A Question

Dear Friends

I have a strange question which I feel is

almost like " banned " in pure spirituality circles.

But,I must ask,because it is troubling me for days.

Question, in short, is " How does

Ramakrishna-Vivekananda philosophy views things like

aura healing,past life regression,para psychology

etc? "

 

I have been a follower of Vivekananda for past many

years and am still. But,I heard that after Swami

Abhedananda started taking much interest in these

fields,he was highly discouraged leading ultimately to

his founding a separate Ashram by himself. I have been

to that ashram once in Kolkata.

 

Now,it so happened that I saw an article in a local

daily on two aura healers in Bangalore. Suddenly,if

you may allow to put it this way, devil took over me,

and I started enquiring about them through mails and

all. This is a thing,I strictly forbade myself to do

all these years with the feeling that the hero my

life, Vivekananda, probably never liked that. Inspite

of that,I went ahead this time and would like to share

some experiences with you all.

 

I met two people,one Tarun and one

Rashmi.(Rashmi,I met yesterday only). Tarun taught me

the basics of aura healing,how to do that etc etc.

Rashmi,yesterday,told about her company which she says

is the only company in the world today which deals

exclusively on this. Now,the strangest thing I heard

from rashmi yesterday,were these:

1)She can delve into me and know about my past lives

as well as my future

2)Seeing my Aura and my past lives, she would know

what are my problems at the level of physiology and

mind and she can solve them using the techniques of

aura healings,in a few sessions. At the level of

physiology,she claims she can cure migraine easily as

well as many other deseases. At the level of mind,she

can know where are the energy knots and solve them.

Thus,years of problems,like getting fear,wild

dreams,inertness etc etc can all be solved very

quickly.

3)When I asked her that the traditional yogic methods

never promise such fast healings and that it may take

several births as well to solve those problems, she

claims that these she can solve in just a few

sessions.

 

 

So,now there I am, confused to an extent. Should I

give it a try or not? Can it spoil me? The years of

Japam,meditation that I have been doing following Sri

Ramakrishna,Vivekananda as my ideals,the known/unknown

benefits that I accrued slowly,can they might just

vanish/corroded by Rashmi? Must I have that legendary

patience to go ahead in this spirituality which once

Narada advised a saint? Is really there no short cut?

Then,how is it that Art of Living's Ravi Shankar's

disciples claim that by just inhaling and exhaling out

using a particular method(sudarshan kriya),one can

have fast and efefctive solutions to his problems? I

hardly hear his disciples ever talking so passionately

about celibacy,pratyahara,disattachment,vivek,variagya

as we hear from any serious disciple of

Ramakrishna,Vivekananda and other traditional Yogic

schools. Then,how come,today in Bangalore,lakhs and

lakhs of people from all over the world have gathered

together to do sudarshan kriya? Or is it that the long

methods are passe and now we have these short

cuts,which doest not require my life to be a yoga but

just a few hours of doing this or that and in a few

months or years, all my problems gone!! I am confused.
