HHSM: Mohammed Sahib, is the one who have talked about Miraj - is the ascent through our Kundalini.

[Guest guest]

To all who have surrendered to the Last Jugment and Resurrection,According to April 12, 2001 Time magazine the "centrality of Jerusalem in Muslim spirituality is apparent in the story of Muhammad's mystical Night Journey to Jerusalem. Muslim texts make it clear that this was not a physical experience but a visionary one (not dissimilar to the heavenly visions of the Jewish Throne Mystics at this time). One night Muhammad was conveyed miraculously from the Kabah to Jerusalem's Temple Mount. There he was welcomed by all the great prophets of the past before ascending through the seven heavens. On his way up he sought the advice of Moses, Aaron, Enoch, Jesus, John the Baptist and Abraham before entering the presence of God. The story shows the yearning of the Muslims to come from far-off Arabia right into the heart of the monotheistic family, symbolized by Jerusalem."Let us now consider Abdullah Yusuf Ali's

explanation: "It opens with the mystic Vision of the Ascension of the Holy Prophet: he was transported from the Sacred Mosque (of Makkah) to the Farthest Mosque (of Jerusalem) in a night and shown some of the Signs of Allah. The majority of Commentators take this Night Journey literally, but allow that there were other occasions on which a spiritual Journey or Vision occurred. Even on the supposition of a miraculous bodily Journey, it is conceded that the body was almost transformed into spiritual fineness. The Hadith literature gives details of this Journey and its study helps to elucidate its meaning. The Holy Prophet was first transported to the Sublime Throne, and initiated into the spiritual mysteries of the human soul struggling in Space and Time. . . .The reference of this great mystic story of the Mi’raj is a fitting prelude to the journey of the human soul in its spiritual growth in life."

The www.muslim.org states that in "order for us to have a reasonable understanding of Islam and of Allah, it is important for us to have the right concept. Without the right or true concept of something or someone, it will be difficult for us to comprehend the true nature of that thing or person.In the case of Mi‘raj, putting aside logic and man-coined conclusions, let us refer to those close to our Holy Prophet and see what they have reported in support to the spiritual concept of the Mi‘raj.It is on record that one of the closest person to the Holy Prophet was Bibi Aisha, and she held the belief that the Holy Prophet's experience of Mi‘raj was in a vision, and not physical. (c.f. Tabari, Zamakshari and Ibn Kathir in their commentaries on 17:1). The actual phrase used that "he was transported only in spirit (bi ruhihi) while his body did not leave its place." . . .Again it

is written, "And he awoke and he was in the sacred mosque" (B:98:37). In another of Bukhari's Hadith, it is written, "whilst I was in a state between that of one sleeping and one awake" (Bukhari 59:6).These are just some of the authentic records which shows clearly that the Mi‘raj was a spiritual experience of the Holy Prophet, and was not a physical one.If for argument sake, we interpret the Mi‘raj as a physical journey of the Holy Prophet, let us examine some of the ramifications of such a notion.First and foremost, it will signal us that the Holy Prophet Muhammad was much more than a normal mortal being, something which he emphatically denied time and again. Many times he was questioned by his opponents that he was a true prophet of God, if so, then perform certain miracles and they would believe in him. His only reply was "I am an ordinary mortal just like yourself."Secondly, mounting a physical Buraq and riding to the

Heavens would defy the laws of nature. Holy Quran says, "there is no incongruity in the nature made by Allah.Thirdly, nothing physical can enter a spiritual domain. A physical Holy Prophet, together with a physical Buraq, cannot enter a spiritual abode such as the Heavens. (Holy Quran)" Thus Prophet Muhammad, through kundalini awakening, entered into the Kingdom of God (Sahasrara) within himself and met the messengers of God. Some SYs like Ed Saugstad and Raj would regard this as a supraconscious experience of a possessed man, probably the work of demons. i do not think Shri Mataji would agree with them.jagbir

