Swami Lakshmanjoo hablando con Alice Christensen sobre el objetivo final del Shaivismo de Cachemira. !Un raro destello de la experiencia de un santo! LA META FINAL EN EL SHAIVISMO DE CACHEMIRA En la filosofía shaiva, ¿se podría decir que la meta final es la unión? ¿Cuál es la meta final de la filosofía shaiva? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: La meta final de la filosofía shaiva es la unión de la persona con la conciencia universal. ALICE: Y esa conciencia universal... SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Es Dios ALICE: ¿Se encuentra disposición todo el tiempo, Swamiji? ¿Sólo tienes que buscarlo? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, la conciencia universal la encontrarás en todos y cada una de las personas, pero está en el fondo, está en un estado de escondido en este momento. Cuando practicas y meditas en algún punto explicado por tu maestro, entonces esta individualidad se desvanece en la universalidad. Y llega el momento en que la conciencia universal se eleva en el propio cuerpo. Y experimentas esa conciencia universal. Y ese es el estado experimentado de Dios. Pero experimentar esa conciencia universal no es una experiencia directa.[ es como caminar por la orilla de ese gran océano de la conciencia] ALICE: ¿Cómo sabes cuando te estás acercando a ese estado, Swamiji? ¿Cuáles son las señales en el camino? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: La memoria viene a ti: "Oh, yo ya he estado en la conciencia universal, anteriormente, y no lo sabía" Esta es una señal de esa experiencia. Sientes, en el momento de la subida de esa conciencia universal, sientes allí una memoria. ALICE: ¿Como si hubieras estado allí antes; como si lo hubieras sentido antes? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí ALICE: Swamiji este estado de superconciencia que reconoces cuando te golpea y piensas, "Oh, he sentido esto antes", entonces ¿Qué pasa? ¿Cuáles son los signos para un hombre o una mujer en el Yoga? ¿Qué es lo que buscan, a dónde van desde allí? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No miran. Sienten esa conciencia, la conciencia de Dios, como fuentes de gozo excesivo. ALICE: Felicidad Felicidad. Es un gozo supersexual. ALICE: Un gozo sexual. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No es gozo sexual individual. Es un gozo supersexual. Digamos que es un gozo millones de veces más denso que el gozo sexual. ALICE: ¿Es continuo? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Contínuo por mucho tiempo y fluye en todas y cada una de las venas de tu cuerpo. Estás intoxicado con ese gozo. ALICE: ¿Y lo sientes durante horas y horas o días? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Permanece sólo por tres o cuatro segundos, y el resto de tu vida estás intoxicado con ese gozo. De acuerdo con Abhinavagupta, si permaneces durante una hora, entonces este cuerpo dejaría de existir. ALICE: Mueres SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí, no puedes tolerar esa intensidad de gozo en tu cuerpo limitado. Tienes que deshacerte de este cuerpo, destrozarlo, estar indiferenciado con lo divino. ALICE: Gozo supersexual, es un tremendo estado de gozo. ¿Los yoguis tienen este sentimiento cuando mueren? ¿Es así la muerte para los yoguis? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí. ALICE: Por eso no la temen, la aman... SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Aman la muerte.

