Guest guest Posted September 21, 2004 Report Share Posted September 21, 2004 1) Now, I had a few questioned based on the actual way of life of a sahaja yogi/yogini, since I read a lot of what was on " http://www.sahajvidya.freeuk.com/SahajVidya_Preface.htm " and there seems to be a lot of talk about being mindful of how you dress, how you have your hair (as not to have it disheveled and/or in your face/ not coloring it etc) and to not lead a life of extremes or be in the forefront unless there is something to be done. I wanted to know what is considered extremism specifically, and what really constitutes a sahaja yogi way of life aside from the way he conducts himself in his dealings and thinking. Also, I was curious as to the stand point of sahaja with regard to tattoos (and a lot of them) that ARE NOT ugly or distasteful, but works of art with beauty. IS that considered extremism? I just wanted a better description of what living an extreme life in the eyes of sahaja is and what is the best way to act, dress, etc when leading a dharmic/sahaja way of life based on your experience and any talks or information you have heard being spoken on those subjects by the adi shakti. 2) Secondly, I was curious why more yogi's do not proclaim the true meaning of sahaja yoga and moreover the whole point and mission behind its practice and spreading it. I read something regarding this in your FAQ section and its true, most all the pages I have seen and read online by yogis, official and unofficial, have been promoting it as simply a relaxation technique that balances the chakras and that was founded by Sri Mataji and that is all. Why are more people, especially the yogi's who know the truth, not proclaiming that this yoga is to benefit mankind, bring them into the kingdom of god on earth, and that this is the last judgment and a sure fire way for each person, with dedication, to reach his ascent? **Also on the same token, why is it not talked about all that much the fact that although self realization is spontaneous, nourishing it, bringing yourself as deep as you can go and surrendering to the spirit fully to gain our ascent requires quite a lot of effort on a daily basis, and quite a lot of EGO sacrifice (which is really not a sacrifice at all) on our parts, and isn't just something that happens on its own? IF you could please write me back in detail with your thoughts on these matters when you have some time, I would be very grateful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
