Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 I have been wanting to send a note to all who have recently accepted chrism as a teacher and to those who have renewed their student visa. I remember how I came to know the term Kundalini two years ago. I had never heard of it and while in Ireland visiting a friend she was telling me how she and her husband were going to Tantra sessions and how it had changed their life. I had always wanted to learn more about Tantra and had hoped it would be with a partner - however when I went to find info in my area I came across a group on the east coast Ft. Lauderdale who worked with Breathe of Fire - I did not know this was part of the Kundalini Yoga program. So I went to a session - was so uncomfortable with the folks there- it was way too familiar and personal for me - yet there was a drawl that I felt - so I continued to search on the internet and I came across a few sites that offered classes and there always was a charge and then I came across the word Kundalini - it kept popping up. I clicked on the KAS site and sent a note to chrism. I still have that email and his response. I asked if he had any teachers in the area of Florida. No he said - why not keep looking for someone - For some reason I sent a note back and told him I knew what I needed - he accepted me as a student and when I signed on the dotted line my journey took on a new intensity. So much has occurred in the past two years- for me it has been very difficult to settle into a practice since I had no experience with one - there have been ups and downs - losses and gains- forward and backward motion - moving all over the country - meeting other K active folks on their journey - trying to surrender my huge huge ego and allowing Shakti to guide me and take care of me- and feeling like I have made no progress yet Through it all there has been chrism and his protocols - chrism is the embodiment of my Kundalini Shakti - he stands before me showing me the possibility of who I am. Through it all I knew one thing with certainty - I found my purpose I found my path and that path is to support and honor my guide and to support the program he has been guided to present. I have never been a follower- I have always been the instigator the one who had the ideas the one who took the lead and got the job done and was willing to take risks. I feel I lost some of that edge when K arrived. Yet I knew that no matter what else occurred I was to stay on course with chrism and work with him in any way that I was able. I am still here and still have the strong desire to give all I can to support my guide and the program. It has not been easy - Yet I know there is a new me emerging - I know that I will come out stronger than I was and I know I will spend my remaining years doing all I can to follow my guidance to support my guide and the program. I see signs of the same feelings in others. The same calling - the surrendering of self for the Kundalini. I still question - I still doubt - I still ask what the H---am I doing here? And yet I am still here. There is a plan for me - there is a plan for all of you- we all will follow our path and stop along the way in different places - have different experiences - have different questions and perhaps receive different answers - yet we are all here now and we are all part of the Kundalini ashram guided by chrism. We are all here to support and offer service to each other and to our guide and the program. I have a long road ahead of me - I am far from where I feel I am to go and yet - I am still here- you are still here - we are still here together. I want to thank each and every one of you for having the courage to follow your guidance - to take the risk of surrendering to a guide- for sharing openly and fully with the community. There is a beautiful strength here on this site and in this community. We are a unique set of energies - we carry with us eons of energy from our ancestors and we are the beacons for the energies around us. I am honored to have found a guide that I can trust and respect. I am honored to have found a community that I can trust and respect. And I am honored to have found you each and every one that I can trust and respect. Welcome to your Kundalini ashram- welcome home... e Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I never loved God but feared him.During my childhood I used to see my father who used to pray before going for his job.He used to pray before photos of Lord Rama,Krishna,Shiva,Hanuman etc.I was frightened of Kali mata,her tongue and her neckless.I was told they are devas.My father was in Indian Army along with his 5 brothers who were active in 2nd world war.Thus he was strict.He kicked me,slapped me if I told lies or robbed his money or did not study.My mother told me Ramayana stories.At age of 12 I read scriptures Ramayana and Mahabharat.At age of 33 I had fight with a shop keeper while I was drunk.Next day one of my friends asked me to read puranas ie few sacred scriptures.When I was 39 in the year 1990 my boss adviced me to read Chit Shakti Vilas by swami muktanad.I used to recite 1000 names of Lord Duttatreya (Trinity).I started feeling vibrations in my root chakraand my kundalini was activated accidently. In 1987 my wife was ill.I started taking God seriously, but my bad habits such as drinking,smoking etc caused lot of suffering for me.My feelings were amplified.I did not know what to do.I had similar horrid experiences when Kundalini is activated accidently.I went places to find a spiritual teacher but in vain.In 2001 my sister taught me meditation.In period of 1 year my chakras were cleansed,Kundalini moved to sahastrar (crown chakra).I feel I have had Self realization of God on 4th Dec 2001.Yet I am here as student of because I know he is senior to me in this path.He will solve my difficulties if I have.There may be Kundalini Gurus or teachers in India but I did not meet them.To meet Chrism was perhaps my destiny.I like him so I am here not for activation but for knowledge and new experinces......................shrikant ________________________________ .

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 . This is so lovely; the expression flows and is spoken from such a deep place of truth. I love the parallels, overlaps, and yet very special individual paths we all seemingly have with one another. It's so beautiful to hear of a person's journey. (Ah yes Journey-the favourite band of my childhood... " Don't stop believing; hold on to that feeling. " ) Thank you for assisting in charting the course and clearing the path for all of us here. Thank you for this beautiful homecoming welcome. -Danielle , " " . wrote: >> > Welcome to your Kundalini ashram- welcome home... > e > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 Dear Shrikant, The first words of your post struck a chord with me, and I'd like to comment on them.
