Kundalini Yoga -- as Envisioned by the Ancient Yogis
Вставка
- Опубліковано 27 вер 2024
- Feature-length video explores kundalini yoga's origins in ancient India and documents the practice of a contemporary traditionally-trained Hindu monk who attempts to "follow in the footsteps" of the ancient yogis who recorded their mystical experiences of kundalini in scriptures known as Yoga Upanishads.
Written and produced by Swami Tadatmananda, a Sanskrit scholar, meditation practitioner, teacher of Advaita Vedanta, and founder of Arsha Bodha Center. For more information, please see: www.arshabodha...
I hope that some of you may watch the whole video and offer some respect to this swami who has spent years studying the teachings of the sages of ancient India - and then put so much generous kindness into producing this thoughtful, high-quality documentary.
Mind blowingly appreciative I most definitely am. Thirsting for knowledge 🥁💟
Eternally grateful 🙏🏼 ❤
Spin around, like a whirling dervish, clockwise (yang in the northern hemisphere/yin in the southern hemisphere) or counterclockwise (yin in the northern hemisphere/yang in the southern hemisphere). Chanting these mantras(yin mantras) heal each chakra: Um like "from"(root), Am like "Tom"(sacral/solar plexus), Oom like "room"(heart), Em like "them"(throat), Om like "home"(heart/throat/pineal) and Ngm (humming with tongue on the roof of the mouth/pineal/crown). These mantras build yang in the body: Eem like "team", Im like "him" and Am like "lamb". Chant these mantras a number of times at the corresponding sound frequency for each chakra: 1,2,4,8:256hz(root),144:288hz,34:272hz,33:264hz(sacral),5,20:320hz(solar plexus),88:352hz,21:336hz,89:356hz(heart),3,12:384hz(throat), 7:448hz,13:416hz,(pineal),54:432hz(left brain), 55:440hz(right brain), 60:480hz(crown). The days of the week relate to the chakras as follows: sunday(root), monday(sacral), tuesday(solar plexus), wednesday(heart), thursday(throat), friday(pineal), saturday(crown). Sleep with te head placed north,south,east,or west. The cardinal directions represent the 4 seasons: east(spring), south(summer), west(autumn), north(winter) in the northern hemisphere or east(spring),north(summer), west(autumn), and south(winter) in the southern hemisphere. Stare into these symbols before sleep in order: the eye of horus and its mirror image, the eye of ra, one eye at a time, 7 colored rainbow, then the torus yantra, pentacle, metatron's cube, heptagram, enneagram and then the flower of life mandala before sleep. Go for walks while breathing deeply through the mouth and nose(count your breaths based on the number of chanting repetitions for each chakra depending on the day of week). While walking also periodically touch each finger tip to the tip of the thumb and make fists(mudras). Lift weights and box a punching bag. Place coiled copper wire into the soil and grow non-gmo soy, wheat, corn, mint and potatoes(7 year crop rotation). Get natto starter to make natto. Place bare feet and hands on the grass. Sunbathe or shine white LED light on skin during the day and at night use LED lights on red(sunday), orange(monday), yellow(tuesday), green(wedsnesday), blue(thursday), indigo(friday) or violet(saturday) settings and expose all skin to the light. Another helpful suggestion. From friday sunset to saturday sunset rest the sabbath which means no lighting fires(no lighters, stovetops, etc.), no physical exercise, no singing or listening to music, and no buying or selling. This will increase yin in the body for the following week. Breaking the sabbath(doing the opposite) will increase yang in the body for the following week. During the sabbath, if keeping the sabbath, wear all white clothing. If breaking the sabbath, wear all black clothing. Rotate the sleeping cardinal direction at the end of every sabbath: east, south, west, north in the northern hemisphere or east, north, west, south in the southern hemisphere. Take neem(sparingly), cinnamon, turmeric, curcumin, nutmeg, gotu kola, schizandra, fo-ti, garlic, vitamins and minerals. Drink lemon juice, lemon balm, mint herbal teas and kefir. Drink organic caffeinated coffee, tea or cocoa in the morning(take breaks from caffeine as well). Also take n-acetyl cysteine, bromelain and nattokinase(detox). Experiment with resting one different day of the week the same as the sabbath(from sundown to sundown)or every other day sabbath. Worship these at day: Amun:the hidden one, Khepri:east, Ra:south in northern hemisphere, north in southern hemisphere, Atum:west, Anubis:north in northern hemisphere, south in southern hemisphere. Worship Khonsu at night, the moon god. Look into Nos Confunden's terra infinita map.
Wonderful teachings ! Great Research!
I don’t agree that without Yoga, spiritual awakening can’t happen. Lots of different paths to spiritual awakening. I’m Native American and though our tribes have different ceremonies, we still have spiritual awakening. In fact for traditionalists, this is the focus of life for thousands of years. I believe many cultures have a path to enlightenment. Truth is the same no matter which perception or language we wrap around it, therefore truth is in the event and not in our perception. Perception simply allows the potential for the pursuit of enlightenment. There is no promise of attainment for one culture compared to another. Any human being can successfully pursue, regardless of their background.
Dragonfly Moon - while I agree with your entire line of thought, the only suggestion I might add is that since you understand that one person’s awakening and another’s enlightenment are likely the exact same “experience;” it would seem just as reasonable to accept that one person’s yoga can just as easily be another person’s fasting or sweat.
DeAnn Johnson Try a closer reading of my comment and you’ll see that I already made this point.
Agree. The saying goes, 'the pathways to God are as numerous as there are beings'. There isn't just one way but all the ways tread the same terrain. We don't all get this knowledge passed down, so many will learn from different cultures where the knowledge is contained and more readily shared.
Agree with your thrust. Actually Yoga itself has wide variety of aporoaches. Yoga itself means union. Yes union with the ultimate. The methods are many. Kundalini Yoga is one of them. Hence anyone seeking enlightenment is actually practicing a form of yoga! It just happens that Indian subcontinent humans spent thousands of years putting it in a organised format.
Vinod Dawda It’s the meaning of the word “Yoga” I am missing. People think if it in a different context and use the word as a synonym with exercise. So it gets confusing and meaning gets lost in translation. On top of that, I use English different myself as a tribal person, making it even harder. Union I understand because I think that’s pretty much what happened to me. In that context, I would agree. This cannot happen without union, but the union is an even that happens to a person and before it happens a person doesn’t know how to recognize it. After it happens a person doesn’t have words to describe it, so I just assumed that’s the way it’s suppose to be.
