The quest for our spiritual self is primordial urge of life. Discovery of our pure self is the true essence of life and our greatest achievement.
Self knowledge, vision of God, nirvana, enlightenment, awakening, attaining the kingdom of heaven, merging of individual soul with the cosmic soul, should be the supreme goal of the life. All other goals are just subordinated to this prime goal.
According to different traditions, cultures and religions there are many tools and techniques practised for self realization. All serves the same purpose and therefore unified with each other. Some techniques are regularising of breathing patterns, chanting specific mantra, using psychic symbols, mediation on specific deity or on guardian soul, keeping devotional attitude and kundalini yoga etc.
Kundalini or serpent power is the dormant spiritual potentiality of man located in the Root chakra or Mooladhar chakra. The power is mystical energy in man.
Spiritual progress described in terms of rousing up of the kundalini energy and elevating along the spinal channel of Sushumna, through five centre of psychic consciousness like Swadisthana, Manipur, Anahata, Visudhi and Ajna.
Ultimately it reaches the crown or Sahastrara chakra. Here the individual consciousness merges with the cosmic consciousness.
As the kundalini ascends the man gains higher and advanced mystical experiences.
A Guru is the One who dispels the darkness of spiritual ignorance in humanity and bestows upon them mystical experiences and spiritual knowledge. A true Guru is illuminated by the light of true knowledge. He is a beacon of spiritual light in our world, and teaches us the universal spiritual principles that underlie all religions and cultures
A guru is the mediator; he brings man and god together. So in trying to reach the self realised state of consciousness one must follow the advice and guidance of divine illuminated guru, who knows the way to God.
If a seeker is in right earnest to learn the mysteries of supreme Brahm, he will send you the Sadguru or right teacher. Only the guru is capable of realizing the existence of God.
A siddha mantra is one which one has been invested with the spiritual power of the true guru. In the process of shaktipaat the Guru raises his own kundalini to Sahastrara chakra [crown chakra] then repeats the mantra, giving it the highest spiritual energy and then invest it upon the aspirant and initiate him on the path of kundalini yoga.
Initiation is that process by which the powerful siddha mantra is conferred upon the worthy aspirant by his guru, and the disciple's kundalini is suddenly awakened from slumber by the striking hit of the mantra.
Only the mantra which is received from a Sadguru will release its power. The Guru awakes the mantra in the breath and opens the mystical path of Sushumna Nadi. The whole body of the aspirant is charged .Chanting mantra awakes the Sushumna and permeates each and every cell of the body. When Sushumna begins to vibrate self realization becomes active, the Ida and Pingla nadis get automatically balanced. The psychic toxins and blocks in the energy channels are removed and subsequently the symbolic elimination of karma takes place.
Brahmanada or Divine sound is a very simple mediation technique which can be utilized by almost all spiritual aspirants for their inward journey from gross to subtle, from psychic to casual and from external to integral.
There are many methods of meditation. Meditation with the Divine Sound is an easy method.
Divine sound raises the consciousness of the individual from various chakras and eventually awakes the kundalini Shakti.
The vibration of divine sound stimulates the nerve, plexus and endocrine glands of body and integrates bogy-mind-soul trinity.
When the mind is absorbed in the Divine Sound, it seems to slow down and become peaceful.
Most mediators report feelings of ecstasy, bliss and utmost peace when they meditate with the Divine Sound
