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. #kundalini #yoga
Before Shaktipat, there is formal initiation to the sannyas then after years of association, the master chooses the disciple for spiritual initiation and when the disciple is in the total surrender (ego-less state)... #Kundalini #yoga
then at the fixed time the third eye is touched by the master and the divine kundalini is passed through the Sushumna nadi and thereafter most of the blockages in the chakras are cleared and sometimes after many days or weeks grace can happen. #Kundalini #yoga
It is misunderstood by people that Shaktipat can happen just by finding the right Guru. #Kundalini #yoga
It takes years before the disciple is initiated by Shaktipat. Shaktipat requires total surrender, which happens after years of association with the right master.
It’s nowhere mentioned in the Vedas, Upanishads or the Bhagwat Gita that a woman should not be allowed to enter the altar during her menstruation... #SanatanaDharma #Spirituality
nor the fanatical story of the Bhagwad Purana has been mentioned anywhere in the Vedas (Rig Veda, Samaveda, Yajurveda and Atharva Veda) which are considered as the most authentic scriptures of Hinduism. #SanatanaDharma #Spirituality of
It's a trend of late that people claim to be awakened after being initiated by a guru. This raises a few questions in my mind, first being - do they consider Spirituality & Everyday life as two parallel tracks & never the twain shall meet? #Spirituality
Moreover, has anyone emerged enlightened? Has he/she rewritten even a single page of vedas? Recognized one interpolation, given a fresh, different perspective? #Spirituality
There are some who do it selflessly, don't hanker for credit. But what of ones whose ego is bigger than knowledge, argue without clarity while being led by their own perceptions of it all?Not truly concerned with what true knowledge ought to be such that it benefits all of us.
Tara is the presiding Goddess of Speech and the Shakti of Hiranya Garba Saura Brahma. As the Sun incarnate, she is the successful owner of Surya Pralaya. The Tara-sadhak becomes well accomplished in all the branches of literature. #SanatanaDharma #Spirituality
Traditionally it is held that Vyasa Muni could work on and complete the eighteen Mahapuranas due to the grace of Goddess Tara. #SanatanaDharma #Spirituality
Aspirants of Tara cult realize the Purushartha goals of dharma, artha, kama and moksha. Tara is always away from Maya or the Prapancha within it because it is Her own creation. She provides bhoga or bliss initially and then moksha or salvation. #SanatanaDharma #Spirituality
As the old saying goes, we live in interesting times.
There's a set of people who don't stop ranting about the greatness of our ancient wisdom. Scratch the surface and two things emerge. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
One, they have little or superficial knowledge of this ancient wisdom. Two, they will only talk, do nothing to explore it, or try and figure out what's correct & true and what is falsehood or propaganda. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
Then there's a large group that couldn't care less. You speak to them about our heritage and you get a blank look. And very often a dismissive shrug as if they are saying - who cares. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
Tripura Bhairivi, 6th of great cosmic wisdoms amongst Dus Mahavidyas.
Tripura comprises of two words ‘Tri’ means three & Pura (Pur) means a city or town. Three signifies the three stages of consciousness - Jagrit (active), swapna (dream), sushupti (deep sleep). #Spirituality
Legend has it that Mayasura created a city called Tripura (3 puras) i.e 3 cities. The 3 cities which comprised Tripura were:
The lowest with walls of Iron located on Earth denotes the conscious state - activeness #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
The second, with walls of silver, located in sky denotes the conscious state - deep sleep
The third, with wall of gold, located in heaven denotes the conscious state - dream. #Spirituality #SanatanaDharma
Brahmacharya is a thing, not a person. (Let's not confuse it with brahmacārī). It's a Vedic idea, so let's define it from a Vedic viewpoint. #vedicwayoflife
And Vedic Brahmacarya is not primarily about celibacy, but about learning and proceeding by the path of brahman - by seeking the knowledge behind mantras, by following a discipline that shows your commitment, respect and focus. #vedicwayoflife
Celibacy is only a background for greater focus, is recommended by sutras for this reason. Brahmacarya itself isn't celibacy & the house-dwellers who cohabit only for procreation are also fit for brahmacarya; they can continue to learn Vedas even post marriage. #vedicwayoflife
