Guest guest Posted September 23, 2002 Report Share Posted September 23, 2002 Ok.. so I posted a couple of times regarding addictions and how kundalini can help and I have only received back one response (to my personal email). So I guess I am wondering if I we were the only two people to be drawn to kundalini yoga due to an unwanted addiction in our lives? If that is so... that is great! But I guess I am from the belief that it is due to some level of discomfort in ones life that they are drawn to find some type of healing. I guess now I am wondering - why did each of you come to decide that Kundalini yoga was the way to go? What brought you here? thanks ~~~~ dance with the one that brung ya ~~~ Brad Greenstreet wrote:Sat Nam Jena, "Would someone please clarify to me who or what Ram Das is? And when chanting Guru Guru Wahe Guru Guru Ram Das Guru, what to these words mean in English and is it a chant to a person?" He is the 4th Sikh Guru, and I guess you could say a sort of Saint of 3HO. He is said to have 'materialized' to Yogiji, and guides us all in 3HO. The chant you are doing is a well known and popular one. This is from a 3HO yoga manual: "The mantra relates directly to healing and protective energy represented by Guru Ram Das, the fourth guru of the Sikhs. He is held in reverence by all people who respect universal service. It is by the grace of the house of Guru Ram Das that through his channel SSS Bhai Sahib Harbhajan Singh Khalsa Yogiji, the veils of secrecy have been lifted from the teachings of Kundalini yoga. This mantra is an ashtang mantra. It was given to the SSS from a deep meditation on Guru Ram Das, his guru on the etheric plane. It is comprised of two parts. The first part is a nirgun mantra (Guru Guru Wahe Guru). The second part is a sirgun mantra (Guru Ram Das Guru). Nirgun means without quality. A nirgun mantra is one which vibrates only to infinity, having no actual finite components. A sirgun mantra is one which represents form. This guru manta projects the mind to infinity, then allows a finite guiding relationship to come into your practical activities. The first part of the mantra, Guru Guru Wahe Guru, projects the mind to the source of knowledge and ecstasy. The second part, Guru Ram Das Guru, means 'the wisdom that comes as a servant of the infinite.' It is the mantra of humility. It reconnects the experience of infinity to the finite." It is powerful.