"Now the only person, I think, Mohammed Sahib, is the one who have talked about Miraj -is the ascent through our Kundalini. Of course in India they did talked about it, but in any other country they didn’t say it so clearly that there is something called Miraj. And, not only that He talked of Miraj but also he talked of the Resurrection time when your hands will speak. Two things He said, first that your hands will speak when you will have your realisation. It's very great thing to say because that is how you can ascertain and you can be sure that you got your realisation. That’s the sign He gave, and the second thing He talked about Miraj and the white horse He said was nothing but the Kundalini, He didn’t used the word Kundalini but

He said it’s a white horse. So He is the one who knew what should happen to the people when they got their self realisation. That’s the great revelation to all of you and of such a help to Sahaja Yoga. You are all realised souls because you can feel the vibrations one thing, and secondly how you have become He explained it very clearly."Shri Mataji Nirmala DeviGuru Purnima 2002

" There are a number of legends about the early life of Mohammed,

founder of the religion of Islam.

 

It is said that just before Mohammed's birth his father, Abdula,

dreamt of his unborn son. He saw growing from his child's back a

tree, which climbed upward, and reaching its full height emitted a

light that spread around the world.

 

Most Muslims interpret the dream and its imagery symbolically. The

tree would of course represent the religion of Islam, supported by

Mohammed. The light is the wisdom of his teachings that have truly

been globally disseminated.

 

However we also know that the tree in Mohammed's back could be

the `tree of life' and is a common symbol in Middle Eastern

and Islamic culture. Carl Jung, after years of studying the language

of the unconscious, interpreted the tree of life as one of the

universal unconscious's synonyms for the Kundalini.

 

The Kundalini, said Jung, is a spiritual energy best documented by

(but by no means exclusive to) the yogis of India. It should not at

all be surprising, should we take an open-minded and closer look at

Islam, that as with the other great religions, we find a deeper,

more mystical and universal message: that of self realisation and

the mechanism by which it occurs — Kundalini awakening. Every

culture and religion has had individuals who have achieved a living,

spontaneous, direct experience of their religion. A dynamic,

suprahuman awareness that went beyond dogma and blind faith. The

Gnostics of Christianity, the Yogis of Hinduism, the Fang-Shi of Tao

and the Sufis of Islam all achieved these states and each have

spoken of experiences that, despite differences of appearance, are

strikingly similar in content.

 

Let us then look at Abdula's dream from a yogic perspective. We

can suggest that he actually saw the uniquely powerful Kundalini of

his son. The ascent of Mohammed's Kundalini was not simply of

individual importance to Mohammed but had global, even cosmic

significance. For the light, the divine energy of Mohammed's

Kundalini, was about to affect a spiritual and cultural revolution

in Arabia. Mohammed was the vessel through which the universal

unconscious, or `divine', or `God' was about to act.

 

As a child and young man Mohammed showed few signs of his prophetic

destiny. He was well known for his moral integrity and good

character but it was not until his forties that he became aware of

his true purpose. Through a series of transformative experiences

Mohammed was prepared for his divine role. These experiences

culminated in the amazing Meraj (or `Ascent').

 

The experience of the Meraj, like the rising kundalini that Abdula

had seen, would not only revolutionise Mohammed's awareness but

send out shock waves which resonated in the unconscious of all

Arabians and later, all the world.

 

Through the Meraj Mohammed realized the need for the establishment

of a new culture. He was to establish a creed that went beyond the

petty tribal boundaries, blood feuds and violent practices prevalent

at the time. To go beyond such ingrained behaviour patterns Mohammed

drew upon an awareness of superhuman proportions. He transcended the

limitations of the human mind and tapped into the universal

intelligence. His vision then became universal: to unite the peoples

of Arabia under a system of morality, justice and compassion. A

system that would serve as the foundation for one of the greatest

civilisations in recorded history.

 

The Meraj gave Mohammed the confidence, wisdom and superhuman energy

to attempt such a revolution.

 

In this visionary experience the angel Gabriel escorted Mohammed

from his humble quarters to the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem. There

the Buraq, a fantastic steed with the body of a horse, the head of a

woman and the wings of a bird, greeted him. She shone with dazzling

white brightness and her tremendous strength bore Mohammed up into

the cosmos through the various divine dimensions.

 

Gabriel escorted Mohammed on the Buraq through the seven heavens.

