Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Namaste: Last night in Kali puja class, 9-5-07, Swami talked again about chanting mantras for chakras and the desired result: understanding, feeling, and knowing how to move and direct the Divine shakti /energy throughout the chakras, and into other objects of worship. On 9-5-07, Swami demonstrated how to MOVE one's energy and put it into objects of worship. For example, as part of the puja, one puts all one's negative impulses into a gourd, then, with the proper mantras, cuts the gourd with a knife, sacrificing the impulses of one's lower chakras, one's lower animalistic nature, to Kali and the Divine Fire. These practices teach us how to purify, strengthen, and ultimately, become in tune with the higher vibrations of God. By forsaking our lower vibrations, and consciously practicing raising our energy to the higher chakras, we understand the difference between low and high, and, when we are in the lower chakras, we will be less likely to " act out " of the lower vibration, and create more negative karma for ourselves. As Swami explains, when the impulse to respond to a negative stimulus in a negative fashion, arises in us, we will have the presence of mind, the UNDERSTANDING, of our own energy, to pause prior to responding, and in that pause, allow the heat of our lower nature to subside, and then we can respond in a manner which does not inflame the situation. We can stop creating more negative karma for ourselves. Thus, we see again that the lessons we learn in puja, have direct bearing on our ability to live a God Centered life, vs., one less evolved. And isn't that why were are here in the first place? Please take the time to listen to these 2 classes on-line at www.shreemaa.org. This is such powerful and useful information. It will change our lives. Jai Ma Jai Swami vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Namaste Vish:Last night we had a lesson on Tantric offerings to the goddess Kali. We were taught how to sanctify all the offerings, and we were taught the purpose of each.I was under the idea that the idea behind Tantrism was not to deny one's animal nature, but to place it in balance with our higher nature. We still need to survive for example, but we can balance that need by learning to survive in a more meaningful way.Peace,Shankari Kaliinspectionconnection108 <inspectionconnection108 wrote: Namaste: Last night in Kali puja class, 9-5-07, Swami talked again about chanting mantras for chakras and the desired result: understanding, feeling, and knowing how to move and direct the Divine shakti /energy throughout the chakras, and into other objects of worship.
