<< Dear Harsha,
 
 I hate to take up your time, but seeing as you have
 had a lot of experience with ppl awakening,
 do you have views
 on K and awakening in relation with past lives ?
 
 More specifically whether K may be present in several
 consecutive life times or has to be awokened in each
 life ?
 
 Also, whether there can be a sort of adjustment process
 going on over several life times ?
 
 Have you come across anything on this in experience
 or in reports from others ?
 
 Best regards,

Hi Amanda. I will forward your post and my response. Perhaps others can also
give you different insights. I remembered one of my past lives as a yogi when
I was around 12 very clearly, sitting on the top of roof in the veranda in my
grandfather's house in India. It came with such clarity and seeing what I had
to do led me to formulate my first principle of teaching which came in a
sequence of thoughts which repeated themselves in my mind with such force
again and again that I can never forget them. They were, "The students should
know that if one has to ever choose between a teacher and Truth, one should
always choose the Truth and if one ever has to choose between me (Harsha) and
the Truth, one should always choose the Truth." At that time, I had been
practicing meditation for some years but my Kundalini was not awake in the
classical sense. Later when my Kundalini awoke in the classical sense I
started to have other types of superconscious experiences. Some years later,
when I was in my early 20s I had a vivid dream/vision of Ramana Maharshi, in
which I had a different face. Ramana Maharshi walked over to me and squinted
his eyes and was looking at me and a stream of thoughts started to be
conveyed from him. He was saying "Do I know you.....do I know you.........I
don't know ..........I don't know if I know you....". Then he stepped forward
and touched me on the head as if saying, "Now I know you." Suddenly rockets
burst in my whole body and I was in a different state. I did not feel scared
as I was used to such experiences happening. When I opened my eyes, I felt
the dream had made me aware of a close connection with Ramana Maharshi. In
fact, every since then, the great sage and his teachings completely dominate
my consciousness. About a year later, through the grace of Ramana, letting
everything go, I experienced Nirvikalpa Samadhi and Recognized clearly the
nature of the Self. After that I lost interest in things like past lives,
supernatural powers, etc., as my mind does not go in those directions. I feel
content with what I know and what I don't know. My experience is that past
lives can be known with meditations both without obvious manifestations of
Kundalini and with special meditations involving the Kundalini shakti and
different centers. I do not know if that is the best use of one's energy. If
experiences of past lives come spontaneously, that is fine. If one seeks
them, one cannot be sure if it is imagination. In the end, it is all
imagination.
