Among many branches of Hinduism, it is in Tamil Saivism that we can find kundalini explained to realise God. However, this was practised secretly and was handed over only to a handful of people. On the way, it also got corrupted due to misguided sexual practices. It also got corrupted by those who misinterpreted Saivaite scriptures using their knowledge of Tamil taught in the universities. Therefore, hardly any worthwhile interpretation is available now. In some cases, even the Tamil original has been corrupted by insertions and modifications. However, the most authentic source for kundalini yoga/Saivism is Tirumantiram by Sage Tirumular. This original too has got corrupted by insertions and modifications. Sage Tirumular is said to be living even now in the causal plane. That is, the world corresponding our bliss sheath. About 75 years ago, a great soul was born in USA. He became a Hindu and a disciple of Satguru Siva Yogaswami of Sri Lanka Satguru Siva Yogaswami is said to have come in the lineage of Sage Tirumular. This American gentleman came later to be known as Satguru Sivaya Subramuniya Swami. By the Grace of Siva, He attained Self-Realisation through Kundalini Yoga and Saivism. He formed His own monastery in Kauai, Hawaii, USA. He attained Mahasamadhi recently and His disciple Bodhinatha Swami is now the Satguru. Satguru Sivaya Subramuniya Swami has written a scriptural masterpiece called 'Merging with Siva'. The information below was written from the digested material of Merging with Siva. The text can be purchased through the website 'www.gurudeva.org' (About 40$ plus postage) Believe me! There may not be anything comparable to 'Merging with Siva' on Kundalini Yoga! Unparallelled glory of an exposition by a Supreme Master! > > Body-consciousness is the root thought And, this one is from 2nd Charanam of Aanma Viddhaik Kirtanam in Tamil by Bhagawan Sri Ramana Maharshi Thanks and kind regards RK Shankar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
