A snake came and wound around him when he was a kid then after he got married he had to undergo many operations in various parts of his body.when consulted a tantrik he said that he should not be leading a "normal grihasta life" anymore and the naaga-yakshini was responsible to that.he too can predict past with the help of the yakshini.and there are some soumya yakshinis as well like dhanadaa rati priya yakshini which is the tantrokt form of godess lakshmii dont think that it is not like any other devi.if it was reeally a devi why should it trouble so mercilessly.gurudev has said that "bramhand se kehdo bhakti nahi sadhana chahiiye".love and devotion can be explained as "shradda" in tantra sadhana i guess.there is another instance of a yakshini encounter posted by a gurubhai cybersanyasi i think . iam not sure it was posted here or the mantra_tantra group. if one has obtained the related diksha or has a strong and prabhal personality then there is nothing to worry.jai gurudevsohamJay GurudevDear br, the events cited by u...they dont show any sadhna efforts done by any devotee. moreover they disturbed the 'yakshini'. i even doubt that they were yakshinis..u know all this is very very complex...they might be some pretatmas or bad souls. who knows? there are certain parts of the world where yakshinis are worshipped like goddess durga. moreover, these devis they are available in so many forms like mother, sister, lover etc. so depending upon ur intentions u will get the results. to me, mother's form is the best and natural./ To from this group, send an email to: Your use of is subject to the New Photos - easier uploading and sharing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 with due regards to all yakshinis, naag, gandharvas etc --may i remind you that human life is higher than that of these beings. why do you want to leave durga and kali and worship a yakshini as a mother? is it not unfortunate and a waste of life? a waste of being given a chance to go up the elevator using chants -mantra, tantra whatever. why does anyone need any siddhis? where will they take you and what will you do with them? with no moral backing the power to hypnotise others for selfish gains will take us to the doom. also, this never ending and recurring quote of guruji said sadhana is superior to bhakti and so bhakti si something to be despised or some such thing which comes up in our group from time to time -- may i add a minor comment. depending on our past karma both thought and actions we are given a starting slate in this world. all of us possess some good qualities, talents. A person can be born as a great orator , or with tremendous magnetism, intelligence, beauty, great talent for an art music, a brave warrior without ever hearing the word sadhana in their life. similarly, all of us start with our own share od demons. some are more jealous, more egotistical, lazy and given to smallness of character. human beings are just simply gray. this is exactly where sadhana comes is. sadhana is a way of obtaining what was not yours, increasing the positive and driving away the negative. all of us are born with 7 chakras in our body irrespective of the rot that set into hinduism by selfish preists and has still not left fully. there are no distictions on the basis of caste or sex. and sadhana is for everyone.vit is path that will lead all to the supreme. what guruji meant was that bhakti is not for everyone. It simply cannot be. We human beings usually have a lot of selfishness, cunningness whatever even when dealing with other human beings. This same attitude is projected towards Gods -Oh gOd how beautiful is your nose - please help me marry aishwarya rai. OR oh God, how lovely are your eyes -please help we improve the sales of my shop. this is not bhakti, as it is practiced. Bhakti in itself is a supreme gift, the biggest blessing. And it is given only to the very few fortunate ones. only one is a million is a Meera.There is nothing wrong with bhakti, it is we who are incapable of it.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2003 Report Share Posted December 18, 2003 i do appreciate and believe myself whatever u have written. yakshinis are surely not better than the forms of maa durgaa. why to choose glass when u have diamond. let me make it clear, the matter of yakshinis arose b'coz of a query posted on the group, the guy was afraid...that's why yakshinis were highlighted not because they possess certain high attributes. good thinking, pl. keep it up.devi_bhagat <devi_bhagat > wrote: with due regards to all yakshinis, naag, gandharvas etc --may i remind you that human life is higher than that of these beings. why do you want to leave durga and kali and worship a yakshini as a mother? is it not unfortunate and a waste of life? a waste of being given a chance to go up the elevator using chants -mantra, tantra whatever. why does anyone need any siddhis? where will they take you and what will you do with them? with no moral backing the power to hypnotise others for selfish gains will take us to the doom.also, this never ending and recurring quote of guruji said sadhana is superior to bhakti and so bhakti si something to be despised or some such thing which comes up in our group from time to time -- may i add a minor comment. depending on our past karma both thought and actions we are given a starting slate in this world. all of us possess some good qualities, talents.

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Sister Anu I appreciate the points you have mentioned. But may I add my own perception on what was said by Guruji. All that Guruji mentioned when he said go for Sadhanas is work and acquire what you desire and what makes sense to you at this moment. One may like to be rich. Another to be famous. The third person may want to be a succesful business man or a film actor. Everything is possible and there is nothing wrong with a healthy desire because that is what drives a human being. Anyone can be succesful in his ambition wihtout harming others and through spiritual training and discipline which is what acquiring something through Sadhana. As far Bhaktas like Meera, Surdas or Poonthanam they too had been good Sadhaks but they have realised that whatever we get in material World once it becomes ours we lose interest in that after a short period. Therefore they lived in their own world which made sense to them but at the sametime did Sadhanas for others in an unselfish manner. All I have said can be summarized as " Before sharing, on should possess and once a person feels he has got something, he will willingly share it with others".

Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 --- mahadevan ji, what you said is perhaps indeed correct. sadhaks and bhaktas are not not mutually exclusive sets. And indeed it is great idea depending on capacity and inclination to mix the two. Sadhana is indeed a powerful means to gain what is not ours materially and spiritually. in the short while i have been practicing, i have noticed that my own perspective of situations has changed, and i am able to see through my own mind games, and not only through those of others as earlier. it is welcome change, towards self correction. thank you jai gurudev anu ps: today is dhoomavati siddhi divas paush shukla pancham is bagala and then i think krsihna tryitiya is matangi siddhi diwas. searching for a message called siddhashram panchang will give more details. meanwhile, i am trying to do some sadhanas -they are helping, and do not wish too be a slave once again to my incessant incoherent chatter. besides paush navrati start sadghaks, In , "mahadevanv" <mahadevanv> wrote: > Sister Anu > > I appreciate the points you have mentioned.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Om Shree Matre Namaha, Please note that yakshinis are not safe as you may think. They may give you enough fantasies, but there are many conditions to it and if unfulfilled, they have the power to consume the sadhak itself. My sincere advise is to take the help of Gods and Goddesses and not other forms. Yakshinis if unsatisfied can even trouble the sadhaks family too. Please heed the advise of Guruji.
