🧵A #MustRead : #Jagadguru #Shankaracharya #SriSri #Chandrashekara Bharathi Mahaswamigal on the "Conquest of Desire":

To call a man healthy, it is quite unnecessary to postulate of him that he had some disease..

How do you move your kundalini energy out of your head?

People who feel that kundalini energy is “stuck” in their head usually say that it’s the sort that rises from the base of the spine and stops in one of three specific places:
#yoga #Kundalini #spirituality Image
at the base of the skull, at the prominence of the occipital bone, and at the crown of the head about two inches above the fontanel.

Myth: Kundalini awakening is about power.

*Adding my insights, bringing another vision. Not the kind of stuff you will ever find on google.
#yoga #Kundalini #Chakra
Kundalini awakening is not about acquisition of powers, it’s actually about cessation of being. Kundalini will lead you to enlightenment, which is nothing but death, the final death and getting into eternal bliss.
#yoga #Kundalini #Chakra
You have a soul, the soul acts on kundalini and chakras, the chakra system acts on nervous system and nervous system acts on bones and muscles.

Astral body is connected with physical body with Silver-Cord, this cord is invisible but very powerful, it is flexible and magical because of this silver cord you receive the signals and information about your physical body.
#yoga #Kundalini #Chakra
1. E.g. Digestion or urination process occurs & when your physical body needs to go to washroom while you are in astral plane, your subconscious mind sends you signals through silver cord “Return Urgently” & you start seeing images of washrooms or clocks in your vision.
#yoga
2. E.g. - If someone tries to wake you up or insect bites you then again your subconscious mind sends you signals and you hear voices like “wake up” or seeing insects.

How can yoga be a system of spiritual development?

Body & mind are inextricably linked so before you can tackle any work with the mind & consciousness you need to start on the body.

A healthy body produces a healthy mind. Health of body is established on 3 pillars:
#yoga
Exercise: Includes cardio-vascular like walking, cycling, jogging, tennis, squash as well as retaining full range of motion and flexibility as well as improving strength through āsana

#yoga
Diet - eat a sattvik diet and eat less - once a day is ideal or one small meal and one big meal. Eat at regular times and never after 3pm.

Sleep. – ensure you get the required amount of rest and sleep to ensure your ability to attend to your acts of daily living.

Is it possible to get into a meditative state while doing yoga, without actually practicing meditation beforehand?
#yoga Image
Yoga is another Sanskrit word the meaning of which has been battered beyond recognition by the spiritual supermarket. It follows the trail of tantra, kundalini, chakra, and such.
#yoga Image
The Sages who propounded these seem to have gone into the skies on long holidays.

Yoga means Union. Uniting with your Self, or rather realizing the unity, or rather realizing that there is nothing but one pure consciousness.

You must have read some books or have heard from many #yogis about #Chakras. But, do you know what chakras are? How do they work? In the #Sanskrit language, chakra means wheel. Here, the #spiritual meaning of chakra is “a wheel of flowing energy” in the body.
Out of the 114 Chakras, two of them are outside the physical body. In reality, we can only work on 108 chakras from the remaining 112 Chakras. However, we only need 21 chakras to be active in our body to live a full-fledged life. Due to the three dimensions of #energy, Pingala,
Ida and Sushumna, these 21 Chakras form 7 sets, each of them with three functioning Chakras that work as one. Therefore, you will be complete if your 21 chakras are functioning physically, psychologically, and #emotionally. Besides, the rest of the chakras need to be activated

When the mind is fixed at Kutastha, a strong current of prana rises through the chakras in the spine producing at the ajna chakra a wondrous sound called nada.
#Kundalini
#yoga Image
It is called the conch shell of Sri Krishna because it is heard at the ajna chakra seat of Kutastha or krishna(or Christ) consciousness. With this sound a light appears at the ajna chakra~ Sri Sri Pranahamsa Yoganandaji Maharaj
#Kundalini
#yoga Image
The light or sound or vibrations that are seen, felt or heard within are the three divine qualites of Consciousness

It is believed that concentration on the ajna chakra brings all other chakras under its command.

Difference between kundalini & chakras.. Chakras are energy centers; without kundalini chakras can get activated as a person will experience the chakra rotations.

Without chakras kundalini may rise. Some people raised serpent inside but they went in to depression.

#Bhagawadgita chintana🧵
Margasira sukla Ekadasi is revered as Geeta Jayanthi, the day Lord #SriKrishna counselled Arjuna with his famous preaching #Bhagawadgita. But it was not first time Supreme God preaching the philosophy and Arjuna was not the first person to be imparted with the divine knowledge.+
In 4th Canto #JnaAnaYoga (sloka #1) Sri Krishna says,
" I taught this imperishable Yoga (Bhagawadgita)
to #Vivaswan (Sun God-Surya);
He (#Surya) in turn taught it to #Manu (#Vaivaswatha) who in turn taught it to #Ikshvaaku (in whose dynasty Lord Sri #Ramachandra was born)". +

One thought that pervades modern society is: Everyday life and Spirituality are two separate compartments. They are like two parallel tracks that don't have a meeting point.
#Spirituality
#meditation Image
There is huge stress on health & fitness, new fads & trends emerge everyday, Yoga stays as the most popular. Most people don't know that Yoga is essentially a Spiritual System, thus don't approach it from that point of view.
#Spirituality

#yoga Image
That's how warped ideas like Kundalini Awakening through public camps etc emerge and take root. If you tell people that Kundalini Awakening implies a long struggle, they dismiss you as an ignorant fool.

Can Shaktipat be given from a distance by enlightened human beings?

Not at all.
#Kundalini
#yoga
Shaktipat can't be delivered long distance; also it happens in total surrender. Shaktipat requires ego-less medium (Enlightened Master/ Guru) hence if somebody says he can deliver Shaktipat, be wary of him.
#Kundalini
#yoga
An ego-less medium alone can't claim to deliver Shaktipat. Shatipat happens in the great communion between Divine-Master-Disciple.
