Kundalini Shakti and Ahimsa

[Guest guest]

Kundalini practices and rituals and their mystical visionary manifestations

are described in one form or another in almost every religion or spiritual

tradition.

 

Sages and scriptures declare, however, that although many superconscious

experiences and manifestations of siddhis are possible through Kundalini

Yoga, Self reveals itself only in a calm and clear mind.

 

In Patanjali's Yoga sutras, Ahimsa (the attitude of nonviolence and amity

towards living beings) is mentioned as the first yama (rule or restraint)

for a Yogi. The ancient sages say that the practice of Ahimsa brings peace.

 

A peaceful mind that has been refined through self-awareness and devotion

has the capacity to surrender to the Lord of Life, Lord of the Heart. For

such a devotee, the Goddess does not waste time showing the scenery but

takes the devotee directly to the Source, the Heart, and reveals that the

Goddess, Devotee, the Lord are all rooted in the Heart, the Self. All

scenery and beautiful paths merge in the Self that is It Self the nature of

Self-Existent Beauty.

 

Here is a quote from "Day by Day with Bhagavan" where Sri Ramana quotes a

poet saint:

 

Not knowing who I was,

I used to speak of "I" and "mine"

But I am You and mine is You,

Lord whom all the gods adore. (Nammalwar)

 

Love to all