“Beliefs are not right or wrong. They are helpful or harmful.” beautifully put.
the harmful ones are WRONG. There is good & evil, there is right & wrong. Anything that takes you closer to God is right. Whatever pushes you farther from God is wrong. Sin pushes us away from God, it's wrong. Sin is anything against God's Love.
@@GuruRasaVonWerder And you my friend are the absolute exact example of what being someone who is affected by "harmful beliefs" sounds like!!!
Just not 100% on why you are interested in watching this kind of documentary though.......?????
And also does it work on like a 3 strikes you're out kinda your god??? Or do you have a certain amount
of credits you can cash in?
How much is too much?
How many "sins" do you get before all the evil and wrong gets really farking real????
@Margaret I's a great thing to be humble & if you are truly humble you are Holy, One with God. I think that was a Buddhist who said what you said, but I'm not an expert on Buddhism.
Sock it to em at full blast
Im so happy I decided to learn from my lsd experiences. I took it at my darkest nights and now im at complete oneness and peace. I have been spiritually growing exponentially and i have been changing every single day since to become my true self and co creating with the universe. I am so grateful for all that those experiences taught me.
Did you see the dragon ? Look up Yaldaboath.. The serpent who lives at the center of light emminating from the merkaba/metatrons cube. The foundation of our universe is built upon this sacred geometric shape, in which a spiritual dragon made of light resides in.
@@kenneth6211 i have a seraphim at my merkaba. But the point is that its a singularity of light and holiness. I see dragons studying the akashic library. They have so much wisdom and they speak quite directly. Such a unique and strong energy.
I’ve been looking up interested in why n obviously how yoga came to the western world , the hippies from the sixties basically yes? But they were junkies lsd is no drug to expand the mind conscious etc it’s the opposite hell n your worst nightmare some ppl ain’t come out of there trip n flashbacks can last a life time , n u can understand how fucked up those cults became , new age hippies can brain wash the weak I know n seen it , why did these ppl take this ancient practice n abuse it so badly n more worst today , also the cult status n it’s evil behaviour of old is part of this today I believe am I wrong ? This ancient practice has been stolen and dragged through the pits of hell looks like to me , revolutions n cultures mould the future from the norm yes ! I’ve spent my life since 11 infront of sound system Jamaican jbl Eskimo renegade to name a few , extacy is the safest way to inlitement but the set is the temple and the true power the force ,rhythm is the spirit of the tribal drum from Africa garna kush n so on in the western world to me yoga has been abused I believe? But I’ve just looked up n hey it says they meditate in yoga to the tribal drum ? Which is older?
Would love the reply’s n views n then I can start telling the story of my ex gf josyoga for world wide feed back
@@kenneth6211 i have seen my own metratons cube, it had a purple light with a lot of rainbows, and there was this green happy dragon following me everywhere. can you explain me who is this dragon? is it my essence?
"Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water."
How does this Zen Buddhism quote relate to this video?
@@Alex-jm6fk he actually just goes around saying that on all kind of videos. It's pretty amusing.

It just means you still work and live a normal life. We still have to be here now, and do what needs doing.

@@shootingstar3371 you might be confused of what Christ is. A unifying Spirit of every experience to gain meaning through it all. Turning a meaningless experience into a fullness of what life brings to anyone through a acknowledgment
Finally a sane guru, who calls a spade a spade. No exaggeration, excellent knowledge on scripture.
A boon to Hinduism
ill second that,-
im not a hindu but his teachings makes sense
He missed something about the reality of Chakras and Kundalini. He's right they do not exist in material, but saying it's placebo is overly simplistic. I know it's not real real but I feel the symbolic metaphor for them inside of me as real. I experience it as real metaphorically. I don't experience an actual serpent inside of me but what happened to me was symbolic of a serpent bite. First energy swirling around in my stomach then up to my brain and my brain opened up like a flower. Detached consciousness and an undescribable experience. My perception expanded beyond the material for a weeks or months. I felt and still feel the third eye alive buzzing with energy when I focus on it. I had headaches for weeks, nose bleeds, dizziness, real things that I don't usually experience all right after the awakening. It was like my skull was being squeezed sometimes. I feel energy running up and down my spine like a serpent every day. These symbols are real if you know what they mean. Chakras and Kundalini are no more false than any deity.
He's actually very patronising the more I watch. He is a fake. Betraying the word for likes. Everybody loves to take a shot at new agers and saying chakras are false is a prescription that those anti new agers will enjoy. The man is a trickster.
@@yulflufviyfgvyfygyutgcd6131 sounds like some of your symptoms indicate you have some type of deviation I recommend you talk to like a medical qigong doctor or traditional chinese medical doctor or some type of healer because nose bleeds and all that doesn't sound good. your skull being squeezed sounds like energy is stuck in your head and you should try and sink your energy a little.
now the human being has a physical body, an energy body, and a spirit body. the chakras are located in the more spiritual aspect of your being.
this warmth that this "guru" is feeling is probably not kundalini it is probably just energy that has accumulated because the mind leads your energy. higher level spiritual understanding can't be understood from books it is literally mind to mind transmission from a teacher.
@@daboodeef179 No it's fine. It was temporary. Think of a nut being cracked open. Pressure is needed. The point I was trying to make is he has no experience of kundalini so he shouldn't be discussing it. This is a very dangerous subject to discuss because people who experience it in the west are in danger of believing that they are insane. If they go to a psychologist they will be deemed crazy and if they come online looking for info and hear what this man said it will not help the situation. Eastern ways are the only way for a Kundalini seeker. It doesn't not fit into western philosophy at all.
"Beliefs are not right or wrong; they are helpful or harmful."
Blows my mind.

Very basic 😍
Best, and most accurate, english video on Kundalini I've ever seen
This man does not have a lot of time for contemporary western yogis.I love this video very educational.Thank you.