La meta final del shaivismo de Cachemira Swami Lakshmanjoo talking to ALICE Christensen about the final goal in Kashmir Shaivism. This is part 3 of a series of video interviews. A rare glimpse into the experience of a saint! ALICE: In the Shaivite philosophy, could you say that the final goal is union? What is the final goal of a Shaivite? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: The final goal is Shaivite philosophy is when the individual unites with universal consciousness. ALICE: And that universal consciousness… SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Is God ALICE: It is in use all the time, Samiji? Do you just have to lok for it? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, universal consciousness you will find in each and every individual, but is in the background, it is in the subsided state at this time. When you practice and meditate on some point explained by your master, then by and by this individuality vanishes in universality. And the time comes when universal consciousness rises in one´s own body. And you experience that universal consciousness. And that is the state of God experiences. But experiencing that universal consciousness is not direct experience. ALICE: How do you know when you are even approaching something like that, Smamiji? What are your signposts on the road? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Memory comes in you: “oh, I was in universal consciousness already, previously, and I didn´t know it” This is a sign of that experience. You feel, at the time of rising of that universal consciousness, you feel ther is memory. ALICE: Oh, I see, memory of past things. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, you feel at the time of rising of that universal consciousness in you, you feel there is memory. ALICE: Ah, as if you have been there before. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Yes. ALICE: Swamiji, this super-conscious state, that you kind of recognize when it hits you think, “oh, I felt this before” then what happens? Then what are the signs there for a man or a woman who is into yoga, like that? What do they watch for? Where do they go from there? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: They don’t watch! They feel that God consciousness as the flood and fountain of excessive of joy . . . ALICE: Happiness. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Happiness. It is super-sexual joy. ALICE: A sexual happiness. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: It is not individual sexual joy. It is super-sexual joy. Say a hundred thousand million times more intense joy than that sexual joy. ALICE: And it continues a long time. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: It continues a long time and it flows, flows in each and every vein of your body. You are intoxicated with that bliss but… ALICE: And you just feel over hours and hours or days? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, it remains only for three or four seconds and for the rest of your life is . . . ALICE: The rest of your life is affected by that. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: If it should remain, according to the theory of Abhinavagupta, remove you should remain for one hour then this body won’t exist. ALICE: You die. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Finished, yes. You can not tolerate that intensity of joy in this limited body. You have to throw this, shatter this body. You become one with that divine. ALICE: So this super sexual joy is just such a tremendous joyful state, do yogis go into this feeling when they die? Is this what death is for a yogi? SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Yes. ALICE: That’s why they don’t fear it. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: (shakes his head) They love it. They love death. ALICE: (laughing) they love death. SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: They love death. @@swanamji7513
Swami-ji Lakshmanjoo was a jivanmukta 🙏 It is good to see a recording of someone with authority within the last 100 years speaking on such an important topic.
After 25 years of practice in Yoga and Tantra I have never found a system of thinking that describes my experiences in that depth of detail as the Kashmir Saivism as revealed by Swami Lakshmanjoo.
Kali Tantra yes, the same for me! 10 years of meditation first, then a transcendent experience, then a search for a year or more (plus side of the internet age) and I found it in Trika Shaivism. 🧡🕉🧡 Har Har Mahadev
@@ironhead108 sorry for asking, but could you elaborate on your "10 years of meditation first" bit? what was your meditation diet.. how many times did you meditate a day and for how long each time? i know these things can not be guessed, but i'd still like to have a rough idea how long it takes with how much one puts in... and i know its tied to past life karma etc.. but nevertheless.. it would be a bonus if you could also outline how your meditation progressed over the 10 years. how long did it take you to make progress, did the progress continue on in a linear fashion or did it take much longer initially, but then rapidly got better - as some teachers say?
tanko.spirit Of course. I began by learning as a part of my training in graduate school as a psychotherapist. Mindfulness meditation; zen style meditation. But with a certain emphasis on making regular contact with the observing self; awareness of awareness, as it were. I’d estimate that I meditation quite a lot for the first year. Probably five times a week, building up to about 30 minutes per day. This backed off for a few years to probably twice per week. However, I’ve also done a ton of meditation in therapy by teaching and practicing with my clients. That part is hard to estimate but it would definitely be each day, sometimes an aggregate of 60 minutes per day. Since my two transcendent experiences in 2018, I’ve been practicing about once per day for 20-30 minutes, which includes various techniques of mindfulness, mantra (as in TM), and observing self work. I also do a lot of work with clients each day, though that varies. Over the past few months I’ve begun to learn techniques from Kashmir Shaivism and integrate these into my practice, along with some elements of Bhakti.
Thank you for this wonderful video of Swami Lakshmanjoo. As I sit here I am looking at His book ~ Kashmir Shaivism ~ The Secret Supreme on my desk. I reference it often. What a blessing to have access to such profound Wisdom.
The joy of 'recognition', the return of the looker to the ground of reality, as the ground of reality is a type of sexualized reunion. Recognition is direct reunion. It is the direct experience of recognizing that the performer and the context of reality, Shiva, are One and the same/sama.
