This is difficult to come out of as with the rise of Kundalini, prana is withdrawn from all over the body and becomes focused and concentrated in the Brain center with intensity. The ecstasy is such that the desire to bring it down diminishes rapidly, the longer one stays in it. Ramakrishna, I believe refers to that quality of this Samadhi. The Nirvikalpa Sri Ramana refers to is Shakti going beyond the Sahasarara and merging in the Spiritual Heart. All experiences cease and the Self Sees It Self by It Self and through It Self. This Self-Knowing is referred to as Sat-Chit-Ananda. Ultimately, one has to be natural and to be oneself. Indifferent to all experiences, if one remains as awareness, all Samadhis are included in that. 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Love to all 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy">Harsha 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy"> font-family:"Courier New""> /join "Love itself is the actual form of God."
