Woman and the Kundalini and other historical reference

[Guest guest]

These ancient authors of the Rig Veda and other Veda's were Kundalini Awakened.

It is through these awakened men and women that the extremely ancient texts of

the early Aryans arose.

 

You may note that Kundalini awakened individuals will often communicate through

poetry. This becomes actual communication not entertainment! A language of

beauty and meter. The Rig Veda is written in this way. This is why these texts

are still not understood by the science based leaders in the field of ancient

documents. They cannot understand what the Kundalini Awakened understand.

 

To understand how far away from the truth of Kundalini humanity has wandered one

need only read or listen to Kundalini pundits disinherit the sacred feminine

from her awakening in the female. Many very popular and well respected Gurus and

Swamis from Muktananda to Osho support this position.

 

Here is a sample of what a Rishi is as pulled from some sources on the web.

These explanations except for the age of the texts feel truthful to me.

 

A Rishi denotes a poet-sage through whom the Vedic hymns flowed, credited also

as divine scribes.

 

(Rig Veda)

http://www.sacred-texts.com/hin/sv.htm

http://hinduism.about.com/cs/vedasvedanta/a/aa120103a_2.htm

 

According to post-Vedic tradition the rishi is a " seer " or " shaman " to whom the

Vedas were " originally revealed " through states of higher consciousness. The

rishis rose into prominence when Hinduism was in its early flowering, perhaps as

far back as " twelve thousand " years ago.

 

It is generally agreed upon that some of the very greatest of the ancient rishis

were in fact WOMEN. According to the Sarvanukramanika text, there were as many

as 20 WOMEN among the authors of the Rig Veda. A female rishi is known as a

rishika.

 

There is only one synonym for 'ri & #7779;i': satyavach & #257;h (one who speaks

truth). According to tradition, other sages might falter, but a ri & #7779;i was

believed to speak truth only, because she/he " existed in the Higher World "

according to the Sanskrit 'ri & #7779;i'.

 

" Seer " of the Vedas

 

In the Vedas, the word denotes an inspired poet of & #7770;ig Vedic hymns, who

alone or with others invokes the deities with poetry of a sacred character. In

particular, & #7770;i & #7779;hi refers to the authors of the hymns of the Rigveda.

 

Post-Vedic tradition regards the Rishis as " sages " or saints, constituting a

peculiar class of " DIVINE HUMAN BEINGS " in the early mythical system, as

distinct from Asuras, Devas and mortal men.

The word Rishi is derived from dhatu/root ru.Ru means to wander.Ancient Rishis

moved from one place to another.They never stayed at one place for more than

three days,This practice was adopted to impart the knowledge to different people

at various  places.Rishis were thinking for good of the people while

wandering.They had Ritambhara pradnya ie Truth bearing higher state of

consciousness.Satyam is relative truth but Ritam is Absolute truth,and is cosmic

order which includes all laws, natural,moral or of spiritual order.The knowledge

Rishis obtained from higher consciousness which was recited by them in form of

vedas..........shrikant
