Swami and the chakras-to Sal and Eric

Recommended Posts

Namaste: The other night in class, Swami responded to the question

about staying in the higher chakras and the effect on one's life.

I will try to paraphrase his words.

He said, " try to stay in the higher chakras as much as possible. To be

a sadhu, one stays in the higher chakras. While everyone is good for

something, a sadhu is good for nothing. {Swami is laughing}. If you

stay in the higher chakras, someone will come to help you complete

your tasks. Do not be afraid of staying in the higher chakras. "

 

It would be great if you could hear his exact words. His tone and

feeling was so positive and happy. So full of love.

 

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami

Peace to you, Vish!

 

You mean when I'm joyfully blissed and continually one with the

universe...someone will come help me clean my house and feed my

kids! Whoo hoo! Now, who would be afraid of living that? I bow

profusely to that wisdom and cannot wait to try it!

 

(laughing also with much love and joy!)

Namaste,

 

I liked the analogy of chakras being ripples in a pool

of water, and the Sahasrara being the bindu as in the

seven levels of the Shree Chakra corresponding to the

seven levels of the consciousness mapped by the

chakras. If focusing on the Ajna chakra gets someone

to help you with everything for you wow!!! Yes ! Why

fear the higher chakras! LOL! I still wonder why the

same thing wouldn't happen if you concentrated on one

of the lower chakras. Thirumoolar in the Thirumandirum

seems to think the lower chakras are an important part

of kundalini yoga along with the higher centers. I was

told that if one concentrates on the ajnam chakra

automatically one gets a polar response in

Swadisthanam chakra and vice versa. If one

concentrates on Muladhara one gets response in

Sahsrara and vice versa to some degree. and so

on..like the anode and cathode of an electromagnetic

circuit. If that is indeed true, perhaps there is a

certain effect generated from concentrating on the

higher chakras upon the lower chakras....like a

non-linear radio of divine consciousness communing

with individual ego consciousness. So Im starting to

see Swami's joyful wisdom in reccommending the higher

chakras. Krishna reccomends it in the Bhagavad Gita

also. Mahavatar Babaji polestar of Kriya Yoga also

reccomends the practice of keeping the mind in the

Kutastha, or the Ajna Chakra. Countless Yogis have

recommended the practice of Shambhavi mudra or

inverting the eyes into the back of the head to gaze

upwards at the Ajna or Sahasrara. Still Im well aware

when my mind gets flighty and forgets the importance

of being grounded in the day to day events of life and

LUM!!! Bija is often just the thing to get my earth

element going.

Hi Eric,

 

It's interesting...my experience is that muladhara is connected to

(strongly allied with) ajna, and svadhisthana is connected (strongly

allied with) bindu visargya (the moon at the back of the head - at the

place of the Hindu topknot), and with vishuddha. Does your experience

follow what you wrote from your source?

 

Jai Maa!

Chris

Namaste to you Sal: Yes, when you are joyfully blissed out sending

waves of joy throughout this universe, someone or something, will help

you do your housework and feed your children.

 

I watch Maa and Swami: they need something, and we help them fulfill

their desire, or, somehow they get exactly what they need. Time after

time. The universe responds to the needs of those working in a

higher vibration and gives them material substance and support. It is

a blast.

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami

Dear Vishweshwar, thank you so much for your attention to exploring

these questions, I have been reading along and learning, and it has

been very helpful for me, so I send you my gratitude!

 

Usually I am not watching the video classes from the Devi Mandir

because I don't have the technology at home to do so. But recently I

was at a location where I could, and for the first time I watched

Swamiji teaching. I was really blown away...well, my mind was blown

away and my heart was blessed. What a loving and magical being he

is, so joyful. Thank you Swamiji for all of these teachings.

 

So, reading this post about the chakras, I am imagining that a lot of

this intriguing answer is delivered, as you said, through his tone of

voice and presentation of Self. Further, understanding is a little

lost for me because I don't identify with the word 'sadhu'.

 

Here are my questions: if you were to universalize the concept behind

the word 'sadhu', would it simply be 'lover of Divine Mother', or

something else?

 

And further, I am trying to imagine how it would be to go through my

daily life, attending to work, family, neighbors, community,

etc., " from the higher chakras " in a fully mindful and present

manner. I imagine that this would mean that I am attending to the

world as it is presented to me from the most heartfelt and Divine

place that I can access in any given moment, that the Divine within

me is greeting and loving the Divine within all others, through my

being. And that if my attention is an offering in every moment,

Mother will send help, in many forms, to ensure that this is a

blessing for all.

 

Am I missing anything?

 

Thank you , Jennifer
