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" dAsan Mukundan singapore. -------------------------------------------------------------- - SrImate rAmAnujAya namaH - To Post a message, send it to: bhakti-list@yahoogroups.com Group Home: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/bhakti-list Archives: http://ramanuja.org/sv/bhakti/archives/ Your use of Yahoo!