The very moment he mentioned the memory of earlier experience of that state I knew he knows that personally. When I had first time experienced nirvikalpa samadhi, my mind after emerging out of this samadhi recollected a clear and authentic memory, that it is something intimately familiar. Whether it be the pre-natal state or past life memories stored somewhere in alaya-vijnana, but the tantrika or yogi 'knows'. It is a very interesting aspect of experience. During the experience, there is no commentary of mind, nor self-awareness. The Light that has the capacity of illumination, yet, doesn't know itself, cause it has no mirror of self-awareness. the Self of advaita vedanta, is the very principle manifested in the self-awareness, 'I-amness', yet, without the mirror. It's not unconscious either. Sat-cit-ananda. the bliss that rises in absence of self-awareness when the pure Self is experienced. only after this ground-breaking even in my life I could relate to other teachings and traditions and understand the context. the ordinary, conditioned human mind can't possibly bring about an imagination of a state of consciousness, that has no self-awareness in its natural state.
What is the purpose of incarnation in a human body? It seems the path is so hard. Why does jt have to be so difficult? Why don't we have this all inbuilt into our minds and bodies, like birds or animals, that instinctively have these behaviours as genetic memory or something from the ether as a hive mind? Where do we come from? What are we doing here? Where will we go from here? Seeing as the world is getting worse with every passing year, why would a soul choose to reincarnate again and again, and that to in a human body with so many limitations? Its almost as if we are trapped in this realm by some higher powers that does not want us to realize our true self.
@@HamletsMill25920 so that we may ask this question about our natural state and remain in THAT... how can it be difficult to remain as what we are, always? not for a moment, the natural existence - consciousness or sat chit , leaves us...but we need to eradicate the avarna, the veil caused by thoughts. practice is meant for that only. we were, are, will be the existence - consciousness...we were this b4 birth, and this continues in all 3 states, and will be after leaving body too. jiva takes birth due to samskaaras, prarabdha karma. desires pull a jiva to come back. supreme has given its gift of existence, to all. its impartial. we have the choice, to remain with the bhagavan within us , or to go with thoughts... either way, its our freedom to choose. Aum Arunachala Shiva.
Très belle description de cet état exprimé par Swami Laksmanjoo. La descente de la grâce (Shaktipat) me fut transmise le 7 juin 1985 vers 21 h. Je vous confirme que dans cet état d'être tout, absolument tout ce que vous pouvez désirer, connaître et être etc. y est encodé. Je n'ai pas fini d'intégré... ceci sera réalisé pleinement après la transition...
Swamiji says the God realization bliss is million times dense and subtle than the sex. And moreover one can't take it beyond 3-4 sec. OMG I am getting goosebumps all over... Om Gurubyo namha!
That's a one sure way to commit a so called yogic suicide, if one knows how to do it. There is a known truth about people who get to experience this, either never come back, or come back in a very profoundly changed, fully ''enlightened'' body, like Ramakrishna, who stayed in it for three days. It depends on what purpose the yogis have in this world.
When he speaks of universal consciousness he's not talking about the universe in the modern sense of the word. He's speaking of the nature of awareness that all conscious beings experience in the same manner. It's a consistent experience of the essential nature of awareness that he is speaking of when he uses the term universal. I state this because the use of that term can be confusing for many minds.
If Just listening about this blissfull state could motivate one so much..... I wonder what would be it like when one actually experiences this supreme state. Real heart-touching sermon.
To Abindu Dhar... the non-dual State of mysticism is not so much something to be understood by the intellect but is something one Realizes .. in a flash of Divine Insite. It comes when one's inner DORMANT Divine Energy is fully Awakened. For this Awakening one needs a True Master, one who has the power to Awaken that dormant energy. It is very true that when the student is ready The Master appears. When one is finally moved to SEEK Truth Absolute, they WILL find it. It is a most profound inner journey .. back to that place we never truly left. SELF Realization / Enlightenment is the ultimate goal of all 'individual' souls. One should seek their True SELF at all cost... it is why we have taken a human birth... to KNOW The SELF. ~ Namaste ~
Swamiji is a treasure for sure. I will say it is a bit unusual to speak so often in terms of super-sexual bliss. Other Masters like Muktananda for example, would not emphasize or use this terminology - the word sexual specifically - even if it is to say that it is a bliss far more subtle and powerful than sexual orgasm. It’s a bit unusual for a sanyasi. But perhaps he felt the Western audience would relate more to that terminology.
