Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Respected Sir, Please forgive me if I am asking doubts in a pragmatic way. As I am not evolved as you all, I am able to understand things if said only in a basic level. Frankly speaking, I am really getting confused about this KA. It would be a great help if you could enlighten me a little more on certain concepts about this. Hope respected scholars do not mind if I straight away shoot my doubts. 1. Is Realization some `STATE TO BE ACHIEVED' OR is it AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, COMPREHENSION and IDENTIFICATION OF THE FACT THAT ATMA AND PARAMATMA ARE ONE AND THE SAME (I mean, identifying both intellectually and emotionally; How to realize it `PHYSICALLY' I donno, Is that what Kundali awakening does?)? So far, I have believed that the latter (not a state to be achieved, but realization of the idea) is what is meant by Realization. Reason for doubt: After reading the various `methods' adopted by people to achieve this realization I feel it is a step (like the higher most step in a ladder, after reading your mail I understand it is only an intermediate step) to be reached and unless one go through the first, second third. etc KA being one important step between these, one cannot reach the top of the ladder (top being Realization) 2. Secondly, (a follow up of the above question) Is `Realisation' possible without Kundali awakening? I mean, can one override this intermediate step of KA to achieve Realisation? If YES, I am happy. If NO, what is the role of KA, in the path of realization? How does it speed up the realization? I can't understand, how the feeling of `FLOATING OF BUBBLES AND SPREADING OF ENERGY ALL THROUGH THE BODY' makes one realize or leads to the realization that atma and paramatma is one. (I know this will seem to be a stupid question for the realized people, but as a person who hasn't had the experience, but would like to know about it, I would like scholars to explain this kindly to me, considering me an infant in this field) 3. Thirdly, how can one awaken Kundali by Satwic means? 4. >>An adwaitic self-realization can come only when Kundalini reaches Sahasrara and becomes fixed there.>> Is it possible to permanently fix Kundalini in Shasrarapadma? Is this the final stage which is called "Realisation'? Is this what is called `Moksha'? What is the `Result' of this Realization? Is it emancipation from the cycle of births and rebirths? How can one physically explain it, I mean the Moksha state? Sholars kindly share your opinions. Regards, Jyothi vedic astrology, "Narasimha P.V.R.

It does not guarantee Realization right away. A dwaitic God-realization can come only when Kundalini reaches ishta devata in Hritpadma and becomes fixed there. An adwaitic self- realization can come only when Kundalini reaches Sahasrara and becomes fixed there. All these are a long way from a mere Kundalini awakening.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 font-family:Arial">Dear Jyothi, font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">>1.

