The experience of one particular person, Mathru Sri Sarada, is described in almost physiological detail. ******************************************* Yes, Rob. I have not read the book but am familiar with Amrita Nadi through personal experience. Amrita Nadi connects the Yogis and Jnanis. It is through Amrita Nadi that the Yogi becomes a Jnani. This is why it is often said that the "Spiritual Heart" is beyond Sahasarara. The Kundalini Shakti after reaching Sahasarara, can with grace enter the Amrita Nadi and descend into the frontal "Spiritual Heart" which attracts like a Huge Magnet, the ultimate black hole, and sucks in the mind, the Shakti, and the whole universe. Self Alone Shines As Being, Whole, Utterly Complete, Clear, Seeing It Self, By It Self, Through It Self, Independent in all ways, beyond concepts, thoughts, images, with no longing for anything whatsoever. It Is the Ultimate Beauty Aware of It Self as Self-Existence, Self-Knowledge, Self-Bliss. These are not attributes but the very nature of the Self. One Monolithic Whole. The ancients called it Sat-Chit-Ananda, Nityam, Poornum. Those Who Know It, have nothing left to be known. Love to all Harsha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 30, 2001 Report Share Posted August 30, 2001 Dear Harsha and Rob, For the physical aspects of "amrita nadi" see my posts to Dharma.

Paths, places, sights, perceptions, and indeed all experiences arise from and exist in and subside back into the Space of Awareness. Like waves rising are not different than the ocean, all things arising from Awareness are of the nature of Awareness. Awareness does not come and go but is always Present. It is Home. Home is where the Heart Is. Jnanis know the Heart to be the Finality of Eternal Being. A true devotee relishes in the Truth of Self-Knowledge, spontaneously arising from within into It Self.

Guest guest Posted August 31, 2001 Report Share Posted August 31, 2001 Hi Harsha, I'm seeing the word _amrita_ used in two ways here, 1) the Amrita Nadi: >Yes, Rob. I have not read the book but am familiar with Amrita Nadi through >personal experience. Amrita Nadi connects the Yogis and Jnanis. It is >through Amrita Nadi that the Yogi becomes a Jnani. This is why it is often >said that the "Spiritual Heart" is beyond Sahasarara. The Kundalini Shakti >after reaching Sahasarara, can with grace enter the Amrita Nadi and descend >into the frontal "Spiritual Heart" which attracts like a Huge Magnet, the >ultimate black hole, and sucks in the mind, the Shakti, and the whole >universe. Self Alone Shines As Being, Whole, Utterly Complete, Clear, Seeing >snip< and 2) the nectar or elixir that "trickles down from the sahasrara," according to Muktananda. He says it is sweet and like milk, he calls it nectar of the moon. He relates its production to movements of the tongue, especially khechari mudra. And he has a great deal to say about its many wondrous properties. Wim says it is the cerebro-spinal fluid and comes from the ventricles: >Wim: >I had an extraordinary increase in >the amount of cerebro-spinal fluid. Eventually I could not disperse the >nectar / ambrosia fast enough, there was too much of it to come down >sufficiently from the ventricles into my throat, my meninges swelled up and >eventually a severe headache resulted as well an extreme tiredness >throughout my body. >snip< > >May the elixir of divinity flow freely throughout all of us. >Soma, nectar, ambrosia, amrita, elixir of the gods, it's all the same >stuff..., when mortality concerns are overcome, one lives in and off amrita. Would you comment on these uses of the word, Harsha? THanks! Love, Dharma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
