How to restore faith and keep it up always

[Guest guest]

Dear Lars,

 

If I was you, I wouldn't worry about anything. I feel there is no need to look

outside, whether another priest, another person. Your feelings and experiences

are unique to yourself and hence very true and real. Just pure devotion and

commitment to whatever your practice may be, should suffice.

 

Again and again I recommend to all 'Sri Ramakrishna - A Prophet for the New Age'

by Richard Schiffman. Also reading the Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna by M.

 

For those who understand and can read Sanskrit pls read 'Umasahasram' by

Ganapati Muni or Nayana as he was fondly called by the great Sri Ramana

Maharishi. This is an epic work on Devi. Nayana's cranium was split open after

his kundalini was fully awakened and light could be seen shone from it. That

apart, the work is classic and I wish someone with authority will translate it

and give it to the world. This is available thru Sri Aurobindo's ashram in

Pondicherry. You can order it by post.

 

Nora, etc. it is such a pleasure to have this group. You moderators are

wonderful.

No, I haven't lost faith. I sent this article just because I thought it to be

interesting and something to learn from.

 

I have had religious experiences with the Godess, that's why I am here.

 

But when I have discussed the matter with other kundaliniyoga practitioners in

my homecountry, no one has had the same experiences as I have.

 

But I believe in my experiences and have a deep faith in them. But what if I had

had an authoritarian yogateacher who had denied my experiences, and if I had had

low self-esteem, then I perhaps had denied my own unique experiences and gone

totally lost.

 

It seems as our spiritual paths could be very different even if we do the same

yoga.