So far, I have font-family:Arial">>believed that the latter (not a state to be achieved, but realization font-family:Arial">>of the idea) is what is meant by Realization. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">You are correct. Realization is the understanding of the supreme truth. What this truth is cannot be explained unless one experiences it. Perhaps, a closest explanation/understanding is given in the Upanishads. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Realization is a two-stage process. The first stage involves the act of giving up everything, thereby recognizing that nothing belongs to you. Sarvam Krishnarpanamasthu means we offer (actions and attachments) everything to god. We give the same importance to gold as we give to a heap of sand. The second stage involves accepting ourselves to be a part of everything. Aham Brahmasmi means I am Brahman (the supreme). So, realization is a two-stage transformation from being Something (Ego) to becoming Nothing (giving up identity) and then becoming Everything (Isha). font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Something --> Nothing --> Everything = Realization font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Kundalini awakening is just a minute part of the entire Kundalini field. Kundalini is the Supreme energy that exists in everybody. The goal of kundalini yoga is to make one merge with the Supreme. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Kundalini awakening makes one recognize that this powerful force is present within our body. This does not however make one dissolve with the powerful force. A yogi, after awakening his kundalini further tries to channelize it through the chakras and finally wants it to merge with the Sahasrara. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">>2. Secondly, (a follow up of the above question) Is `Realisation' font-family:Arial">>possible without Kundali awakening? I mean, can one override this font-family:Arial">>intermediate step of KA to achieve Realisation? font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">When a person is seeking realization, he chooses a path. This path can be through Gnana Yoga, Bhakti Yoga or Hatha Yoga. While moving through this path, Kundalini awakening takes place. We can consider it as a part of realization process. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">>3. Thirdly, how can one awaken Kundali by Satwic means? font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">There is no need to resort to special means to awaken Kundalini. If one resorts to Bhakti Yoga (path of devotion), the awakening takes automatically at the right time. The more devotion one has, the earlier Kundalini awakening takes place. There is however a particular type of Pranayama, which when practiced results in awakening the Kundalini. This is very powerful and must not be performed without the guidance of a Guru. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">>Is it possible to permanently fix Kundalini in Shasrarapadma? Is this font-family:Arial">>the final stage which is called "Realisation'? Is this what is font-family:Arial">>called `Moksha'? What is the `Result' of this Realization? Is it font-family:Arial">>emancipation from the cycle of births and rebirths? How can one font-family:Arial">>physically explain it, I mean the Moksha state? font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Yes. It is possible to permanently fix Kundalini in Sahasrara. The yogi then goes into Samadhi. The earlier shankaracharyas of Sringeri are known to have gone into this state. Realization usually makes the person escape from the cycle of birth and death. It cannot be physically explained. It is more of a spiritual process. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Kundalini Yoga is a very powerful process. As one ascends in his state, he comes across various Granthi’s which act as testing stages. Kundalini shakti is also a powerful tool and many people usually become addicted to it. They can misuse the special powers they get. It is said that a person whose kundalini is awakened has the ability to forecast things. font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Kundalini Yoga can be practiced to get a lot of material benefits, but the aim of Kundalini Yoga is to achieve realization. font-family:Arial"> Om Tat Sat, font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Raman Suprajarama font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial"> vedic astrology [vedic astrology] On Behalf Of jyothi_lakshmi_b Thursday, June 30, 2005 10:52 AM vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Kundali Awkning..To Narasimhji and all..some more doubts plzzz font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial">Respected Sir, font-family:Arial"> font-family:Arial"> Please forgive me if I am asking doubts in a pragmatic way. font-family:Arial">As I am not evolved as you all, I am able to understand things if font-family:Arial">said only in a basic level.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Respected Sir, Thanks a lot for clarifying my doubts. Things are more clear now. (It is only now I realise the fact that lot of people are there who have experienced Kundalini awakening. Until now, I had thought it happened only to Sri Ramakrishna Paramhamsa, Sri aurobindo and the like!!)

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2005 Report Share Posted June 30, 2005 Namaskaar Sri Jyothi 1. Realization is not an achievement. It is an already achieved goal. "It is like a person who slides his specs onto the forehead, and then, forgets where he kept the specs. In that state of ignorance, it runs here and there to find them (desires)." You are very correct is stating that it is not an achievement. This is my contention that Kundalini being an experience relates to Subject-Object world and denotes only to the mind and cosmic mind. Ignorance still remains. Like in our above example, maybe the person can enlighten all the rooms with light through electricity and finds all the objects in his house, he still does not realize that the spectacles are on his forehead. My post was in Jyotish Group and perhaps you did not read it. 2. The question dissolves. Realization is not under the purview of cause and effect and therefore, Kundalini or any other form of experience cannot "effect" Realization. 3. Something I have no idea about. I have been taught that Kundalini is a by product of one's sadhana. 4. I would say with Realization, no force is separate from you. What is fixed in whom it is fixed, all separativeness would dissolve. Somehow this discussion is going elsewhere. I would again like to keep it under the purview of Jyotish. Thank you again to Sri Narasimha for giving directions on Atmakaraka and karaka pravesh and its relationship with 8 house in D-20 and D-9. I shall study the related combinations in charts where I suppose an experience of Kundalini has taken place. I thank all the other contributors for their comments and suggestions. I still await a longer response from Sri Pandit and other learned members.