Each heaven had its own guardian angel and resident prophet who

ruled the dimension in accordance with God's laws. Mohammed bowed

to guardian angels who determined his readiness to enter into their

heaven, and then Mohammed respectfully paid homage to the reigning

prophet. The prophet in turn blessed Mohammed and ushered him on to

the next heaven and so on.

 

At the sixth heaven Gabriel brought Mohammed to the verge of the

seventh. The archangel said that he himself could go no further.

This, the seventh heaven, was the last frontier between god and man

and Mohammed was ushered into the place described as the abode of

God almighty.

 

Their Mohammed saw a beautiful, radiant tree with wondrous

multicolored leaves. It was here that he communed with God and

learned of his true purpose.

 

This beautiful and inspiring vision has motivated millions of

Muslims for more than a thousand years. Its significance becomes

even more universal when we examine it from the perspective of

kundalini awakening, using the symbolic language of the universal

unconscious.

 

The seven heavens through which Mohammed passed must of course

correspond to the seven chakras that exist within the human body.

Each chakra, say the yogis, is the abode of a special deity whose

character embodies the chakra's innate spiritual qualities. The

human chakra system is a microcosm for the entire Eastern pantheon

of gods, goddesses and heavenly beings. The prophets and angels that

Mohammed encountered in each heaven could well have been these same

inner deities that the yogis personally discovered through intense

meditation.

 

The seventh heaven or chakra is the `Crown Chakra' also

termed Sahasrara. Yogis have described it as the most important of

all the chakras for it represents the ultimate level of mystic

awareness.

 

Like all the chakras it has a specific number of petals (in this

case more than a thousand)|. Each chakra not only has a specific

number of petals but also a specific radiant colour. The

sahasrara's appearance however is said to contain all the colours

of the rainbow for it contains within it all the aspects (and hence

the colours) of the six other chakras below it.

 

Such ancient yogic descriptions of the sahasrara could logically

correspond to the resplendent and multicoloured sidrat which

Mohammed encountered in the 7th heaven.

 

The kundalini is a feminine energy often described as an `inner

goddess' or `mother energy'. Her ascent from the sacrum,

through the chakras located in the spinal cord, is the process of

self-realisation. When the kundalini arrives in the crown chakra

(sahasrara) the seeker experiences the complete transformation of

awareness. One is taken beyond the limits of the human mind into the

mystical states of meditation described by sufis and yogis alike.

 

In fact C.G. Jung described the kundalini as the `divine

feminine `or `God the mother'. Notably, Mohammed's

vehicle for his own ascent through the heavenly dimensions was the

lady-faced, dazzling buraq. The buraq could well be a feminine,

Arabic synonym for kundalini.

 

In conclusion Mohammed's ascent through the seven heavens was, in

fact, the ascent of the kundalini, taking his consciousness with it,

to divine union with the god almighty.

 

It is no coincidence that the entire Meraj is described to have

started and finished in an incredibly short period of time: While

sitting in his room Mohammad heard someone grasp the door handle and

the sound of the latch clicking was the last thing he heard before

Gabriel's appearance and the duo's departure on their

spiritual journey. Mohammed's return to mundane experience

restarts with the next few clicks of the same latch movement. In

other words the entire experience occurred in a sort of

`no-time'. This is not an unusual proposition since

meditation is a state of awareness created by the ascent of the

kundalini through the chakras. As it pierces the sixth chakra

(`third eye' or Agnya) and seventh, it takes the meditator

into the state of `thoughtless awareness' (Nirvichara

Samadhi) and beyond. This is a simple state where one experiences

true mental silence, beyond the normal mental awareness of

past/future, cause/effect.

 

The mind, as this editorial column has often discussed before, can

only deal with the dimension of past and future, cause and effect,

thought and memory. However, the state of meditation begins in

the `spaces between the thoughts'. This is the numinous

dimension where there is no passage of time but only a singular,

silent, eternal, thought-free and joyful experience.

