Good advice indeed. I hope you are becoming well.
People who are (to be kind) stupid enough to activate and stimulate
kundalini without preparation - well the dangers are pointed out in the
classics again and again.
Preparation is everything. By developing calm and equanamity. By
practicing and creating beneficial mind states we ease ourselves into a
form of being that makes *EVERYTHING* easier. That is the purpose of
spiritual practice.

I wish you well . . . and stay away from the silly people.

Subject: sanskrit chacram mantras
Message-ID: <19980502.044227.11982.0.trexisATnospamjuno.com>

this is a copy of the sanscrit pronunciation guide in my copy of the
bhagavad gita
published by nicolas hayes:

"The ancient Indian grammarians of the Sanskrit language have identified
fourty-eight
sounds as worthyof notation, and in the script that was developed over
the centuries each character represents that one sound unalterably.
Hence there can be no confusion about howa particular word was prononced,
though different schools of Veda transmission show slight variations in
the articulation: yet compared with the haphazard correspondence of Roman
notation and English pronunciation, Sanskrit notation is extremely
precise."

"The sequence of the alphabet again was completely scientific. The order
of letters is not the historical jumble of the Roman alphabet, which
imitated the sequence of Semitic scripts, but simply the path of the
breath through the hollow of the mouth from the throat to the lips,
producing the vowels: through the nose, producing tehse vowels with
nasalization: and the same breath with occlusion of the tongue to points
in the hollow of the mouth from the throat to the lips, producing the
consonants."

Whew. Understanding that focusing the breath, and prana through the body
would
also affect the flow of kundalini in and through a chakra not to mention
the physical
vibrations, sanskrit mantrams quite certainly have powerful esoteric
effects on the
gross and subtle bodies. Remember :As above, so below. As below, So
above.

Would someone please give me a better explaination of a bija?

I found some more information concerning other nadis as well as some
esoteric
information on chakras. (published by lewellyn) If anyone wants me to
post it, give me
an email.

No, I think you're right. Most of what I have encountered here, talked
about in terms of "bad K stuff" could be avoided by simple instructions on
what to do. Others just panick because they don't know whether something is
actually good for them or are they just going nuts. The experience itself
is not nearly as important as the individual's approach to it. For
instance, if someone knows nothing about visuddha chakra, and the vajra
energy it channels, and suddenly starts feeling a blue star in the troath,
and deepest blue consciousness in all the things around him/her, and has
visions through the throat, what would that person think? Especially if
he/she bumps into some idiot talking about the temporal lobe epilepsy? I
even saw this shit on this list, people who post such nonsense should
inform themselves better and simply shut the fuck up rather than post the
disturbing and irrelevant rubbish that might cause some people unnecessary
emotional pain and/or lack of self trust and self esteem. This kind of
people is probably the main reason behind K-folks having so much problems.
They attempt to repress something good as bad and they are in for some
serious shit then.
I think that's what this list is supposed to do: tell the people that
someone's been through the same thing, tell them what helps in their
condition and what should be avoided - from the experience of those who
walked the path themselves.
Some things that take people decades to solve can be solved in months. You
just need to know what to do. K would probably solve things out as it is,
but if you are conscious of the process, you can assist it.

Thanks for your post. I am aware of and use bija (seed) mantras but was not
aware that they are the chakra 'petals'. If you and Lahiri Mahasaya are both
correct, these seed mantras will also therefore be letters of the Sanskrit
alphabet, which is also something new to me. The plot
thickens..........................

Your warning about too much power "creating fire instead of light" is very
apt. I also like the imagery and I shall incorporate it into my own teaching
at appropriate moments. Thank you!

Dear Harsha,

In a message dated 1/5/98 5:17:51 pm, you wrote:

Harsha: One can argue that "professional" gurus perpetuate this notion to
enhance their own importance. Fear is often used to control students by the
pseudo gurus in virtually every cult or religion. Nevertheless, it is
generally accepted that mantras should be received from someone in a
particular lineage or tradition, who has a certain level of spiritual
attainment. The linkage with a tradition is helpful and provides a view of
Reality that enables one to interpret spiritual experiences. It helps to
ground the spiritual aspirant until the grounding it self becomes meaningless.

Alan: I think there is another important aspect to consider here. When a
'guru' of the right spiritual attainment initiates a disciple with a mantra,
he/she is literally sowing a seed of power in that disciple's consciousness by
transferring latent shakti. The disciple's subsequent sadhana causes that seed
to grow until eventually the mantra comes to fruition and the disciple in turn
becomes a guru who can then pass it on to his own disciple. I think the term
bija/seed mantra is a lot more literal than people realise!

Although a mantra still has its inherent power regardless of how it is
communicated to you, 'mantra diksha' by a Self-realised master causes a
greater infusion of spiritual power with consequent benefit to the recipient.
I also believe this is the means to connect the disciple to the master's
lineage - a form of apostolic succession.

