maya. with sadasiva that is pure consciousness as a witness.i

Beeja Mantra: HUM

 

Above sahasrara chakra resides maheshwara or Maheshwari that is

ardhanarishwar or ardhanarishari. There is only one god. but we meditate

her in

different forms. The above is just one illustration to intensify our

visualisation.

 

My question follows:, i WAS FORWARDED the below ARTICLE, I would like to

have second opinion when practising meditation.

 

ARTICLE WARNS:

 

But this energy when activated can sometimes prove harmful. The tremendous

energy when unleashed could at times magnify one's negative traits and make

one's actions perverted, for as it is said - Absolute power corrupts

absolutely!

 

But this happens only when one does not have a Sadguru, a truly enlightened

spiritual master in one's life. If however one has, then he could easily

prevent any mishap and lead one on and ultimately introduce one to the real

creative powers hidden within.

 

To achieve this state however one has to try and that too fearlessly. If you

are apprehensive of getting drowned you can never learn to swim. You can't

even learn without entering the waters. A Guru can only teach you the

method, it is then upto you whether you dive in or not. But know it, without

diving you can never learn.

 

You shall have to try Sadhanas. And don't you worry about anything, for the

Sadguru guides each step in life and he won't let you drown or any harm come

to you. And if you keep trying then one day suddenly you shall know that you

have learnt to swim. A feeling of elation shall then fill you.

 

After Sadhana very suddenly one day a Chakra would be activated and some

divine experience shall let you know it. You shall then be a witness to all

that you have only read about till now. But to reach that stage you shall

have to run, run with all your might, with full faith and conviction that

you shall win. If you don't, you shall not get anywhere. raji

Hi Rajeswari Iyer,

 

If you or anyone wishes to have information on the dhyanaslokas of the yoginis

presiding over the chakras, please refer to the book "Shatchakranirupana". Sir

John Woodroff has given a beautiful translation of Shatchakranirupana in English

in the latter part of his book 'the Serpent Power' . For very, very authentic

information, pl refer to Yoginihrdayam by Bhaskararaya.