 

It was from this dimension of awareness that Mohammed perceived the

divine vision of a universal culture and spirituality. Through his

meditative vision he learned of humanity's higher potential thus

his mystic perception of the universal spirit and its presence

within each of us became the template upon which he sought to

fashion a new society whose foundations lay not in issues of common

material interest but in the unique awareness of Self-Realization.

Mohammed was, in fact, laying the first building blocks for the

emergence of a spiritual civilization that may only now come into

fruition. " 1

 

Prophet Muhammad was at all times besides His wife when He

experienced this mystical journey (Meraj) to heaven. Kash made about

1300 such journeys to heaven. Prophet Muhammad made the journey

within. Kash also made these journeys within. Both reached the

mystical heaven within, the Sahasrara or Kingdom of God.

 

However, in no way is Kash (nor his brother or sister) compared or

elevated to Prophet Muhammad. Far from it. But there is a reason he

met Prophet Muhammad, a reason absolutely necessary to identify and

confirm what the Qur'an reveals about His Ruh Shri Mataji Nirmala

Devi and the announcement of Al-Qiyamah. These exacting pre-ordained

conditions beyond human manipulation form the phalanx of Sure Signs

that commences Al-Qiyamah. They are all proclaimed loudly and

clearly at http://www.al-qiyamah.org/ with numerous warnings that

the Resurrection has begun. Till date not even a single Muslim

has challenged a single page! How then will anyone stop the spread

of the Last Judgment and Al-Qiyamah after Shri Mataji leaves Earth?

 

Jai Shri Mataji

" Like Jesus, toward whom he felt great respect and kinship, Muhammad

experienced certain events that fit the profile of classic mystical

encounters. One in particular is still the source of dispute among

Islamic scholars. Around the year 619 or 620, according to

tradition, Muhammad had either an extraordinary vision or a

miraculous journey. Awakened one night by the Archangel Gabriel, he

was taken on a heavenly tour mounted on Buraq, a white winged

beast " between a mule and an ass, " from Mecca to Jerusalem,

with stops at Mount Sinai and Bethlehem. At the Temple in Jerusalem,

he prayed with Abraham, Moses, and Jesus before ascending a

celestial ladder of seven planes of being to the seventh heaven and

beyond, where he communed with the formless God, utterly dazzled by

this direct merging . . .

 

This voyage is known as the Night Journey (al-Isra) and the

Ascension (al-Miraj), and Muslim scholars still debate whether it

occurred miraculously in bodily form or took place on the astral or

spirit plane. Aisha later claimed that Muhammad was sleeping beside

her all night, and both versions have their supporters. The astral

theory has marked parallels to the mystical and out-of-body

experiences in other traditions, as well as to the ascension in

Christian and Gnostic literature. "

" PROPHET MOHAMMED'S `MERAJ' OR ASCENT AS PER THE HADITH

 

It has been mentioned in several places in the Quran and also in the

Hadith that there are seven heavens and that there are prophets who

reside in these heavens. The seventh heaven is the place of God

Almighty and is called `ARSH-E-MOHALA.' Bukhari, Muslim and

other recorders and compilers describe the Meraj of Prophet Muhammad

very beautifully in the Hadith.

 

It was said that " in a twinkling " Prophet Mohammed was taken

to Jerusalem (the Dome of the Rock) from Mecca by Angel Gabriel. It

was from there that Prophet Mohammed with Gabriel sitting on the

Buraq, ascended into the heavens. The Buraq has been quite

misunderstood by the Muslims. They believe it to be (a) dazzling

white horse with wings and the face of a women, but in fact it is the

`KUNDALINI' (the feminine power of God within all of us that

takes us through these heavens or Chakras, giving us our ascent or

Realization. . . .

 

In every heaven Prophet Muhammad met the other Prophets preceding

him. In the first heaven he met Adam, in the third heaven he met

Moses and when he reached the sixth heaven, Gabriel told Mohammed

that he must go alone from here to the seventh heaven.

 

In the seventh heaven, Prophet Mohammed met God Almighty. It was

here that he saw the `SIDRAT-UL-MUNTAHA.' This is the radiant

tree with beautiful colored leaves, each leaf having a different

color. This is called the SAHASRARA CHAKRA (the thousand petaled

lotus) in yoga. "