as a student this gave me so much clarification on my experience last night with 🍄 as i did yoga. right timing 🙏🏼✨ ready to share it with others
25:25 part 3 the serpent's playground
life force = 5 kinds of PRANA
: prana - heart
: apana - trunk of the body
: vyana - pervading (spread through and present in every part of) body
: udana - throat
: samana - stomac
Pranas circulate body through NADIS
3 main nadis (72,000 total)
: sushumna - inside sprine from trunk to headsup
- links 7 chakras (wheels, lotus flowers)
: ida - trunk to left nostril
: pingala - trunk to right nostril
27:13 CHAKRAS
: muladhara chakra - 4 @ base of spine
: svadihisthana chakra - 6 @ - water
: manipura chakra - 10 @ navel - fire
: anahata chakra + 12 @ heart - air
: vishudda chakra - 16 @ throat - space
: anja chakra - 2 @ between eyebrows
: sahasrara - 1000 @ headsup
28:46 examining nadis & chakras
chakras are not involved in channeling prana
chakras have a kundalini yoga specialized role - as symbolic superimposed forms for sake of visualizing during meditation
31:43 explain difference
: descriptive statement - describing reality - this is blue
: prescriptive statement - prescribe what to do/not do - use blue
34:38 part 4 meeting the serpent
kundalini - coiled
shakti - power/energy
seen as a sleeping serpent coiled up at the base of spine, shred skin to reborn, part of myths
universe came from union of masculine shiva and feminine shakti (not hindu deities)
shiva : masculine principle - fabric of existence
shakti : feminine principle - creative power
samadhi - state of meditative absorption - gain spiritual knowledge/enlightment
all distracting mental activities are removed leaving only your true nature
42:28 inner pilgrimage - meditation on the chakras
: muladhara chakra - 4 @ base of spine (mula means root) - element earth
as yellow square - Lam mantra - Bramha god as creator of universe and root of existence
: svadihisthana chakra - 6 @ sacrum (means seat of existence)
- element water as white crescent moon - Vam mantra - Vishnu god as sustainer of universe
: manipura chakra - 10 @ navel (means house of gems) - element fire as red triangle - Ram mantra - Rudra god as hunter/warrior aspect of Shiva
: anahata chakra + 12 @ heart/lungs (means what cannot be struck, injured, killed - soul) - element air as six point figure - Yam mantra - beneficent Shiva god
: vishudda chakra - 16 @ throat (means pure, untainted) - space as transparent circle - Ham mantra - bi-gendered Shiva god
: anja chakra - 2 @ between eyebrows (means command, order) - no element - no mantra or Om mantra - no god or pure consciousness/light Shiva god
: sahasrara - 1000 @ headsup (means 1000 means infinity) - outside body - reach samadhi
Thankyou
Thank you so much for summarizing.
And dont forget the wind gates , now theres a word I haven't heard in a while. Yeah this is a great comment , cheers mate
Thank u!!
Thank you
Thank you, Swamiji. This is the most honest take on kundalini yoga I have ever seen. This will benefit mankind in years to come. it will bring back the ancient tradition back to it's true roots. Thank You again. May god give you the courage to say it as it is.
My Awakening intertwined politics, weight loss and regain love of plantbase diet (most of the time), learning to deal with indoctrination of Catholicism. My mind/body finally cracked after California's fires and family issues. Yoga, plantbase diet and search of truth brought me out of the Matrix. Seeking truth ♡ looking in the mirror ♡ extremely grateful to be here♡ Thank you
so beautiful! im so happy for you!
Keep pushing forward!
@@raikouno_ I was like a level 10 for high voltage coming out of me. Still don't know what happened but unbelievable emotion POURING out of me. Seriously! Wow!
Don't count the experience. Aim is to detach.
finally a really honest, fully informative, scientific and no-BS film on kundalini awakening. thank you this! i'm sure i'll come back to it again.
Every person has their own path. When you are ready, you will open up and the teacher will appear. I had practiced various forms of yoga and over time, I just opened up inside. I met my guru, she gave me a mantra and an Amythest crystal. From that, I met my "inner self" and all has been a deeper conciousness on the spiritual journey ever since.
If the number 1000 represents infinity in Hinduism, (the sehestraara), then my infinite 1000 pranaams to you , Sir! I didn't want to watch this video as I misconsidered it be the same as all the rest. I was WRONG. This is the most knowledgeable, and precious 1hr I have ever spent on anything.
All my doubts, all my queries are answered.But also an another dimension of clarity, and knowledge was gained through the wisdom you imparted to us all Sir.
I bow to you, the God ,the Universe for making me see this, as I could never ever expect such a gift of wisdom, it's a suprise for me.
The basic concepts that were cleared, what rishis actually told and what not, what is the difference between experience seeking and the seeker themself, just to name a few gems you explained. This is bliss.
Pranaama,
Om Namah Shivaay 💖💖🙏🏻🙏🏻
I 100% agree with u @S A M ... this gives me more understandingnof things...i was able to connect the dots...it is very helpful and precious.
Om Namah Shivaay, Jai bhole..Welcome to this divine experience my friend
Thankyou for sharing your kundalini yoga experience. My own experience of kundalini was very mixed. I was delivered the physical world, by Christian nun mediwife. As a child l spent two years living in a vicarage. Later l moved from a peaceful village lifestyle to a turbulent town life. I attended a child midweek prayer sessions. At the age of nine, l prayed that god would enter my life. The room was filled with light, but no one else saw the light. I walked home, bathed in love, light, bliss, which slowly disappeared after 3 days. Later at 16 l was confirmed, l felt a prickling sensation at my forehead, a feeling of a bird fluttering above my head. Years later after nursing, night duty, in a busy hospital, l did Hatha yoga, for back ache. During sitting meditation l experienced a rush of kundalini up the spine, hit the forehead, then subsided. Many years of sitting in front of world teachers, Hindu, Bhiuddist, Jewish and pranayama yogis, l begun my life journey. After raising kundalini, life revealed that there is seven chackras in the head. The journey via these, takes one step by step, through each level of awareness. Four levels, these reveal unspoken lessons, as each person is unique. For westerners, my advice is have belief in the creator and the final game of life, is recognition of universal love, is everywhere, energy is reflected by everything in the material, phschic and mental planes. Simply ask life, to unfold the pearls of wisdom, to prepare one to receive and to use gained insight, to find inner peace. Being peaceful within oneself, then your very physical presence on the earth, can be a blessing to help others on their individual pathway. Respect swamis, truthful teachers, of all traditions...but life teases...also respect the Devine within oneself. Aum Shanti, may all beings be peaceful. Just choose to start your journey now. Aumay, life will show you the rest.
What an absolutely perfect film describing Kundalini Yoga!~
A TRUE MASTERPIECE
Swami Tadatmananda I am so appreciative of how perfectly you must of worked to perfect this masterpiece. You gained more and more respect and trust from me, continually from the first minute to the last. The information within, which you have so gracefully and honestly presented is something I know that I can trust Unquestioned
Kindest and highest regards to you Swami
I've been told to research this today.
I've been practicing yoga for over 5 years.
Don't rush your awakening.
You need to balance it.
வாழ்கவளமுடன்
After 30 years of seeking answers on Kundalini, I finally got some answers. Thank you very much for sharing your journey with me. God bless you.
