Request Guru

[Guest guest]

Sat Nam,

Blessings to my friends at Ky groups and the New Moon!!!

 

I really could use some help and guidance. My yoga teacher is out of

town, although aware of most of latest, and of course my husband has

no interest in my life's happenings presently.

 

So, I am, in essence, alone on this physical realm. Please help.

Love and Light, Georgia/Nirmal Kaur(I will be using my spiritual name

from now on!)

Dear Nirmal Kaur,

Sat Nam. You are not alone in this realm. You are never alone. There is

always assistance for all of us from the Heavens. All we have to do is be

Aware in order to receive it. Kundalini Yoga is the yoga of Awareness. So

why are you still "in desperate need for a Guru" since you are already

blessed within that presence? GURU is the teacher that transforms us, by

taking us from the GU of darkness to the RU of Light. The Guru doesn't have

to be in human presence but it can also be an energy, a spiritual technique.

Kundalini Yoga IS the Guru. It is the yoga that transforms us. It will show

you the light if you seek it. But the most imporatnt thing that it does, is

that it teaches you that once you tune in, the GURU is within you. No one

will take you by the hand and show you the light because you have to do this

alone. You need to develop your own intelligence. You need to learn how to

stand on your own two feet and walk the spiritual path, using your intuition

as your inner guide that will light your way and your faith as the sword

that will protect you.

Love and Light

Sat Atma-Athens

ps: ... by the way, your yoga teacher is back in town.

Sat Nam Nirmal Kaur (and others),

I read your message only a couple of days ago, of your curiosity in a

"Guru" and your request for guidance.

There is a special meditation for "guidance".

I have copied it below. It is from the KRI Training Manual and is

compiled by Gurucharan Singh Khalsa (one of Yogi Bhajan's "right hand

men") and is very precise practice for linking to and receiving that guidance. I

have made a recording of the proper pronunciation.

Sat Nam,

Dharam Singh

 

THE COMPLETE ADI MANTRA

FOR INDIVIDUAL MEDITATION

 

To center yourself before a set of Kundalini Yoga we chant the Adi

Mantra 3 - 5 times. Adi means the first or primal; Mantra is the

creative projection of the mind through sound. This mantra is the first

creative action. It centers you into the higher self and reminds your

lower minds that it is not your ego that will practice or teach

Kundalini Yoga. Technically it is the linking mantra for the Golden

Chain. The golden chain is the inner spark of Kundalini that is passed

person to person; teacher to student; guru to teacher; cosmos and God to

guru. By chanting this and linking, the exercises and meditations that

you practice are guided by your higher consciousness and all the

teachers that have brought this opportunity to you. It makes you very

receptive and sensitive to the messages of your body, mind, and

intuition. HOWEVER, it is only to be used as a link when you are to

teach. It is not like an individual mantra which is complete in itself.

It is a hook that creates a flow which you serve. If your need is

spiritual linkage and guidance then there is another form that is used:

the complete Adi Mantra.

The complete individual form of the mantra immerses you in awareness and

guidance for your personal situation. It establishes a guiding beam

between you in your immediate state and your higher consciousness that

is true through all states. It is very useful if you are entering Shakti

Pad in Kundalini Yoga. It is also excellent as a means to gain

perspective and direction.

Yogi Bhajan explained this when he said, "Use this mantra in its

complete form anytime you have a lack of faith or any similar thing:

Many of you will enter Shakti Pad, or you are in it, this mantra will

help: With the grace of Guru Ram Das, when this mantra is chanted five

times on one breath, the total spiritual knowledge of all teachers who

have ever existed or who will ever exist on this earth is beseated in

that person."

 

HOW TO RECITE:

Sit in an easy pose with your spine erect. Bring both palms in front of

the heart center of the chest facing upward. Touch the sides of the

palms along the little fingers and sides of the hands, as if you will

receive something in them. Form Gian mudra in each hand by gently

touching the tip of the first finger to the tip of the thumb.

Focus your eyes on the tip of the nose. Inhale deeply and chant the

words as you exhale. Chant the entire mantra three to five times on one

breath. Keep the number of repetitions per breath constant. The sound

Dev is chanted a minor third higher than the other sounds. The sound of

devaa carries slightly on the 'aa' sound.

 

THE MANTRA:

ONG NAMO GURU DEV NAMO

GURU DEV NAMO GURU DEVAA

 

* to listen to an audio clip of it,

http://www.sahej.com/Adi-mantra_long-form.ram

 

 

Continue 11 to 31 minutes for a powerful meditation and guidance. He did

not restrict longer periods of practice if you desire it.

 

The sound of Ong is created in the inner chambers of the sinuses and

upper palate. It is the "ng" sound that is emphasized. The first part of

Namo is short and rhymes with "hum". The first' syllable of the word

Guru is pronounced as in the word, "good." The second syllable, "ru",

has a sound that rhymes with the word "true." The word Dev rhymes with

"save." The aa in Devaa is chanted with the mouth open and the sound

vibrating as ah from an open throat.

 

THE MEANING:

Ong is the creative energy of the total cosmos and consciousness of the

creator as experienced in this creation. It has the connotation of

energy and activity. It creates involvement without attachment. It

generates shakti, the generative force of life. Note that the sound is

not Om. That sound is for withdrawal and relaxation.

 

Namo means to bow to or to call on. The connotation is one of respect

and receptivity. It is the type of bowing that grants dignity through

acknowledging a higher consciousness and discipline.

 

Ong Namo calls on your consciousness to become subtle and receptive to

its own higher resources. It instructs the conscious and the

subconscious to let go of the normal restrictions to functioning that is

imposed by our limited ego.

Guru means wisdom or teacher. It does not mean a personality. It refers

to a source of the knowledge. Not just any knowledge. It is the kind of

knowledge which transforms you, that alleviates pain and that increases

your awareness. Guru in the spiritual context is the embodiment of the

infinite. The word can be broken into parts: Gu means darkness or

ignorance; ru means light or knowledge; Gur means a formula to

systematically attain a goal; so a guru is something which can give you

a gur to transform your gu to ru!

Dev means subtle, etheric, divine or belonging to the realms of God. It

implies sophistication and wisdom.

 

Guru Dev Namo calls on the subtle wisdom that guides you in an

impersonally personal manner It is a wisdom that is stored and

transmitted through the subtle and radiant bodies of the aura. It is the

realm and guidance of Guru Ram Das.

 

If the limited individual ego in which we normally live is a small pond,

then Ong Namo release us into a vast and endless ocean. Guru Dev Namo

gives us the experience of the wisest seer and all of his charts to

guide us to the many ports we are to serve and experience.
