Subject: [K-list] Kundalini vs. kundalini question
From: Karolina Lindqvist

I just followed a link from here to the book "Kundalini Yoga", and is kind of
marvled by the sheer complicatedness of that process. And that brings me to
the question.

According to hindu sources, all paths of self relisation is according to a
very long and troublesome process, that starts with purifications of various
kinds, correction of character faults like lust, anger and greed, including
quite heavy austerities and so on. After a lengty process of this, self
realisation maybe is acquired.

On the other hand, in the western "new age" arena, arising kundalini and
coming to self-realisation appears as a simple process in comparison. By
shaktipat someone else can raise kundalini for you, and then by some
comparatively easy meditation/visualisation process some kind of cosmic
consciousness is reached. There is no long process of heavy austerity, or
correction of character faults and so on.

This difference troubles me. How can the same thing be so hard, and so easy?
Is it really the same thing that is attained?