There’s an energy that resides inside you that rises up when your centres are balanced. Enlightenment happens down the road from the rising of this energy. My energy is rising indefinitely as well as my heart chakra felt like it expanded enormously. Eventually I energetically blew out into everything only by service of of my environment. I learned the secretes of life by paying attention to my experiences and these experiences allowed me to grow and understand. It’s a painful process as well as a blissful one. One can’t know bliss without knowing pain on the same level. I was born unbounded and became bounded to learn and then became unbounded once again. I practiced yoga, karate, Zen Buddhism but nothing completely. I just lived my life and tried my best to be a good person. My energy was always active and yours is too. The difference was motive. I didn’t want to be enlightened, I wanted to just care and love, the enlightenment is a byproduct.
It's always been a puzzle why great experiences never stayed, why I went back to ignorance. The growth of knowledge is slow and steady. I now understand the reason for both yoga and advaita....thank you for all your work.
I've meditated for some time, and attempted a UA-cam meditation video about Kundalini Yoga and he went through all Chakra points and raised the serpent in 32 minutes. I believe I achieved Samadhi, and I feel as if the experience was similar to yours Swami Tadatmananda. When reaching the crown chakra the white light was there barely a second and almost made me open my eyes to see where the light was coming from, and the pressure of the blood in my body was intense throughout all chakras. My hands felt almost stiff from the rush of blood. I mention the experience because I was unsure if I reached Samadhi truly, so I compared my experience. I do believe I reached it once before a couple of years ago, but I worried that a 32 minute Kundalani rising might not be possible. I do not care about reaching Samadhi, but from the experience I feel I've learned about my true nature. I hope to continue down this path, thank you for your videos and the profound knowledge you have to share, it is appreciated by all.
Anybody looking for additional study material, look up Samadhi on UA-cam for a documentary further into the Buddhist aspect.
After further study, I found pranayama breathing techniques is key in this yoga.
As a regular practitioner of Kundalini Yoga, I found your video to be a review of things we are taught as we go through advanced teacher training. Too, it has prompted me to ensure that my focus remain on the acquisition of spiritual knowledge rather than experiences. I found your use of the term "bait and switch" to be appropriate. I suppose there is some of that going on, even if unconsciously. However, speaking for myself, it is way of saying, "look over here, I have something wonderful to share with you that will assist you in getting to know who you really are--a divine, spiritual being whose nature is pure consciousness." Thank you.
I think the best part of the video is where we find beliefs are not right or wrong; they are helpful or harmful.
💕✨📿 i met your teacher, Swami Dayananda in 1984 in Hawaii and attended a week of evening lectures on the University of Hawaii campus. It is a special memory.🙏
The depth of knowledge is profound. The expanations completely unbaised . This is the best i have watched in my newly started journey of self discovery.
Spin around!
I began my spiritual journey with Kriya Yoga which is a variation of kundalini heavily influenced by meditation on the 7 chakras 20 years ago. I still practice some forms of kriya breathing. But doe to my scientific background, it has always been so difficult for me to believe on chakras! So, I found Advaita Vedanta a better path to liberation. At last, I find a master who expelled all my questions about chakras some of them I had sensed before, such as that the fact that it does not matter if they exist or not, but as an instrument for practice. Now, I can continue my Kriya practice as a secondary cause as swami Tadadmananda explain. Thank you swamiji, you are a great teacher.
@Jorge Rodriguez
Well i have also given meditation a try....but not as sincerely as you....
I think the way of kundalinin is majorly for superpowers etc etc....the best way for enlightenment is devotion....Live in the heart....I remeber hearing a saint say "If u wanna medidate...then do it like jesus"....For our cultures it would be Hanumanji....Both symbol of devotion and unbounded love...Kundalini sounds spooky...."Mooji" also called for avoiding this kundalini energy play....
My goal is just to be one with my creator....When i see him....i wanna see him with no place for any doubt...I want such clarity that i'd doubt my own existence for doubting his...The so called Superpowers of an enlightened being do interest me....but they don't seem effort worthy much...What's your opinion on this???
You should go into how kundalini can be provoked some what “randomly” without practicing it for some people and how if the person doesn’t know what is going on they can easily end up in a place that’s not all blissful and in many western societies can easily be mistaken for psychosis, when most likely what is happening is the “snake” arose without clearing the pathway of the “chakras”. This is a huge reason why they say that these things can sometimes take prior knowledge and some practice in meditation. which ever way you achieve kundalini, let the knowledge of the universe inside of you lead the way and be the ultimate enlightenment for you and your future! 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️
Been there 😅
I am having those experiences now, that is why im triying to understand this better. If you have a book or a reading about this that you can suggest I would appreciate it a lot.
@@carlosalbertobarrazalopez I can relate
I had an "accidental crowning" many years ago, and occupied every place in the Universe simultaneously. When I returned to my body I was covered in Amrita. I had no idea what had occurred. For decades I pursued the experience instead of the journey to enlightenment. 30 years later I'm seeking enlightenment through Kundalini.
@@Vibeland 1974 - I was working as a commercial fisherman in Alaska. I got tangled in the net and taken off the stern of the boat. I was under the water struggling to get free and I wasn't. This had become death impending. It is hard to convey the sheer terror. But it felt like a bolt of lightening went up my spine. I lost physical consciousness for a moment or two, I was pulling myself back up to the surface. It was a period of doing psychedelics and reading spiritual texts. Some very bad ones. Some weeks later I started to have 'knowledge' about the 2nd coming, the war between dark and light. ended up being diagnosed with schizophrenia. I have learned a lot about it and function well. Above it all, I am happy. Off the bat, if any of this sounds familiar. Drop doing anything that goes beyond the gross physical world. Work in the garden, do thins with bricks or wood or anything that does not go into "meanings" - Especially is any of these deal with what a fantastic person you are. "Face" must be switched off to make progress on any spiritual endeavor.
Your whole approach to Kundalini yoga was very illuminating !Thank you!
Thank You, Swami. Being One without any prior and formal spiritual teachings, I have experienced the blessing of Awakening, a state of new understanding, bliss and rupturing life energy within me three years ago with much confusion. I have been informally reading, listening and learning ever since and embarked on a beautiful spiritual journey. I was lost, but I am guided now.
Thank you for your comprehensive teaching and for your kindness in the simplicity in summarizing the wisdom and the experience of Kundalini Yoga.
In my experience, One, without any formal spiritual upbringing, needs only to follow the pointers of an enlightened teacher with clear intention, attention, and concentration, without striving and without being attached to an outcome nor be confused by the details of extensive ancient scriptures. Unless that is the intention.
Due to an illness, I have started seeking spiritual guidance, practiced asanas and pranayamas and spent much time meditating, making sure I follow the most authentic teachings available to me.
