spiritual guidance and expert opinion

 

 

> Hello:

>

> I need your spiritual guidance and expert opinion. My husband is

preparing to do the 9 day Anusthan fast. I am new to all of the Meditation

and Sansrit terms so please excuse me if I misspell or mis-speak.

>

> He is very focused on this and is not communicating much to me. However,

with the power of the internet I have been able to learn about what he is

studying in a nonintrusive manner. As a result, the more I have learned,

the more questions have surfaced. Peace and blessings for taking time out

of your busy schedule to help me.

>

> First, I must convey my goal or mission here. I just want to be of

service to my husband in any way that I can to make this an amazing

experience for him. I have been reading about the awaking the chakras - and

I want that for him, and ultimately for me also. so here are my

questions...

>

> What is the difference between kundalini and chakra?

>

> what does anusthan mean?

>

> is there a seperate gayatri mantra for women and men?

>

> in the 9 day fast, I read about eating sattvic foods. can you tell me

what specific foods can be consumed during the anusthan?

>

> I suggested going to a state park to do the fast. What are the

restrictions during the fast, like no talking. Can he sleep in a bed or

must he sleep on the floor?

>

> If on the floor, can he use a mat or blanket?

>

> should his food be cooked or just raw vegetables and fruit, etc?

>

> what type of garments should i make him? loose fitting white pants?

>

> Again, I cannot tell you how much your input will mean to me.

>

> THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
