My practice

[Guest guest]

I started with TM about 30 years ago. The technique was ok, but the

organization was not to my liking. Then I was initiated into the

Himalayan tradition under Swami Rama. The path is mainly Raja yoga, but

includes the 8 rungs of the latter to samadi. This is mantra

meditation, and there is a guru presence. I would like to know if this

is much different that KY? To me, it seems much the same. And I agree

with a few of the past posts about not worrying about missing a day now

and then. More and more I am integrating my practice with daily living,

and I find that extreamly benificial.

Dear Russ,

 

Are you practicing Kundalini yoga? You have to practice it to know the

difference. You feel it!

 

Sat Nam,

Sat Nam Russ,

Swami Rama has written at least three books on subjects that derive

from the Sikh tradition (Yogi Bhajan is a Sikh) including "Celestial

Song/Gobind Geet: The Dynamic Dialogue of Sri Guru Gobind Singh and

Banda Singh Bahadur" and Japji: Meditation in Sikhism. The point is his

path, at least, intersects that of Yogi Bhajan. I know nothing of the

particular tools taught by Swami Rama except that he is in the Raja

tradition. Well it just so happens that Guru Ram Das (born on September

24, 1534) sits on the throne of the Raja Yoga Tradition. Yogi Bhajan's

personal saint is Guru Ram Das. Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi

Bhajan, retains the integrity of the Hatha and Raj traditions and

observes the 8 stems as codified by Patanjai. By tuning in with the Adi

Mantra, as we do each time we practice, there is a "guru presence" and a

shaman presence and a Christ presence and a Buddha presence, and so on,

but it just IS. There is no other conscious "effort" to evoke a presence

except during specific meditations.

 

You're in real good company.

Direct experience is the best teacher.

Learn and experience what you have to in order to BE in that place of trust.

Build your Navel Point by doing something everyday for it. This will

allow for a deeper experience of your meditation and the peace.

Sat Nam,

Dharam Singh