The experience of being One, Samadhi erased all the doubts and questions in my life.
Ones again, Thank you, Swami, for your work and gentle kindness.
"Beliefs are not right or wrong. They are helpful or harmful." Very well said - so much harm could be prevented, if people would keep that in mind.
This may be a dualistic statement.
Thats a pragmatists perspective on truth. You should check out Jordan Peterson if you haven't already.

you are dead wrong.
beliefs can be so wrong that gobshites kill themselves because a comet is coming to take them to the rapture party.
some people believe trump to be the messiah as opposed to a failed businessman/person/father/president/man woman/tv
respecting peoples nonsense beliefs is where the problem lies
Beliefs can be right or wrong, both in the sense of “helpful and harmful” and in the sense “factual (or actual) and false”. I don’t think we would need to explore this proposition for very long before you would start to back off of the position you’re advocating here, modifying it to suit the new information and such. It may be more accurate to say the certain types or categories of belief are neither right or wrong. Others areas of belief are made up of propositions that are demonstrably true or false. Just throwing that in so that all things are considered and we don’t end up with a living in cartoon version of reality. Language can lead one astray. Believe me, I hate to interject this stuff. It’s a thankless task, but necessary nonetheless.

I really appreciate that there's someone who makes it easy for my lazy ass to learn all these amazing things. You are blessing, may your videos find inspired students!
When you say "my lazy ass," your mind thinks that you have a lazy ass. Instead say, "my energetic body is full of cosmic vibration" so your brain will think this way and your life will change.

I'm very impressed by your meditative and spiritual experience, your clear exposition and humility, and the light that you throw on to what have become very confusing topics. May you continue to be blessed with wisdom and happiness x
This was not what i expected, but was exactly what i needed. Thank you so much for this free wisdom.
Pranam Swami,
I introduce my self, my name I KETUT DONDER. I am Hindu in Bali, Indonesia.
I very happy look your youtube. I hope one time I can meet you.
My full pray to you.
Sincerely,
I KETUT DONDER
How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world.
i can't even start to explain how valuable this video is!
Hey this was the best video about anything spiritual ive seen in a long time, maybe ever! So easy to understand. And you didnt use that weird, over the top all-knowing tone a lot of gurus use to explain this stuff. I felt like a friend was teaching me something simple. I also love the fact that you showed us the original texts and also shared an actual explanation of whether the chakras „really” „exist” or not. I was always very confused about that. I will use what you taught me during meditation! Thank you again!!!
Well writen. My thoughts exacly.❤
Finally finished the video today after watching it in pieces. How lucky are we to live in a time where knowledge like this a tap away. People before us spent ages getting this knowledge. Thank you.
Thank you for sharing your sacred knowledge.
I've had an inner interest in yoga for a long time but didn't really feel ready for it. Now I know why... because I want to learn about the original knowledge, not the Westernized one. You have shown me the way to go. Now I am ready to advance 🙏
Give a shoutout when you get there ❤️🙏🏽❤️
dont just chose anything without doing proer research. See 10 types of these thing and select 1 or 2.
The explosion of white light was how I had my "kundalini awakening" after 2 hour meditating ...and the state was something that I can't describe properly giving I'm not trained well enough...it's like a sense of detachment, it took me a bit until I was able to move my body after I came up from it...now I keep on feeling this type of warm liquid up and down the spine, intense warmth, tingling sensations or pressure. Read the book of Gopi Krishna to understand all of this and I can relate to quite a few things, this is being quite heavy on the body. The 3rd eye opened as well, so it has been quite an experience...with all of this I stopped being an atheist...
Congratulations :)
This guy is giving a "modern" perspective on what you experienced: ua-cam.com/video/Kd9aVMet5u8/v-deo.html
In episode 29 he shares the meditation method, and described something similar to what you're describing. Which I also want to experience.
I am solitary and woke up spiritually..I've nothing but the internet to get guidance in the physical world...EVVERYTHING THIS MAN SAID CAME TO ME INTUITIVELY....THAT is the power of the universe!! SO COOL
Good job 👍

You’re welcome ☘️
Exactly, yes it wasn’t you ,
But it’s you also who submitted, go with it and let life’s energy rises you to where we supposed to be as humans 🌿
Kundalini and other energies of the universe can only be mastered by a solitary and celibate person. No surprise your intuition is very strong, because you're not wasting your energies on primal desires
People do definitely engage in experience seeking, but some people genuinely resonate with spiritual and mystical traditions 🙏🏼
I have never understood these teachings until today. In search of my own spirituality, I came across this video. You make it easy to understand and explore ways to grow into the spiritual world. Thank you for sharing your experiences and methods to attain enlightenment in a clear way. You brought up a good point with experience seeking. I did not seek to practice Kundalini Yoga in order to have tangible feelings of euphoria, I simply want to understand my own spirit and to have a better understanding of what lies outside of my consciousness. Thank you for helping to guide others to understand and practice
I am looking to connect with people who practice meditation and are interested in spirituality. LinkedIn or email. Any method works for me. Can we connect?
Same . New subscriber...
Thank you very much for this information. As a young woman living in western Europe, sometimes it gets a bit hard to distingiush between "new age bs" and real ancient knowledge. Thanks for helping out!
This is a monumental work and a wonderful and clear explanation of something I've struggled to understand for years. Thank you for creating this and for articulating the principals so clearly. I am excited to learn more.
I will say this though, you have a peaceful charm in your voice. It has a calming effect and it reflects your peace :)
ABSOLUTELY AMAZING 🙏🌹 THAT IS THE POWER OF INNER CALMNESS!!
So thankful for finding your chanel, Swami Tadatmananda. I cannot imagine a clearer way to explain each lesson than you do. This is so helpful. Thank you! Edit: I think that kundalini yoga might be offering use something unique because we live in a world where we are given a highly scientific, even Cartesian view of the human being, and a general disbelief in anything more than materialism (since Nietzsche announced "the death of God"). An experience of kundalini rising may offer us a glimpse of a greater reality going beyond mechanistic materialism and this can be very liberating and an encouragement to explore further.

In your teachings you have only been shown one way by your masters. To study in other areas of your journey shows great open mindedness. The greatest challenge we face in life is to challenge our beliefs, and to go beyond our comfort zone. Remember that open minds embrace being wrong, are totally free of illusions, don't mind what people think of them, and question everything, even themselves. This some see as self doubt, but when a thirst for knowledge enters the equation then it sets our self growth on our spiritual path. Namaste 🙏
I had practiced this 7 years back, but couldn't continue due to some unavoidable circumstances. Based on experiences I had after regular practice (like change in personality/confidence/stronger gut feelings, feeling others emotions etc) , I was sure that one can attain outer body experiences if they continue kundalini meditation and get more eased into the process by virtue of more and more practice.