On the contrary. Osho's book is based on the ancient Vijnana Bhairava and it's 112 meditations. You can find out more here... www.lakshmanjooacademy.org/112-meditations-course
Nor could you make it last or access it any moment at will. Have tried DMT, but its small compared to the states in deep meditation leading to true spiritual liberation. The ecstatic states experienced there are beyond description, and can be obtained without damaging your subtle structure.
I doubt that tbh, I would say you just haven't broke through. However I would agree that deep meditation is a better technique and something I would like to get in to, but being a citizen in the busy Western World I'm not sure I have the time to be able to learn such practices.
What is the purpose of incarnation in a human body? It seems the path is so hard. Why does jt have to be so difficult? Why don't we have this all inbuilt into our minds and bodies, like birds or animals, that instinctively have these behaviours as genetic memory or something from the ether as a hive mind?

Its almost as if we are trapped in this realm by some higher powers that does not want us to realize our true self.
It seems that way due to maya. That is seeing the life from the level of the limited self. Seeing from the highest Self, Lord Shiva, this life is a play of losing himself and then finding himself.
Those are very good questions. Not everyone asks those questions. It took us many good karmic deeds to reach this life and even be interested in evolving and realizing our true nature. The human life is precious and hard to get as it is the only one that enables realization. Thought Swamiji says even animals like elephant or cat can do it but it is very rare.
Swami Lakshmanjoo did meet both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Swamiji and Aurobindo exchanged letters for some time during the late 1940's. Swamiji also met with Sri Aurobindo during the last year of his earthly life (1950). Though Sri Aurobindo was in absolute seclusion during that year, it was the Mother who arranged for the two saints to meet privately. Swamiji once commented that Sri Aurobindo had a clear understanding of "Universal Mind".
It is understood in Kashmir Shaivism that as long as one remains in the physical body the experience of Universal God consciousness is not direct. The Sanskri term is Tathasta jnana, "like walking on the shore" of that great ocean of consciousness. But, for such a yogi who is established in that experience, upon leaving the physical body, they merge with that state of Universal God consciousness for good.
Maybe because God consciousness is not a object and thus is not directly experienced like literally every other object is. Objects are what we experience. In the realm of objects, thoughts come as well.
What is the purpose of incarnation in a human body? It seems the path is so hard. Why does jt have to be so difficult?

Sorry to correct you swami ji..let me tell you first hand and direct experience of how you are going to feel..there would be no joy when you experience God, mind it experience only, as it has no shape or size..the Prakash or energy that you will feel is like you are facing a nuclear explosion and as you said bliss would travel through your viens, rather that energy would charge you at cellular level and you would feel like a man made of sand and all that sand blowing in air with energy and final goal is that you would realize that you are Shiva only..The same energy would come out from middle of your scalp when you experience third eye opening. Both these experiences are for a minute or 2 maximum. I agree that no human can tolerate more than 2 minutes of that energy. Others if they have experienced God, please acknowledge and share your thoughts.. Rest all we hear and read about God are just stories for common man. The reality is when you realize that you yourself are Shiva and have Shiva inside you.
@@LakshmanjooAcademy When it comes to gut..Rajputs are famous for that but I am sorry if you took it otherwise. I am saying what is true, maybe anyone who have that direct experience can relate it well. Let others come forward if there are any.

Swami Lakshmanjoo hablando con Alice Christensen sobre el objetivo final del Shaivismo de Cachemira.
!Un raro destello de la experiencia de un santo!
LA META FINAL EN EL SHAIVISMO DE CACHEMIRA
En la filosofía shaiva, ¿se podría decir que la meta final es la unión? ¿Cuál es la meta final de la filosofía shaiva?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: La meta final de la filosofía shaiva es la unión de la persona con la conciencia universal.
ALICE: Y esa conciencia universal...
