Not that I can think of them right now or remember the specifics. Anyone here wanta refresh my ailing memory and share ya wisdoms? All welcome. Auuummmm Sy hmshutton wrote: Dear All,Bells. They were under discussion here a month ago or so, and we moved on....Yogananda, in his lengthy commentary to the BHAGAVAD GITA, says that AUM is "heard" in the various chakras differently: in the base chakra, as the buzzing of bees; in the 6th chakra as flutes; in the 5th (solar plexus) as harps (I expect he really meant sitars but, apres tout, it was the USA in the 1930's and no one knew from sitars then); in the heart chakra, as bells; in the throat chakra as the ocean's roar...at the third eye a symphony of all these sounds.I had just loaded up the ol' word processor to drop a note to someone when I got BUZZED (1st chakra?) to send out the bell-information to OM Ganesh, so here it is.Yogananda also says that the true fire ceremony is the rising of the kundalini....you do the math.While I have reservations about his work, which I think was constricted by the provincial piety that retarded the American spiritual milieu in which he had to work, I have no reservations regarding his power. I once met a highly developed medium, the real thing, who was spiritually developed as well as psychically. Her best friend had been a devotee of Yogananda. One year she received, in New York, from a psychic artist somewhere way up north in Canada, a portrait of Yogananda. He had appeared to the artist and requested that she create this portrait and send it to his devotee, giving enough of an address that the person's mailing address could be found.The painter made the portrait and sent it away.The kicker is that it arrived on the devotee's birthday!!!Anyway, back to the buzzing and bells and resultant symphony - Ganesha residing in the base chakra, there must be a bit more to his being Lord of Music than we presently suspect.