Alan

Harsha: Yes. Well said. Every Shakti tradition has a few "Pivotal" or
"Supreme" Shakti mantras. These are usually not written down but transmitted
only orally. These mantras affect the flow of breath and prana and facilitate
the rising of the Shakti to higher centers and the Sahasharara. They can give
rise to the Divine Form of Shakti as the Supreme Goddess. However, keep in
mind that Self-Realization is not dependent on following any particular
tradition or practicing any technique no matter how special or sacred. For
example, Sage Valmiki was a thug and a dacoit. When he wished to transform his
life he became initiated and received the mantra RAMA. In his meditation, he
forgot the mantra and kept repeating it incorrectly as MARA, MARA, etc. He
still Realized and is the author of Ramayana, an Indian classic. Ultimately,
the longing for the Self, or the Divine, or God, or call it what you want, is
the main thing. It purifies the mind. It overcomes everything. No deficiencies
or obstacles can prevent a genuine devotee from Realizing the Goal. Giving up
all works to the Supreme Being and surrendering to the Divine Will, nothing
else needs to be done.

I love this story, thank you! It reminds me of another wonderful story
about a boy going to a synagogue to find God but the only Hebrew he
knows is the alphabet so he just chants that, over and over. Of course
his heart connects him to the Divine immediately, much to the amazement
of the surrounding Talmudic Scholars! Holly

Dear Sharon:

 Yes a kundalini experience can happen without a turban, but wearing a turban
focuses alot of the energy into the head area. In fact I was told that when I
was in 3HO to take off my turban and let my hair down to calm down that energy
before I went to bed. I would also like to add that there is nothing wrong
with where a turban and eating lots of garlic and chili if you are willling to
balance that energy in other ways. It's just that in seeking that balance you
must expend some energy. After all Shiva once drank a river of poison and
lived. As for myself I must humbly admit that I am not capable of such things.
I like my hair down and I like to keep my diet somewhat neutral.

     Best wishes,

Good point. Life is neverending. A near dead experience regards ego.
Life trascends ego. A near dead experience is good though. Ego has to
be told it will go. And felt in person is the best way. Experience is
way stronger than theory or dogma.
When you experience ego-body death you get in contact with the real
life.
Now, with K one trascends ego-body aswell sometimes.

Finally everything converges to one truth.

It is important, though, to know and accept (and enjoy!) we have a
body for 100 years or so.

I don't see what you mean? Absolute statements are completely irrelevant
for solving problems in the relative. People need practical advice, not
crap. If someone's temperature is rising due tu K-overload at mulaadhara
cakra, that person doesn't need someone to tell him/her that all is one,
but how to handle that problem and FAST. How do you help? You give
instructions for the energy release technique and the temperature will
stabilize in seconds. That's how you help.

Bullshit.
Tell me this: if you are trying to cross the street blindfolded, and if you
are trying to do it with your eyes wide open, observing things so you can
avoid cars, stop and go, depending on the conditions, tell me, what are the
chances for you to get there in one piece, in the first and in the second
case? Come on! I know what I'm talking about. My students are handling in
weeks what I was struggling through for months and years. Knowledge and
guidance are everything. I see people here who are spontaneously performing
the up-stream kriya. Mostly, they don't even know what it is. Therefore,
they are cautious. They question themselves all the time, wondering if
they're going nuts or what. When they find out it is actually a good thing,
they can do it willingly and accelerate their growth enormously. That's
what I'm talking about here. The mind works all the time. It is better when
it works as your ally then as your enemy.

I'm glad to have found this list because I feel very lonely about the experiences I've had for approximately the last 20 years. In 1973 I began doing transcendental meditation; in around 1977, I started experiencing an expanding contracting in my head. This was usually right before I would go to sleep. At times it was so powerful that I thought my head would explode. Then between 1980 and 1982, I started having spontaneous movement from my lower spine up to the solar-plexus area where I felt this strange kind of movement. From there the energy would progress up to my heart area where it would be experienced by me as some kind of circular pressure around the heart area. Also during this particular time I would feel these tremendous energy surges go through my body as though I was electrical or atomic. Many times I would just lie on my bed vibrating. At this time I no longer have the feeling that "my chakras are being cleansed" but almost every night before falling asleep I expe!

rience these huge energy surges before falling asleep. Sometimes they are so powerful that I have to tell the "forces that be" to stop because I can't handle that kind of power surge. When I get to that point, they do stop. Often, I have the energy shoot through my head and sometimes I hear a crackling or what feels like a rearranging in my skull. I've felt so isolated and misunderstood in this kind of experience because noone I know can relate to what I'm talking about. A book that really gave me clarity about what I've been going through is called "The I that is We" by Richard Moss. Has anyone out there had anything like what I've been experiencing? What's it about and what is it doing? I really don't see too much enlightened or special about me. Thanks for giving me this opportunity to talk about this. Blessings, Gwen

Almost makes you wonder if we need a "kundalini 911" list...

Harsha: You are right. Good guidance always helps. The company of Sages,
dwelling on their teaching and being with loving people is the best protection
from fear. See to what type of teaching or teacher you are attracted to and
what makes sense to you. Make the link if you are comfortable with a
particular teaching or tradition. A genuine spiritual personality has a
peaceful disposition and communicates that peace directly.
