Thank you James for sharing the poetry. Your post reminded me of Amritsar (in

India), the city of Golden Temple and

a city of saints, where I spent much time as a child. Amritsar is the city of

birth for Sikhism. Guru Nanak was the

first Sikh Guru. His father was a merchant. One day he asked the boy Nanak to

sit in the store, while he did some

errands. When he came back he saw that Nanak was giving away the merchandise

free to the poor people. Naturally his

father was not happy. Nanak was a great saint. Once he was sleeping with his

feet towards the temple and the priest

came out and shouted to him. "How dare you sleep with your feet pointed towards

God!" Guru Nanak opened his eyes

and gave a beautiful response, "Sir, please point my feet to where God is not!"

It is said that no matter which

direction the priest changed Guru Nanak's feet towards, there he saw the temple.

 

Surat Shabad Yoga is a great practice. In classical yoga, it is known as Nada

Yoga. It leads to Laya or absorption.

Inner Light and Inner Sound are both manifestations of Kundalini Shakti. With

sound, typically, the practice

involves listening to the sound in the Right ear. This is why sometimes Buddha

(and other Yogis) as well are seen

lying on their right side. When the arm is under the right side, the sound is

easily heard by those who are

sensitive. The hearing of the sound indicates a predisposition to awakening of

Shakti. If one practices certain

types of Pranyama, one can constantly hear the inner sound during waking

consciousness.

 

I would like to invite you James and others to join as well. It

is a Joyous and diverse Fellowship

where there are many Kundalini adepts and nondual sages with much experience and

kindness to share. The

conversations are usually in the context of mutual respect, understanding, and

love. And if they are not, we make

it so! :--). Just kidding. We are pretty open.

 

I will forward this post to as well.

Love you all.

 

Harsha