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Es Dios
ALICE: ¿Se encuentra disposición todo el tiempo, Swamiji? ¿Sólo tienes que buscarlo?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, la conciencia universal la encontrarás en todos y cada una de las personas, pero está en el fondo, está en un estado de escondido en este momento. Cuando practicas y meditas en algún punto explicado por tu maestro, entonces esta individualidad se desvanece en la universalidad. Y llega el momento en que la conciencia universal se eleva en el propio cuerpo. Y experimentas esa conciencia universal. Y ese es el estado experimentado de Dios. Pero experimentar esa conciencia universal no es una experiencia directa.[ es como caminar por la orilla de ese gran océano de la conciencia]
ALICE: ¿Cómo sabes cuando te estás acercando a ese estado, Swamiji? ¿Cuáles son las señales en el camino?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: La memoria viene a ti: "Oh, yo ya he estado en la conciencia universal, anteriormente, y no lo sabía" Esta es una señal de esa experiencia. Sientes, en el momento de la subida de esa conciencia universal, sientes allí una memoria.
ALICE: ¿Como si hubieras estado allí antes; como si lo hubieras sentido antes?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí
ALICE: Swamiji este estado de superconciencia que reconoces cuando te golpea y piensas, "Oh, he sentido esto antes", entonces ¿Qué pasa? ¿Cuáles son los signos para un hombre o una mujer en el Yoga? ¿Qué es lo que buscan, a dónde van desde allí?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No miran. Sienten esa conciencia, la conciencia de Dios, como fuentes de gozo excesivo.
ALICE: Felicidad
Felicidad. Es un gozo supersexual.
ALICE: Un gozo sexual.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No es gozo sexual individual. Es un gozo supersexual. Digamos que es un gozo millones de veces más denso que el gozo sexual.
ALICE: ¿Es continuo?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Contínuo por mucho tiempo y fluye en todas y cada una de las venas de tu cuerpo. Estás intoxicado con ese gozo.
ALICE: ¿Y lo sientes durante horas y horas o días?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Permanece sólo por tres o cuatro segundos, y el resto de tu vida estás intoxicado con ese gozo. De acuerdo con Abhinavagupta, si permaneces durante una hora, entonces este cuerpo dejaría de existir.
ALICE: Mueres
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí, no puedes tolerar esa intensidad de gozo en tu cuerpo limitado. Tienes que deshacerte de este cuerpo, destrozarlo, estar indiferenciado con lo divino.
ALICE: Gozo supersexual, es un tremendo estado de gozo. ¿Los yoguis tienen este sentimiento cuando mueren? ¿Es así la muerte para los yoguis?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Sí.
ALICE: Por eso no la temen, la aman...
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Aman la muerte.

ALICE: Happiness.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Happiness. It is super-sexual joy.
ALICE: A sexual happiness.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: It is not individual sexual joy. It is super-sexual joy. Say a hundred thousand million times more intense joy than that sexual joy.
ALICE: And it continues a long time.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: It continues a long time and it flows, flows in each and every vein of your body. You are intoxicated with that bliss but…
ALICE: And you just feel over hours and hours or days?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: No, it remains only for three or four seconds and for the rest of your life is . . .
ALICE: The rest of your life is affected by that.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: If it should remain, according to the theory of Abhinavagupta, remove you should remain for one hour then this body won’t exist.
ALICE: You die.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Finished, yes. You can not tolerate that intensity of joy in this limited body. You have to throw this, shatter this body. You become one with that divine.
ALICE: So this super sexual joy is just such a tremendous joyful state, do yogis go into this feeling when they die? Is this what death is for a yogi?
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: Yes.
ALICE: That’s why they don’t fear it.
SWAMI LAKSHMANJOO: (shakes his head) They love it. They love death.
ALICE: (laughing) they love death.

@@HamletsMill25920 so that we may ask this question about our natural state and remain in THAT...
how can it be difficult to remain as what we are, always?
not for a moment, the natural existence - consciousness or sat chit , leaves us...but we need to eradicate the avarna, the veil caused by thoughts.
practice is meant for that only.
we were, are, will be the existence - consciousness...we were this b4 birth, and this continues in all 3 states, and will be after leaving body too.
jiva takes birth due to samskaaras, prarabdha karma. desires pull a jiva to come back.
supreme has given its gift of existence, to all. its impartial.
we have the choice, to remain with the bhagavan within us , or to go with thoughts...
either way, its our freedom to choose.
