Guest guest Posted September 27, 2004 Report Share Posted September 27, 2004 reading your website i came across something in regards to all the heavenly hosts and dieties meditating the exact same way sahaja yogi's meditate . I was wondering why i haven't heard any references to meditation at all, much less of this sort in various religons holy books? IS this something just brought to the earthly realm in 1970, or has this technique been around for far longer? I'm assuming since Buddhism was based on the teachings of meditation by buddha (excuse my ignorance if i am wrong),then so would the style of meditation practiced by buddhist monks. IF that is the case and buddha was observed meditating like a sahaja yoga in the kingdom of God within, then why do the buddhist monks not practice in the same fashion and probably know very little about kundalini awakening or anything taught in sahaja yoga? Thanks Frances Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intuition of this ultimate truth destroys all attachment and it shines through the darkness of attachment like a full moon in the night. Sahaja cannot be heard with the ears, neither can it be seen with the eyes; It is not affected by air nor burnt by fire; It is not wet in intense rain, it neither increases nor decreases, It neither exists nor does it die out with the decay of the body; The Sahaja bliss is only oneness of emotions – it is oneness in all. Our mind and the vital wind are unsteady like the horse; But in the Sahaja-nature both of them remain steady. When the mind thus ceases to function and all other ties are torn aside, All the differences in the nature of things vanish; and at that time there is neither the Brahman nor the Sudra. Sahaja cannot be realized in any of its particular aspects – it is an intuition of the whole, the one underlying reality pervading and permeating all diversity. As the truth of the lotus can never be found either in the stalk or in the leaves, or in the petals or in the smell of the lotus, or in the filament, - it lies rather in the totality of all these parts, - so also Sahaja is the totality which can only be realized in a perfectly non-dual state of mind. From it originate all, in it all merge again, - but it itself is free from all existence and non-existence – it never originates at all. (Saraha, 8th century Buddhist, eastern India) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
