Sai Ram Brothers and Sisters,
With regard to raising K, both Sai Baba and Satyananda
have said that one should work on the Ajna chakra
first. Because of all the karmic propensities
involved with the two lower chakras. This could
result in dangerous experiences, mental imbalance,
delusional states, illness etc (have you read the
K-list recently).
It is amazing how rumours and misunderstanding spread,
especially in India. Where if two villagers think
something, the next day a hundred do!
In a group interview, one family brought a young
man/boy who was having some problems. Right in front
of all the witnesses Swami rubbed and stimulated the
boy's cocyics or base of the spine. The seat of the
Muladhara and the Svadhistana chakra. This energising
it seems cured the boy of whatever his problem was.
Now if one didn't have faith in the Guru or didn't
know anything about Tantra and Kundalini, one would
think the boy was being molested. Especially if this
was done without many witnesses. Enough said !
With regard to meat and alcohol etc. I am aware of
the fact that there are many small beings killed when
we breath even. I have read the Jains also.
However as with everything in human endeavour motive,
is important. Trying to hurt 'less' and also break
addictions/attachments, like meat-eating and alcohol
are steps in Sadhana. I am aware that plants have
senses in fact a book ' The secret life of plants',
indicates this. However they don't have the developed
nervous system of animals. Also one could read Tagore
on this.
Satyananda indicates that the Svadhistana chakra is
associated with vegetarianism. The female Deity is
Saraswati and Rakini. This is an important chakra for
the tendency here is to descend to the root again.
Once the energy reaches the Manipura the tendency is
not so much to descend, but ascend. So purification
exercises, to help rise from the lower chakras is
important.
They say that some Yogis eat meat, well if they are
Jivanmuktis, they eat what is put in front and there
is no karma to overcome. For they have remembered
themSelves. Only a handful of people are receiving
Moksha, the rest of us are at different levels, most
in the Manomayakosa and not in the Higher Chakras.
Love and Sai Ram, Tony.
