Re: Kundalini etc.

From the Bhakti List Archives

• January 18, 2003


Dear bhAgavathAs,

AdiyEn was practising rAja yOgA (BrahmakumAri's), TM (Mahesh Yogi) 
and even was taught about kundalini. I was really impressed 
by "Thirumanthiram" of Thirumoolar". (I've written about myself quite 
elaborately in my introductory mail in Bhakti-list, during June2002)

Once, I was thinking that it was enough to do meditation separately, 
which I perfected too, which brought clear mind etc.,

But NOW, after atleast about 15 years of practising those so called 
yOgAs,  I can say that these are all only "HINDRANCES" to actual 
realisation of srIman nArAyaNA. Our SaraNAgathy procedure 
objects "Enjoying the pleasure brought out by AtmAnubhavam after 
SaraNAgathy". Although there are plenty of other systems, yogAs etc., 
which of course bring immediate benefits for "lowkIka" matters, We 
HAVE to follow what has been devised for us by our pUrvAchAryAs and 
has been practised by our ancestors for millennia. 

As visishtAdvaitins, We have been blessed with a COMPLETE system to 
be practised lifelong.

We have to seek (or srIman NArAyaNA has to bless us with) a 
sadAchAryan to understand the subtle messages conveyed by our 
philosophy.

ADiyEn is really proud to have one such AchAryan, who, within a very 
short time has changed my PREVIOUS indisciplines and is now preparing 
me to undergo "SaraNAgathy" very soon (01.02.03). (I'm mentioning 
about srI. Hari of Singapore who does not like to be praised etc., so 
I stop with this...)

My humble suggestion to all visishtAdvaitins is 1) to approach an 
AchAryan with due respect and learn EVERY SINGLE THING from him. 2) 
Do trikAla sandyAvandanA which has everything in it. (japA, yogA, 
exercise, prANAyAmA etc). 

Sorry to say that "We have butter in Hand but looking for ghee"
