Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Dear All, Hi to All. I am a new joinee in the group and have not much idea about Kundalini Jagran etc beyond what I have read in a few books here or there. However as I am keen to pursue the path of Yoga to move ahead in finding the truth, have got a few admonitions from a few books, literature and a few friends, acquiantances to not go on this path withouth the guidance of a proper Guru. Now have been pretty perplexed with the ultimate question of finding the proper GURU. What does it mean and how to find it. Or if I should start treading the path of Kundalini Jagran by being a member to this group and with the help of relevant literature. Can anybody help me provide with some insight to my predicament. I am based in Delhi India and know nobody with the same inclination. Thanks n Regards Amit Singh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Sat Nam Amit Singh (some words) "No matter what we achieve, our successes are hollow unless we fulfill the soul's yearning to bring higher consciousness into our daily lives. Kundalini Yoga, as taught by Yogi Bhajan, is much more than a system of physical exercise; it's a dynamic, powerful tool for expanding awareness. An integrated and authentic system of exercise, breath control, and meditation that has been practiced in India for millennia, it's safe, comprehensive, and simple. It promotes physical health, stimulates the mind's potential, and touches one's innermost being. This is a yoga for householders - for people who have to cope with the daily challenges and stresses of holding jobs, raising families, and managing careers. You don't have to leave your home, become an ascetic, or sit in a cave. Even spending three minutes a day meditating or stretching into a Kundalini Yoga posture at your desk provides benefit. Of all the technology and wisdom that Yogi Bhajan could have taught from his vast storehouse of experience and mastery, he chose Kundalini Yoga and meditation because it is so effective, comprehensive, and "do-able." Kundalini yoga is based on kriyas, or specially formulated sets of exercises. This allows you to target specific benefits and work on exactly those aspects of yourself that need work at the current time. Any amount of time spent practicing - whether three minutes or an hour a day - produces significant benefits, and in turn, motivate individuals to dedicate more time to its practice. Practicing Kundalini Yoga keeps the body in shape and trains the mind to be strong and flexible in the face of stress and change. It increases oxygen capacity, boosts blood flow, balances the glandular system, strengthens the nervous system, and reduces stress-induced toxins such as adrenaline and cortol. The effect is a heightened self-awareness and vitality that allows you to harness mental and emotional energy. Individuals feel more in control of themselves, with enhanced peace of mind, concentration, and a deep inner calm and self-confidence. No matter what someone's age or physical capacity is, Kundalini yoga and meditation can have immediate benefits." There is free, indepth, online course by Gururattana at http://kundaliniyoga.org/ and use of the archives is available at Kundaliniyoga/messages You can do a word search of just about anything including the word "archive". For more on this entity of "Guru", go to Kundaliniyoga/message/21070 While it has truly been an experience beyond words to have a teacher like Yogi Bhajan, he taught all his students that the teacher (the Shabad Guru) is always present. Be still, Set yourself and invoke the presence, first, with the methodology of the Adi Mantra. Sat Nam, Dharam Singh (been to Delhi) amit_singh75 wrote: > Dear All, > > Hi to All.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi Amit, Its really nice that you have also join yoga path. You will definately have benifits in this way. As you are starting, I will suggest you to join some yoga class in delhi. Try if someone teachs kundalini yoga, otherwise you can look for Parayanam exercises. I was watching a video from a yogi teacher (Swami Ramdev) who is very popular in india in these days. You can join his shiver for few days if u can. Otherwise you can practice yoga exercises at home. at the same time you can read about kundalini yoga on internet. The end target of kundalini yoga is to know ourselves and awakening kundalini energy. I hope this will help a bit to start.
