Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaktipat http://www.llewellyn.com/journal/article/358 http://www.kundalini-teacher.com/initiations/shaktipat.php http://www.sacredspaceyogasanctuary.com/kunda.html I am fully aware that it all sounds very absurd, illogical, unscientific and questionable. I also know that many people have reported to have experienced it. Manny gurus like Osho, Mutananda, Nirmala Devi, Adi Da, Ganga Ji have been associated with it. Even Ramana has been said to emit Silent Peaceful Presence and Love... http://www.members.shaw.ca/abhishiktananda/Brunton.html Brunton repeats this idea of healing vibrations in his account of his second visit to Ramana later that year. Brunton speaks of " benign radiations " (Search, 279 ). And he says that one enjoys tranquility merely by sitting in his presence. There is a " reciprocal inter-influence " (Search, 280). He says, At first I wonder whether he has heard me, but in the tense silence which ensues, and which I feel unable or unwilling to break, a force greater than my rationalistic mind commences to awe me until it ends by overwhelming me. The realization forces itself through my wonderment that all my questions are moves in an endless game, the play of thoughts which possess no limit to their extent; that somewhere within me there is a well of certitude which can provide me with all the waters of truth I require; and that it will be better to cease my questioning and attempt to realize the tremendous potencies of my own spiritual nature. So I remain silent and wait. For almost half an hour the Maharishee's eyes continue to stare straight in front of him in a fixed, unmoving gaze. He appears to have forgotten me, but I am perfectly aware that the sublime realization which has suddenly fallen upon me is nothing else than a spreading ripple of telepathic radiation from this mysterious and imperturbable man (Search, 280). There is an " unseen power of the sage being powerfully impacted on my mentality " (Search, 293), " beneficent radiation which emanates from him " (Search, 300). And Brunton wants to link these telepathic radiations with science: I am learning to see that this is the Maharishee's way of helping others, this unobtrusive, silent and steady outpouring of healing vibrations into troubled souls, this mysterious telepathic process for which science will one day be required to account (Search, 290). In these emphases on radiating energy, Brunton seems to follow Humphreys' report from 1913. Humphreys also reported a first silent meeting with Ramana: For half an hour I looked Him in the eyes which never changed their expression of deep contemplation. I began to realize somewhat that the body is the Temple of the Holy Ghost–I could only feel His body was not the man, it was the instrument of God, merely a sitting motionless corpse from which God was radiating terrifically. My own sensations were indescribable (Glimpses, 15). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 [ I am not implying any agreement or disagreement with the author but, I find this article quite interesting.] http://www.realization.org/page/doc0/doc0008.htm .... According to him, the three kinds of enlightenment are: * witness-conciousness, * Brahma-awareness, and * awakened kundalini. .... The third kind of enlightenment, awakened kundalini, is the easiest to get, according to the author. All you have to do is receive shaktipat (initiation) from a guru whose kundalini is already active and *follow [the] instructions.* Once this happens, the chakras grow to their full strength automatically in about two years.

You can't prove what you have seen because you can't make blinds 'see'! Yet, you can't deny that you have 'seen' the light! That might have been condition of many after they met Ramana, Osho, JK and experienced their Shakti - the psychic energy. It is said that, this was the main reason why many traveled far to meet Ramana even though Ramana talked only a little and sometimes not a lot. > > > http://www.members.shaw.ca/abhishiktananda/Brunton.html > > > > > > I am learning to see that this is the Maharishee's way of helping others, this unobtrusive, silent and steady outpouring of healing vibrations into troubled souls, this mysterious telepathic process for which science will one day be required to account.
