Kundalini Yoga teachings of Yogi Bhajan with Nonduality of Advaita Vedanta

[Guest guest]

Dear Harsha,

 

Thanks.

 

Yogi Bhajan's output was so voluminous over35 years that the core or hub of his

teachings, which actually threads itself throughout is often overlooked, like a

pearl neckalace where you see the pearls but not the thread that holds them

together. All I've tried to do is to bring the vastness of his teachings back

to their ever-present perspective. This also helps with the development of one's

practice (Sadhana). Ramana Maharshi has said that the mind will go towards

where you aim it. (Modern courses in self image psychology teach the same

thing.)

 

When the purpose of the practice (sadhana) (which in KY generates pranic

pressure and heat) is rightfully understood, the whole process of distillation

of impurities (Aradhana) accelerates towards crystallization (pradupati) -

non-objective awareness.

 

Non-objective awareness is a radical change in one's perception of identity,

where one experiences one's Self as single pervasive being, untouched and

unaffected by changing images, no longer gripped by attention binding ones

sense of identity to a limited view. The Crystallization (pradupati) Yogi

Bhajan speaks of is an inward transformation much like a diamond that seems to

change color in relation to images it is passed before, but in itself remains

single dense and unchanged.

 

One experiences Reality as the practical outcome of Sadhana. The mind's power

of attention is disengaged by the force of the awakening Self, and you

experience your Self as pervasive presence, some might call it a kind of a

holographic awareness, where the subject to object seeing mechanism is dropped

from use, near and far loose meaning and everything appears in you without

distinction or separation, you, the self luminous screen of Self abiding

Consciousness.

 

This may seem like something extraordinary, but it's really more like the

analogy of a bottle of water that is closed at the top, floating in the middle

of the ocean. If an inward pressure in brought to bear in the water inside the

bottle, heat is generated and the cork comes out and what is inside and what was

outside are now discovered to have always been one and the same. This

experience of pradupati is the advent of what is called "sunia" in the Sikh

vernacular, "Sravana" in Vedanta, and in Christianity the translation is

"hearing."

 

Hearing leads to remembrance, like coming out of a progressive amnesia; and

remembrance to perfect abiding. It's often said in the scriptures of all

religions that "ripe souls" or the "pure in heart" will easily hear this Truth.

Kundalini Yoga is a means through which the process or ripening or distilling

impurities can be and is accelerated for those who pursue the Sadhana ardently.

A relentless process sets in which is inexorable in its outcome to the point

where the slightest mention of the Truth that who we are is no different from

the Universal Consciousness, results in a sudden inward recollection, and we

abide in a state of non-objective awareness, where "nothing is separate and we

cling to nothing." (Third Zen Patriarch)

"When the "I" and Infinity create impact, you will become totally divine.

Otherwise there is a duality which keeps you away from Reality, and the pain is

humongous." Yogi Bhajan.

 

"Always abide in the Non-Dual." Yogi Bhajan

RE: KY Sadhana and the teaching core experience, as distilled from Yogi

Bhajan's lectures and classes

 

Yes, Pieter is one of the most eloquent and gifted writers on Kundalini Yoga,

especially in integrating

the Kundalini Yoga teachings of Yogi Bhajan with Nonduality of Advaita Vedanta.

Perfect!

 

Love to all
