor them in my own wild way. Thats it. I am a Wild Guru.

Organic and free range! One from the mountains and one for unclean masses.

But.....showers are good too! - lol - God save us! - chrism

 

P.S. Be advised of this now when we come to the Shaktipat.

I like the word unique(none other like you), that's how I see our wild guru.

Yeah!

 

Now the word proper, to me that brings to mind one who is stiff and unyeilding

and adheres to dogma only. Thanks be to God, we don't have a proper guru. :)

 

Love,

Linda

 

P.S. Dhyana, what does your " lmao " mean?

Well, I have to admit, I am not a proper student, I used to party too much, I

like to go disco dancing , I don't take authority very well , and I don't like

too many rules, I like to pray to who I like when I like. I like dancing outside

the box, naked on the beach and especially in Thailand under the full moon.Sign

me up for shaktipat please in autumn teach =) love elektra x x x

Being naked for some time is different from being naked for lifetime.There are

some sects

like Digambar or Naga Sadhus who live naked throughout their life.If they get

food they

eat or remain hungry.They move in chilling cold.They do no sadhana.They need no

Guru.

They face such hardships for minimum 12 years.

time............

Pranams chrism....

 

I just felt i must share my feelings about you as our guru....

 

looking at an low level picture of a guru we can say one who is having a

lineage..one who has strict rules to follow...one who has renounced and takes up

the saffron robes and shaves the head...one who has a school of teaching of his

with disciples and one who has strict rules for the students he selects.

these rules and check lists is what we can look from a guru when we limit the

guru to the physical world and the rules and appearances of the physical world.

 

If we look at the more subtle and the deeper aspect of a guru, we must first

start with the basic definition of the world guru.

A guru is the one who leads the disciple from darkness of ignorance to the light

of knowledge.

A guru is one who makes the path way for the disciple to reach the god.

A guru is one who will have a commitment and dedication for the student, his

leaning and his excelling, his realization of god.

 

As long as we are stuck to they physical realm we tend to fit in a guru with his

looks, rules and lineage.

But if our goal is to reach the oneness with god, to learn the true knowledge,

the lifestyle and appearance of a guru will never be a choice of thought.

 

Lord dattatreya is said to be the prime guru....how does he live..how does he

dress, how does he talk....

live with dogs around, wear robes....stroll in the mountains like a mad man..:)

 

Your commitment to help us and lead us....ur choice of choosing us and blessing

us....your act of compassion and guidance to us would mean a lot lot more than

to think if you fit in the guru frame as the world are seeing in many of them.

 

My thanks and pranams to you for blessing us all.....

 

Regards

Prasad

Namaste,

 

Guru? Who is a Guru here? I would guess that very few people here even have

Yagnopaveet Sanskar. (Any Brahmans by lineage or baptism please raise their

hands. LOL)

 

The word Guru is being used much too often... with too much importance....

and often with the wrong or inappropriate context. IMHO.

jai gurudev

 

 

dear nagendraji and chrismji,

 

 

i wud like to add some humble words here :

 

lord dutt first guru is lord mahadurda adinath shiv,

and after gaining divine knowledge he made 24 gurus.

 

yes anyone who gives knowledge is guru it maybe anyone.

 

but kundalini yog is an energy work,and so still one

needs to exercise caution and shaktipat is to be done

properly so as that the giver and taker of shaktipat r not

harmed.

 

in this knowledge of the energy work is important and thus

the knowledge of guru and his gotra-lineage etc if can be obtained

will be beneficial.

 

mother kundalini is not a mystery and some people claim falsely but

is for all to awaken and partake of her divine bliss forever.

 

so just 1 request pls be cautious.

 

finally its the decision of the person interested to awaken mother

kundalini.

 

so pls be careful when giving or receiving shaktipat and

surely mother kundalini will bless us all.

 

 

 

om shakti

a business now to mint easy money.I pity those who fall in to such

There are some famous Gurus today quite entwined in scandal. It is my

thought that the power involved breaks down many of the human and spiritual

morals they started off with. It's just human nature. I for one never want

to be so tested. (Run away...run away now...lol)

 

There is also the " GURU HEADHUNTERS " who read every word the man/woman

speaks, listen to each one spoken, and analyze each " miracle " for anything

less than perfection and total honesty and make their results public. Every

move the Guru makes is documented, they are after all in the public eye. I

have heard of, but never met, several Gurus that had to " suddenly leave

town " in the middle of the night for transgressions brought to the public

eye.

 

However, I know of many more Gurus that did good, who were kind, and

successsfully worked for the general good of mankind despite the temptations

of their profession. It's a noble one but not for me!

 

 

Scary scary scary. I could not imagine the pressure.

30 years ago when I thought that my 2 week old daughter was sick I went to a

healer. My mind exaggerates my first meeting with him as he came down the stairs

at 2:30 in the morning. I say that he came down in holly under ware and smoking

a cigar. Somehow, after knowing him for a time, I throw in that he was eating a

ham sandwich at the time of his decent of the stairs. My little girl stopped

crying the minute that he touched her. The family was finally at home. He gave

me a book and said that instead of saying what I rebelled against, God, to say

" Universal Energy. " My life and the life of the family quickly changed. Among

other things, I got a legal job in just a few weeks. In fact it was where my

guru worked as a younger man.

 

The point is that I could not have taken God from another guru. Slick dress or a

balcony on the Ganges was not what enabled me to accept the Lord. I believe the

heart of is grounded in the same earthiness and dedication as was that of

the person that brought God to my heart and to my family.. The K family is

indicative of this feeling.  

 

Sincerely,

Jake

I am having trouble releasing my ego in that I want to make egoic response to

those I disagree with. The ego tricks me into thinking that my response is a

creative endeavor and must manifest. I believe that the people that I am

responding to will only keep the battle of the egos going. My response is from

who I am. I have always been on the side of the underdog. I know that the cycle

that grabs me must be done away with if I am to progress or even survive without

taking contrary opinions to heart. When I see a suffering world I respond with

my opinion and what I believe is a good argument about how things got that way.

Responding to people that already have their own agenda is what I am playing

into. In reality they don't want to hear my observations from living in

countries with better health care and how it works. I almost ask the question of

should I not respond? What happens with the next messages sent? I know how that

would affect me now before the

change. I want to send them pictures of myself at a rally in the late " 60 " and

say that I am worse now. My knee length beard and accompanying hair certainly

give away my persuasions in this picture. Other opinions plague me only when

they come from this group.Really wanting to change but the electricity won't let

me,Jake