Glad that I came across this video. I'll start my journey again :)
Don't let your ego trick you into giving up this time.
good luck. You can do it.
Thanks, and fyi, from my experience there are a few practices that improved meditation efficiency :
1) Time: It's more effective @ around 3 to 5 AM. Maybe due to low noice at that time.
2) A good 10-15 minute stretching session and some body flexing workout before sitting helps a Lot.
3) Exercise (I used body weight workouts and morning runs) for atleast half an hour daily. That opens up the whole body, and it adds a feedback effect on overall goodness.
Lastly, I never had a guru, and I kept improving based on what felt better. Also, it had no negative impact on me in any way. It was always a massively positive experience for me.
Thank you so very much. Listening to you today, was like swimming in a clear calm pond on a summer day. Large contrast to todays drama everywhere. Thank you for all your hard work making this. It reached my soul, and ment alot. Love and peace, from Lise in Norway
Thank you for the wonderful course. Few folks out there are ready for these teachings. Most people who have read these Sanskrit Vedic knowledge take pride in reciting it with absolutely no understanding of it, let alone having wisdom. Rarely have I come across a Guru with wisdom, compassion and true knowledge like you. Thank you 🙏 again.
I would love to share my experience as this video really inspired me. I was raised a conventional Western Christian and I became angry at Jesus because Jesus never answered my prayers. I was a young girl very abused and didn’t understand why Jesus wouldn’t help me from my child molesting father. Yet Jesus came to me in a lucid dream later in life. He was a bright light and spoke telepathically to me. He said I never meant for you to worship me I left my word for you to follow me follow me and know me and when you know me you become me when you become me you will be as powerful as me. I knew then that I had to transform my ego and I had to open my heart and I had to follow the light. I do my own type of yoga using sound and water before I even knew what yoga was. My body made movements that were foreign to me yet these movements came automatically & I feel needed to occur for spiritual enlightenment. Now I realize that humans who worship Jesus but do not transform themselves are not really followers of the light. I am glad for my enlightenment, it has washed away many fears & self-doubts and insecurities within my human body but I will say that if we are all consciousness and we are all one then nothing that we feel here really even matters because we will forget it at death however, I am inspired by Don Juan in the book, ‘Carlos Castaneda’, who believes in being born-again or birthing your Astral body. so when we birth our spirit/astral body and are able to fly to the cosmos, we can live forever. Jesus said you cannot see the kingdom unless you’re born again or birth your spirit body. Many astral travel & know the secrets of the universe. The sick lie in conventional religions is the denial of this spirit body through opening of chakras. Even the pope carries a staff with a pine cone on it. Vatican City has a pine cone as their emblem. A pine cone is a symbol for the pineal gland. But terms like “pineal gland” or “chakras” are not spoken. No, all power is taken away from followers of Christ as they truly believe Jesus will become their power. Yet, Jesus never said he would do anything. He said to follow him but that the kingdom of heaven is within US; not in him. We must transform into the way, truth & life in order to birth the astral body.
Thank you Mary for taking the time to share this. It was a message I needed at this moment to confirm the true path I am on now. . . finally. Love and Light. Amen.
Alexandra Rodriguez An ABUNDANCE of JOY to you! 🌟
@@hrmagoo Thank you.
beautiful thanks for sharing i agree with u
That's true sister Jesus the Christ is the way, the truth and the light. He walk and talk in us, Christ located at our pineal, the Father God located in our pituitary, and our Will should always surrender to higher Will, this located in the thyroid. While the four lower Chakra should balance specially our solar flexus in the adrenal gland which is the uncontrollable when we are anger, I'd like to share that the Lord's Prayer is the best way to invite the kundalini to move up from the base of spine, this is the safest way when doing meditation using the Lord's Prayer. You can feel the body seem different sensation never felt before. Do regularly.
You, Swami Tadatmananda, are so heartwarming!
Kundalini activation has forced me to practice ALL Yogas in my life. They are all necessary in order to have the discipline integrity to handle the energy flows of Kundalini.
Thank you so much that was very pleasant to listen to I practice 25 years of the vipassana meditation and I do know seven years of kundalini yoga alongside with it it is a beautiful practice when is the silence to mind the other one is to strengthen the body and I think that we should not strive for enlightenment because as a matter of fact we are already enlightened it is the road towards remembering who you are so let’s keep on smiling and think from the heart 🙏🏻💕
I appreciated the video! But most importantly retracting on comments made earlier about the new western adaptations after he experiences for himself. That just showed how easy it can be to have new information presented and learn. Thank you!
I second this! Watched the entire video in one sitting (which is very unusual for me) because it was so very interesting and beautifully explained. The visuals were quite nice as well.
I too seriously appreciated the statement about accepting western adaptations. :)
This is really crazy... im newbie on meditation and stumbled across your video randomly. I have no knowledge of Kundalini Yoga. What you explained on your 20th day, happened to me few days ago. There was this intense pressure in the middle of my forehead and I just let it grow and then suddenly everything fades. The pressure was gone. All I feel is calmness. It felt like I don't have a body. It kinda feels like a light but I don't visualize it all I know is I felt it. Also, It felt like my head was was looking up... but when the feeling was gone... I opened my eyes, my head isn't looking up but just looking forward. It's really hard to explain but its true what you said, the experience is life changing. Hoping I can achieve it again.
Experienced this a couple weeks ago. Your brows start shaking and your whole body starts vibrating its a really crazy experience. I was also filled with extreme amounts of joy and hope, it was otherworldly.
This video brought up a new perspective towards chakras and kundalini, thank you.
Clarity is the hallmark of Swamiji. He is clear about whatever he talks including the experience of Samadhi. Study of Kundalini Yoga is made easy with this video.
I am not a strong believer in all the mysticism associated with Chakra meditation and I am of the opinion that sleeping serpents are best left alone. But I am struggling to find the concentration for meditation and to keep up the routine. So I gave Chakra meditation a try just accepting that Chakras are energy points. I really feel very happy and calm when I focus on my heart Chakra. I have super tingling and pulsating sensations in my head when I focus on my crown chakra. It is helping me to stay focused, relaxed, empty my mind on everything else and I feel very peaceful. I don’t feel other Chakras at all may be because my belief is limited and my purpose is not to seek for that limitless energy but for peace and happiness.
