Spiritual Experiences

[Guest guest]

Dear Lalit, Thanks for your kind words of appreciation. This incident certainly proves that you are 'on the right track as of now'(to paraphrase your words) Keep up your GOOD WORK Regards, aavesh litsol <litsol wrote: Resp. Aavesh Ji,Namaskaar, I wish to express my gratitude towards u, You are a real spiritual person and this reflects in ur posts, You are above all sort of limitations like region, language and age.Last month in a personal mail PV Narsimha, already said to me that "Lalit, there are vey nice souls in the world and I see them getting connected in near future and getting strength".PVR is a rare person with deep knowledge of astrology as well as sprituality.I used hard words, but how i acknowedged myself, i think i should tell u, last saturday, I had to catch my train scheduled at 4:10 PM.I was busy in my work and i could finish my work by 4:10 only, the railway station is around 7 - 8 KM away from my place, I hired a three wheeler and along with my parents started for railways station at 4:15. My father asked me what's the use going to railway

station we already the departure time is over.I asked the God, this sort of delays indicate, I m doing something wrong, So, If i m wrong, I shold not get the train but If i m right in my approach, stop the train till i dont reach the station. Iwanted to check myself.we rached around 4:45 PM in the railway station, The train was there on the track getting late, we not only boarded the train got relaxed also and then it started for the destination.This way, I got a new lease of confidence that i m not wrong as of now.regards,Lalit.Vedic Astrologyandhealing , aavesh t wrote:>> Dear RkDa,> > Thanks for appreciating my viewpoint.> > Please go ahead and voice your thoughts and we can take it from there (maybe the group members will also contribute to this discussion)> > Regards,>

Unlikely. > > The misunderstanding thing in you mail is actually under-understanding. One attains over-understanding of one parampara and moves on (even above) to another. One may even be astride two (at least two) vehicles. So, it is not as if one is 'hinayaan' and the other is a 'mahayaan' -- or whatever is under-understood is 'vajrajaan'! > > Paths meander and

enmesh in mind-boggling ways. Show me a road that does meet or cuts thru another. Rarely will you find one going from one hut to another. (The hermitage is gone in age of interrnet mart. Don't despair as you have done in a later mail. Watch.) > > But mind needn't boggle. If it does for long, it's signal it is time you grabbed hold of a walker's feet. (What say, Lalit?) Dattatreya was a jnanavataar of Shiva. A purnavataar as far as jnana is concerned, not purnavataar per se though. > > Now shall we say: each his own; or Aavesh, a rolling stone?

The incidental distinction I touched upon was between esoteric path(s) and non-esoteric ones. Not between dakshina and vaama. Where would you put the nocturnal court which the levitating Lahiri Mahasaya held, with fairies hovering above him and

which was espied by his wife, or for that matter the session at the ghats of Benaras where Yogavatar, Mahavatar and the latter's sister met nightly? These were all yogis -- rajyogi of the highest order in modern times. You would agree that that was esoteric. Even kaulachaar should be requiring the adherent to keep his own counsel. When Yogananda does that (when he writes the autobiography), he shares his life experiences to the high end of edification of mankind. And that is after he has GONE THROUGH it all, much as a tathagata. Which is in order, not needing any defending. > > The Aghora parampara marks out its boundary with 'prapancha' differently. That should explain the comparison and contrast and contest (the 'spardha') among certain adherents. Mark my use of the word 'prapancha'. > > You have hardly confuted my account. > > I have been using bold letters for words which

significantly qualify what I say, please note, here as also earlier. > > RK> > On 19/12/2007, aavesh t wrote: Namaskar AarkayDa and Lalit,> > Sorry for intervening in your private discussions.> > A couple of points:> > (i)The debate whether one should reveal one's Siddhis has been there since time immemorial > > (ii)As Aarkayji has pointed out in his poetic language (which goes over my head many a time) that the Dakshinmargi school of thought believes in keeping one's Siddhis to oneself > > (iii)Vama Marga has the other approach.Here spiritual aspirants openly challenge each other and often there are duels to prove one's Siddhis.The much blamed and criticised Agohoris being part of this school of thought > > (iv)Ultimately,it comes down to the individual and his relation with his Ishta (Personally speaking though

I have always beleieved in Swami Yukteshwar Giri's approach.

It cuts down introversion. The inward journey peters out. Some exoteric paths seem not to discourage it. Another matter. But Satsang is another ball game. Guidence is sought in confidence. Much like public display emotion (for some) is a no-no. In extreme esoteric paths, it is a game of

dice -- often. There stakes are high. The higher they are, the more circumspect the seeker must be, or the world would come down on him. It (the world) can be nice slaughter house. > > Two, much of 'That' is ineffable -- anirvachaniya.
