Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 I dont quite understand your question. Yoga and sadhana consist of these techniques. All great yogis have used them, Sivananda, Vivekananda, Ramakrishna, Satyananda, Paramhansa Yogananda, Sri Yukteshwar, Lahiri Mahasaya. These are the ones who have left their own writing and we can read from them. I dont know if Jesus or Kabir also practiced the same. In my eyes and in my understanding these great yogis were supreme. , prakki surya <dattapr2000> wrote: > > dear friend > > can you please tell me any one real devotee's name from the past who used such technique to please lord (like meditation or chanting).

Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Ok, lets see what happens during thinking. While thinking, clouds of our thoughts are emitted from our brain in the atmosphere. Our aura changes. Thoughts are just another kind of energy. The more prana you assign to them the stronger they become. Continuous thinking on a single subject can be seen in the aura. This kind of energy has the characteristic that it draws to itself the same kind of energy. So if you are a person who thinks about God, similar clouds of thoughts from other people, or even thoughtforms will be drawn to you. Your own thoughts might even travel through the akashic atmosphere to meet the aura of another person and strengthen it. That is how criminals get obsessed. They think continously and plan their crime, this way dragging negative energy, thoughtforms and even entities around them. Their mind becomes manipulated, they cannot think clearly and their logic vanishes. If you think of positive things, positive energy will meet you and if you worship the lord, even angels might surround you and guard you. This is how prayer works. Prayer works because it is emotionally intense. Intense emotions charge the thoughts with prana more easily thus giving them fuel to travel and to draw to them other thoughts. Thinking tunes you with the subject of thought. And this can be a fun thing to do. Sometimes in my spare time, I might experiment with various ideas or people. Thinking continously of an abstract concept brings you closer in understanding its nature. Repeating the name of a person tunes you with him and you might start feeling his/her energy. Devotion to the lord through thinking, praying, singing and loving him is bhakti yoga. It uplifts the devotee, clears the aura and strengthens it. Such thinking is nothing less than japa yoga, repetion of mantra. There is a difference though which is very significant. Raja yoga techniques are like surgery, you directly and precisely manipulate the energy. Repeating mantras resonating from spiritual areas tunes you easily and directly with them, without having to tune with them through the emotional, less precise, its like going somewhere without knowing the name of the city. The thinking of the lord you describe is fine. Ultimately it leads to meditation when the energies you concentrate upon get into you. Meditation as Uday describes is about experiencing, it is the goal of devotion or concentration. It is the ACTUAL communion with the lord and not the MERE thinking of him. , prakki surya <dattapr2000> wrote: > > when you are thinking about Lord and His divine knowledge, how can you say it is waste? infact anything other than this will be waste.