Everyone has a strengths and weaknesses. For me , the heart Chakra is too intense, so I tend to stay in the third eye.
@@landphilspecter Have you tried transforming the heart Chakra's energy into other areas of your body (physical or energetical)?
Sometimes I feel a huge rush of energy in one Chakra, creating imbalance, but often this is just an accumulation of energy that can be transformed to another state (more physical, or more ethereal).
@@thehumanpractice2985I'll try experimenting; I'm trying to get more in touch with the ethereal, but I'm still a novice... Thanks for the input!
Thanks Swamiji for this amazing video on Kundalini Yoga, We Indians ourselves are loosing out and forgetting this ancient knowledge of wisdom and we need to relook, learn and understand it, Om.
My tradition uses this if you can be near the teacher. It's called Drukama check it out. Be well!
No Indian is forgetting. There are many people who turn toward Yogic practise.
But as history is witness no mass of people is attracted towards it.
But once if one get desire to find the Yogic treasure, it's not difficult to find with by grace and direction of Guru.
Kundalini yoga was not commen in past, everyone never practised hath or kundalini yoga, only fortunate people find path by Guru and turn towards it. A very few people desires to be free and practise it, the others only read Yog books and enjoys worldy life like me.
Having desire is first necessity to go ahead in yogmarg.
Almost a million and a half views in your first year. Congratulations. Very interesting presentation and a quality production too. We'll see how the "original" kundalini yoga holds up in light of the many additional iterations that have naturally evolved over the years. Thank you Swami.
I am extremely thankful for Swamiji for his kindness to share his knowledge and experience. Very informative and authentic.
This is a very clear and informative film about kundalini yoga and I have used the method described. Thank you :)
In 2016 my Kundalini Spontaneously awakened in emptiness meditation. It was the most powerful and intense experience of my life. We're not talking like a little bit of prana moving from one chakra to the next. We are talking about energy that felt overwhelming like a freight train ripping up my spine and opening each chakra. I saw all past lives in the Ajna. I saw all the ways I was holding on in this lifetime. When It went to the crown I experienced a level of bliss and euphoria that I did not know was possible for a human being. I honestly thought I would die because the experience was so intense. Upon searching for the seer of this experience and all lives past, there was a dissolution of I and an experience of pervasive vast emptiness. Ever since this experience happened to me, I have felt kundalini energy surging 24/7. There have been a lot of difficult side effects with this too, like insomnia, pressures in the head and body, kriyas, emotional purging, occasional anxiety when energy is opening blocks etc but also positive experiences too like samadhi, overwhelming bliss, unity consciousness, feeling like being dissolved in love, etc.
But it has continued dissolving any residual sense of self that survived initially. The more I surrender to the Kundalini and to the present moment, the more I am able to integrate this. When I do not do that, I end up in a lot of side effects and suffering.
What helps me is weed and mushrooms every once in a while. Meditation/ exercise everyday.
Cole Masiuk i resonate with this so much. It happened all so suddenly!
@@56poolfrankherrera , i tried mashroom...didnt feel anything. I tried bufo, that didnt work either because i was fully conscious
Cole Masiuk Yeah sure.
@@emancipatedhost4598 i believe it tbh
This film is amazing. I like it very much. Kundalini waking experience is my eternal never ending dream and goal in my life
Swami please be my Guru!! Thank you for undertaking this project and explaining it all so wonderfully. Peace be with you brother for now and always
The way you r explain each chakra n their respective elements is just beyond beautiful 😇
Very well done. The best pure explanation I've ever seen on video. Your humility and straight forward language is very much appreciated.
My entire spiritual journey started when I first did Lsd and Psilocybin.

@Ants C There is no drug in the universe ! Theres only different perception. I can say that chocolate is a drug , even meat can be a drug. It all depend on your perception
This just started for me in April, 2024. My sister, rest her soul, actually started an awakening in me. It seems that I have a direct signal to her. I often get surges of energy through my whole body for up to 30 seconds. Sometimes it's just in the brain or legs. It's intense now that I have focused in on it. Had about 25 surges like this in one day. I would love to chat with anyone else who has had this experience. It's really blowing my mind.
Swami Tadatmananda,
This was a wonderful teaching. Your willingness to challenge your beliefs through experience was powerful and wise. I believe you are correct in your awareness and concern about the pursuit of new experiences. Your explanations were so clear and reasonable. There are so many “gurus” online and, honestly, I have been wary of following any of them. I have been been interested in kundalini shakti, but am concerned about engaging in awakening it without a good base of knowledge and practice with a good teacher. You’ve given me encouragement that it’s possible. I will subscribe to your site, read and learn first. Thank you for sharing your experience with the collective. Namaste 🙏🏻.
He is a good scholar and well intended practioner. I like his calm voice and knowledge of the veda. I'm sure he can experience samadhi effortlessly. My it is obvious he has not experience Kundalini in its full power.
Giovanni Santostasi Maybe started practicing at a late age
One of the most credible and well structured documents about true meditation I have ever watched.
This is the best teacher I have ever seen.
I have seen the video twice, because I don't feel that I could comprehend the full knowledge represented to me, the first time.
It's not a video I will share to my friends, how try to kill me, to be me: friends how think this is a spiritual competition.
It also confirming my feeling that, the "Ice man's" breathing techniques is spiritual violence for my body, just to mention it.
Kundalini chakra is like school where the main goal of learning is been abandoned by students to earn grades 😅
I think it makes it easier to learn to meditate when you know the chakras aren't actually really inside your body.. makes you not expect something to happen
Not true they are inside you i felt 3 inside me so farI'm waiting for me anahata to activate and im a Christian this just happened to me it of no where
I had never heard of Kunalini, until I was meditating one day and felt said "jerks" throughout my body. It scared me, so I called the only person I knew who might know what the heck just happened to me. She was my cousin, and she told me about Kundalini. I have since done research, and have heard from several people that the movements are indeed part of the "experience". I don't pretend to know what they mean, but I do know that I feel them every time I meditate now. I don't have to be meditating at all, in fact. I now feel them, out of nowhere.
I clicked on this video and in the blink of an eye, I’m 30 mins in.
This is the most academic explanation I ever saw on the internet! I liked it a lot. Thank you for your time and devotion! Gr Reza
Best Kundalini video online, I am grateful for you!
Literally to the 1% who's reading this, God bless you, and may your dreams come true, stay safe and have a wonderful day
Copy n paste comment
Kundalini energy can activate at anytime , anywhere and to anyone. It is NOT exclusively through "spiritual" practice. Accidents, trauma, intention, etc... can produce spontaneous activation and/or full awakenings. I have seen this in others and experienced a full awakening myself. Peace.
