Guest guest Posted October 24, 2004 Report Share Posted October 24, 2004 Hello Everyone, I am new to this group... Although I have read a lot of hindu philosophy (esp. the Yogas) by Swami Vivekanand, I have just learnt about Siddhashram (through the net/website). I haven't taken diksha yet... To be very frank I am a little skeptical about all this. Especially because there are so many people around who cheat you in such activities. I do not mean to hurt any sentiments, but if i have or do then I humbly ask forgiveness. Of the Yogas I have read, I like Raj(a) Yoga the most. I regularly practice pranayam and meditation. Has anyone here been able to awaken his/her kundalini? I presume a lot of people here must have taken diksha already. Do the Trimurti Gurudev give the diksha directly or only through photo? Do you actually get to meet them? Are there any specific conditions to receive diksha? Actually I am on the lookout for a Guru. But before accepting anyone as your guru I feel that it is very important to make at least some enquiry. I thought that there is no better way than asking the disciples themselves. I also wanted to know how your Guru can take care of all his disciples (Esp when they are just too many of them.). I would be extremely happy to receive some guidance from you all. Warm Regards, Meditator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 Diksha is transferring of powers from guru to sishya. This process is by the guru placing his foot on the head of the sishya and transferring his powers thereof. Even there are other methods of transfer l;ike the guru placing his thumb on the forehead and passing his powers. hence this requires real contact and through photo may not be soo perfecte_meditator <e_meditator > wrote: Hello Everyone,I am new to this group...