Aum Arunachala Shiva.
Très belle description de cet état exprimé par Swami Laksmanjoo. La descente de la grâce (Shaktipat) me fut transmise le 7 juin 1985 vers 21 h. Je vous confirme que dans cet état d'être tout, absolument tout ce que vous pouvez désirer, connaître et être etc. y est encodé. Je n'ai pas fini d'intégré... ceci sera réalisé pleinement après la transition...
Swamiji says the God realization bliss is million times dense and subtle than the sex. And moreover one can't take it beyond 3-4 sec.
OMG I am getting goosebumps all over...
Om Gurubyo namha!
That's a one sure way to commit a so called yogic suicide, if one knows how to do it. There is a known truth about people who get to experience this, either never come back, or come back in a very profoundly changed, fully ''enlightened'' body, like Ramakrishna, who stayed in it for three days. It depends on what purpose the yogis have in this world.
@@DanielJackson2010 It's one Prarabdha only. Nothing an individual can do. He will leave body , if his Prarabdha is complete.
And today after 3 years I am watching it again . Jai Gurudev
@@ankushkaul6909Great, watch it again 😅...
Jai Gurudev ❤️ 🔱
When he speaks of universal consciousness he's not talking about the universe in the modern sense of the word. He's speaking of the nature of awareness that all conscious beings experience in the same manner. It's a consistent experience of the essential nature of awareness that he is speaking of when he uses the term universal. I state this because the use of that term can be confusing for many minds.
नमन 🙏🙏🙏
If Just listening about this blissfull state could motivate one so much..... I wonder what would be it like when one actually experiences this supreme state.
Real heart-touching sermon.
To Abindu Dhar... the non-dual State of mysticism is not so much something to be understood by the intellect but is something one Realizes .. in a flash of Divine Insite. It comes when one's inner DORMANT Divine Energy is fully Awakened. For this Awakening one needs a True Master, one who has the power to Awaken that dormant energy.
It is very true that when the student is ready The Master appears. When one is finally moved to SEEK Truth Absolute, they WILL find it.
It is a most profound inner journey .. back to that place we never truly left.
SELF Realization / Enlightenment is the ultimate goal of all 'individual' souls. One should seek their True SELF at all cost... it is why we have taken a human birth... to KNOW The SELF. ~ Namaste ~
thank you Swamiji
Don't chase a form of experience. Experience that which Is through effortlessly being.
True... Deepest gratitude to sri laxmanjoo.
Om Namah Shivaya
Who am I?
I am the embodiment of bliss
Shivoham Shivoham
:) Indeed, that's what it is and that's how you feel.
1000% Joy.
The 1000th like. 👌
In One. 🌅
Swamiji is a treasure for sure. I will say it is a bit unusual to speak so often in terms of super-sexual bliss. Other Masters like Muktananda for example, would not emphasize or use this terminology - the word sexual specifically - even if it is to say that it is a bliss far more subtle and powerful than sexual orgasm. It’s a bit unusual for a sanyasi. But perhaps he felt the Western audience would relate more to that terminology.
Most certainly, animalistic terminology can be useful for a lesser and non-spiritual age to get the point across.

Is this based on osho book of secrets 112 meditations
On the contrary. Osho's book is based on the ancient Vijnana Bhairava and it's 112 meditations. You can find out more here... www.lakshmanjooacademy.org/112-meditations-course
I had the exact same experience he speaks of on DMT but I did not experience it in such a pleasant way.
Nor could you make it last or access it any moment at will. Have tried DMT, but its small compared to the states in deep meditation leading to true spiritual liberation. The ecstatic states experienced there are beyond description, and can be obtained without damaging your subtle structure.
I doubt that tbh, I would say you just haven't broke through. However I would agree that deep meditation is a better technique and something I would like to get in to, but being a citizen in the busy Western World I'm not sure I have the time to be able to learn such practices.