I guess I can activate it anytime then, but I do feel drain the longer I hold onto the activation.
Like a violent fart...
@Margaret i just drained my pecker of pee, it only takes minutes to rebuild that...
@Margaret : true!
absolutely stunning production values and clarity. So grateful for this channel.
Excellent, clear and giving the original sacred books meaning of Kundalini Yoga.
It amazes me how experienced people / teachers generalise their personal experiences!
We are living in amazing times! The rising darkness in the world probably has to do with the awakening of mankind. When light emerges, darkness will show too! In Mexico I have seen large groups of buddhist meditators, in Japan I came about a group of people who were deeply engaged in south American shamanism, in Germany, my own Country people are engaging with spirituality like never before. It gives me hope that we can turn the ship around. May all sentient beings be happy and free!
Manuel Weihrauch Many Thanks for sharing,your wisdom.
Even in the worst country in the world a rise is occuring. Ya the 🇺🇸
Clear and well organized. An excellent video that sheds light on the ancient spiritual tradition of yoga. Thank you.
About 7 or 8 years ago, out of nowhere, a surge of energy rushed up my spine, through my forehead and out of the top of my head. At once, my "past self" completely disappeared, and I became one with the Universe. I understand everything. This "state of mind" lasted 2 weeks, which I seemed to keep myself in with some simple mantras "honour the process" "universe is me" jesus is me".
This happened again 2 years later, but this time it lasted 3 weeks.
Each time I thought it was a new state of mind I was always going to be, but it "faded" when my "false self" entered into my mind again.
Prior to this, I never knew anything about meditation, never did any yoga or mantras, never did any breathing exercises or even considered enlightenment. I was spiritual, but didn't believe in God. This changed completely.
Does anyone know anything about this, or has it happened to anyone?
@Brett Collier wow .... Can we have a conversation outside of this? Look for me on Facebook Messenger I'll be the only person of my name in the world. Would love to talk to you more about this
The awakening is related to your Karma and your karma alone. Even if you tell anyone in details there is no use of it. Do you feel cool breeze at top of your head.
@@madakhseham no cool breeze, no. Related to karma..... Yes this is something I have heard a lot. Like everything that was ever known through this cellular line emerged. It all came alive. Which is fine, but it's the oneness, the bliss, the ecstacy, the joy, the eternal life .... That's what baffles me
@Richard Conner yes. I had read his books prior to the experience. Everything he said became a lived experience....
@@CoexistenceSteven I will suggest. Keep meditating that will help you move to higher spiritual planes which we generally do not perceive using physical senses. Keep the practice on and you will get knowledge from unknown sources because Yoga is said be the teacher of itself.
Source our universe is expanding every day. It is not about exclusiveness it is about inclusiveness. The traditions are sacred and do need to be respected, but we cannot put ourselves in boxes and still expect to expand. Our lives represent expansion and growth. I believe we are on the journey of enlightenment and growing throughout. Our souls expansion to always follow others and not expand upon that is to remain in the box so I appreciate your video, but I think it is very exclusive I have had no drug experiences to speak of. Yet I have expanded my kundalini through diet fasting breathing meditation, prayer and deep healing of patterns, which have interfered with my soul growth. We are always learning. We are always expanding the boundaries of source we should never limit ourselves. We are limitless beings. Namaste brother.
In the Bhagavad Gita Krishna says that for one who is sincere in their seeking enlightenment they will be helped by Krishna from within. Therefore one cannot be without guidance to reawaken their true divine nature, the main qualification is that one is genuinely desirous of the Truth.
Raje Vikramaditya this is not meant to be related to any religious beliefs as it is is a direct passage from the original Sanskrit within the Bhagavad Gita chapter 10 verse 11 (‘Out of compassion for them, I, dwelling in their hearts, destroy with the shining lamp of knowledge the darkness born of ignorance.’) this is Krishna’s words not mine or a prophet or guru.
Prabhupada, in the purport says, ‘if he is sincere in his devotional service he is helped by Krishna himself within his heart. So the sincere devotee engaged in Krishna consciousness cannot be without knowledge.
On a personal note, I have direct realised awareness that it is possible for anyone who is genuinely seeking enlightenment and desires to know the Truth, can reawaken their true awareness and become a self realised spirit soul and regain their true loving relationship with Krishna, thus they are directly aware of the supreme personality of godhead and reawaken their eternal relationship and pastimes.
You may believe that fire burns yet if you put a hand in the flame you will have realised it!
Though I have spent only 60yrs in this form, my journey spans eternity!
There’s more I could say though your path is yours and depending upon the consequences of your choices!
‘Sarva-dharmān parityajya
Mām ekam śaranam vraja
Aham tvām sarva-pāpebhyo
Moksayisyāmi mā śucah’
Bhagavad Gita
As it is
Chapter 18 verse 65!
You are correct in that the Vedas are a library of knowledge.
Though so many choose materialistic and illusory sensory awareness when these attachments bind the spirit soul to maya and are unable to provide any real benefit or contentment!!!
Love and light my friend
Namasté
I believe I've achieved this sitting quietly in a chair. No chants, breathing regularly, no chakras... just silent meditation. At work. In front of a security camera 🤣
Thank you swamiji for this wonderful journey 🙏
we enjoy the way you investigate on yourself and teach us the results, just like the scientist you are ❤
Namaste 🙏
Thank you. This was absolutely brilliant for my understanding.
m.ua-cam.com/video/aQyVUxcKbWU/v-deo.html
You’d love this video
Thank you for taking the time to make this, this was hugely moving in particular about 'experience seeking', your epilogue on the subject was very humourous, I imagined an wise man saying something like 'there are many ways to carry water from the river to the field...' ;) I found this particularly useful for me as a musician/artist/writer as I have desired to excel but I lacked trust in myself why I wanted to excel. I have spent many years pulling at the threads, feeling what they are connected to. It is not warranted in my view to pursue something for validation from others solely as it feels selfish, but I worry I may be dangerously close to inflicting damage on my creativity out of fear of any validation whatsoever.
The pessimist looks down and hits his head. The optimist looks up and loses his footing.
The realist looks forward and adjust his path accordingly. I must adjust my path to the upper astral realm through seeking wisdom. May this be my last reincarnation.
Thank you Swamiji. You made a lot of good points and said a lot of things that needed to be said. One thing I want to add: When the Kundalini is activated the the Kundalini becomes the Guru. However, one need to meditate once or twice a day, twice is better, in that way the Kundalini will teach you what you need to know so that one can reach the goal of Samadhi.Thanks for the video. Om!
