Few Questions from a newbie!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone.

 

I am new to this field. I would appreciate if anyone please address

my questions.

 

1. What is the big picture of Mantra, Tantra and Kundalini? How are

they related?

2. I have read that people gain special power after Kundalini Jagran -

but not everyone gets each power. What decides what one will get?

3. Where do Mantras get their Shakti from?

4. What is significance of Beej mantra in Kundalini jagran?

5. Will anyone with experience on Kundalini Jagran share his/her

experience?

6. Can someone whose Kundalini is jagrat still face problems of black

magic etc?

7. Any source how a master gives shaktipaat? (what he does behind the

scene other then moving hands?).

8. Is ajapa of Beej mantra helpful for Kundalini jagran?

9. Anyone with experience on ajapa?

 

I know these are two many questions. Feel free to answer which you

find interesting and answers which you know.

 

Meanwhile check this one too:

 

http://www.geocities.com/kundalini48/kundalini3-effectof-shaktipaat-

shortlived.html

 

Seems plausible.

 

Also, Swami Ramdev of Kankhal(Haridwar, Aastha Channel fame), says in

one of his CDs (I have just CD, being in US - I have no access to his

telecasts) - Shaktipaat is natural if you do Pranayam and same is

said by Swami Sivanand in his book on Kundalini. So what is

Shaktipaat really? A way of saving time and effort? Or is there more

to it which I am missing?

 

Please guide me.

9. Anyone with experience on ajapa?

It is the first time in my entire search of sriprituality on the net

has anyone mentioned this word. Boy There is always a first time.

Impressed. But then I would assume this concept would not be in tantra,

as in tantra, jap is very impt.

What is it that you are looking for in ajapa jap ?

Jai Shree Gurudev.

[my-reply]: u need to study volumes of literature to understand it.

Or, take Diksha and perform sadhanas to experience it!

In 1 liner: Mantra is a mechanism to invoke Devta's (or Devi's)

power, Tantra is the overall environment, which makes it conducive

to obtain & utilize this power. Kundalini is a inherent energy

(shakti) within the body. Upon Kundalini activation, this energy

manifests in various ways (eg. gaining various siddhis), but the

final result (or rather aim) is to obtain one-ness with the Supreme

soul.

Jagran -

> but not everyone gets each power. What decides what one will get?

[my-reply]:

Your own past karmas in this & previous births.

Your own spirituality level.

Capability of your Guru to enhance positive flow, and inhibit

negativites.

Your attachment & contact with Your own Guru.

Your own current actions. eg. during kundalini activation, you may

feel an increased need to enjoy material pleasures - food, wine, sex

etc. You will be successful if you can control these properly, under

direction from Gurudev.

 

> 3. Where do Mantras get their Shakti from?

[my-reply]: Specific Vibrations released during proper chanting of

Mantra enable energy to be collected from the Gods (Devtas & Devis)

 

> 4. What is significance of Beej mantra in Kundalini jagran?

[my-reply]: "Beej Mantra" is the basic, fundamental piece. It is the

main root & source of energy. However, "beej mantra" is used along

with other words. An analogy to a power Dam. A turbine in a ypical

Power-Dam generates 500 MW of energy. However, Can you use it

diretly to run a TV? No, because your TV wont be able to sustain

this level of Voltage. Similarly, "Beej" words are used along with

other words to enable a meaningful result.

 

> 5. Will anyone with experience on Kundalini Jagran share his/her

> experience?

[my-reply]: Never. It is very tempting for a Sadhak to gloat about

his Sadhana successes, and Kundalini activations to others. However,

this gloating & boasting will result in his downfall. A basic rule

of thumb: Anyone with bookish knowledge & no/little successes will

boast & talk a lot. Anyone with actual Siddhis will keep mum to

conserve his/her energies, and move to next path. An empty utensil

makes a lot of noise!

You should always talk directly to pujya Gurudev. Pujya Guruji can

look ahead in your life, understand your actual situation/need in

totality, and give you a specific mantra, or Sadhana according to

your needs. Any xyz Sadhak will give you "advice" based on his

own "incomplete" experiences. A little knowledge is a dangerous

thing. Analogy: If you get ill, whose advice will you prefer: your

relatives' or doctor's?

Three things need full trust to give success: Medicine, Mantra &

Guru.

 

> 6. Can someone whose Kundalini is jagrat still face problems of

black

> magic etc?

[my-reply]: Why not? Black magic is like a sword. Anyone (who has a

bad intention) can try to hit you with any type of weapon - sword,

knife,gun, blackmagic etc.

If Indrajeet (Son of Ravana) could subdue & control God Indra (King

of Gods) Himself using Tantra, then what is a mere mortal with a

slightly enhanced Kundalini!

However, after starting of Kundalini Jagran, you start getting

Siddhis which enable you to identify such issues, and how to deal

with them.

 

There are numerous Sadhanas & prayogs in Mantra Tantra Yantra Vigyan

magazine to counter blackmagic. Are you a magazine member?

 

> 7. Any source how a master gives shaktipaat? (what he does behind

the

> scene other then moving hands?).

[my-reply]: Read "Dikha Sanskar" book authored by Pujya Gurudev. It

is available in English & Hindi. There are other books on Diksha

also. There a few articles on our website http://www.siddhashram.org

 

don't get afraid if you get high fever, or get sick after attaining

Diksha. This is normal, after getting such a high energy transferred

in yourself.

 

> 8. Is ajapa of Beej mantra helpful for Kundalini jagran?

> 9. Anyone with experience on ajapa?

[my-reply]: Again. Please contact & discuss on a personal basis with

Pujya Gurudev. You may meet Him on regular meeting days in Delhi or

Jodhpur. You can also meet during Sadhana Shivirs. I can't

understand why people go & discuss with others (having incomplete

knowledge), even when Pujya Gurudev is so accessible. Anyway, their

own thoughts!

[my-reply]: Shaktipaat basically means transfer of positive energy

from a Guru to His disciple. Watch Ramayana serial wherein Guru

Valmiki performed shaktipaat on Luv & Kush. During this process, the

Guru takes the disciple's bad karmas on Himself, and transfers

positive energy.

Pranayaam basically helps one in cleaning one's body, and enables

one to start controlling his mind. It is an initial step towards

meditation. Of course, positive energy flow into a "clean vessel"

will provide more benefits compared to a flow into a "dirty vessel",

since a part of it will get contaminated (or rather get used in some

cleaning of that vessel).