Beautiful! Jaya Swamiji
What is the purpose of incarnation in a human body? It seems the path is so hard. Why does jt have to be so difficult?
Why don't we have this all inbuilt into our minds and bodies, like birds or animals, that instinctively have these behaviours as genetic memory or something from the ether as a hive mind?
Where do we come from? What are we doing here? Where will we go from here?
Seeing as the world is getting worse with every passing year, why would a soul choose to reincarnate again and again, and that to in a human body with so many limitations? Its almost as if we are trapped in this realm by some higher powers that does not want us to realize our true self.
It seems that way due to maya. That is seeing the life from the level of the limited self. Seeing from the highest Self, Lord Shiva, this life is a play of losing himself and then finding himself.
Those are very good questions. Not everyone asks those questions. It took us many good karmic deeds to reach this life and even be interested in evolving and realizing our true nature. The human life is precious and hard to get as it is the only one that enables realization. Thought Swamiji says even animals like elephant or cat can do it but it is very rare.
Did Swami Lakshmanjoo ever meet with The Mother of Sri Aurobindo Ashram ?
If yes then when ?
Dont know about that but he did meet raman maharshi and stayed with him for a while
Swami Lakshmanjoo did meet both Sri Aurobindo and the Mother. Swamiji and Aurobindo exchanged letters for some time during the late 1940's. Swamiji also met with Sri Aurobindo during the last year of his earthly life (1950). Though Sri Aurobindo was in absolute seclusion during that year, it was the Mother who arranged for the two saints to meet privately.
Swamiji once commented that Sri Aurobindo had a clear understanding of "Universal Mind".
@@georgebarselaar2041 Thanks . But is there any archaival proof from Sri Aurobindo Ashram ?
I know what he means.
Is there any text available of Swami ji
Yes, you can find the transcript here www.lakshmanjooacademy.org/final-goal-in-kashmir-shaivism/
At about 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds he said you experience God Consciousness but it's not a direct experience what does he mean?
It is understood in Kashmir Shaivism that as long as one remains in the physical body the experience of Universal God consciousness is not direct. The Sanskri term is Tathasta jnana, "like walking on the shore" of that great ocean of consciousness. But, for such a yogi who is established in that experience, upon leaving the physical body, they merge with that state of Universal God consciousness for good.
Maybe because God consciousness is not a object and thus is not directly experienced like literally every other object is. Objects are what we experience. In the realm of objects, thoughts come as well.

very true to some extent
Is bande ke chehre ko dekho..aur apni shakal bhi dekho... Ye kahan aur tum ham kahan....kyu aise insaan nahi sab...is mahatma jaise
How does Brahman or Shiva or universal consciousness become deluded ?
Jay!
Jai!

No direct experience... That's a fair warning...
Sorry to correct you swami ji..let me tell you first hand and direct experience of how you are going to feel..there would be no joy when you experience God, mind it experience only, as it has no shape or size..the Prakash or energy that you will feel is like you are facing a nuclear explosion and as you said bliss would travel through your viens, rather that energy would charge you at cellular level and you would feel like a man made of sand and all that sand blowing in air with energy and final goal is that you would realize that you are Shiva only..The same energy would come out from middle of your scalp when you experience third eye opening. Both these experiences are for a minute or 2 maximum. I agree that no human can tolerate more than 2 minutes of that energy. Others if they have experienced God, please acknowledge and share your thoughts.. Rest all we hear and read about God are just stories for common man. The reality is when you realize that you yourself are Shiva and have Shiva inside you.
That takes a lot of guts to refute a well known authority experienced in Kashmir Shaivism and tell them how it works. Wow!
@@LakshmanjooAcademy When it comes to gut..Rajputs are famous for that but I am sorry if you took it otherwise. I am saying what is true, maybe anyone who have that direct experience can relate it well. Let others come forward if there are any.
@@rajeevrawat304 So what was resulting of your experience as far as any affect on your current life?
@@suryadas6987 Hard to say what has changed except some deep understanding of life mysteries and obviously some divine powers.
@@rajeevrawat304 Excellent, sir. Attaining siddhis is always a plus. Only I was curious about these. Thanks for reply. I am aghori shishya in Trichy. Where you're at ji?
