SHAKTIPAT DIKSA - RAMA TO HANUMAN

Shaktipat Initiation is in the tradition of the Siddha Sastra. Shaktipat is a transfer of energy or prana or chi. It is given in degrees of intensity, depanding on each students ability to hold light within thair chakras. It may be given through a touch on the crown (sahasrara chakra), 3rd eye (ajna chakra), heart (anahata chakra)  or through eye contact and even through dreams or visions on the etheric plane. This is how it is given at a physical distance. Shaktipat is a transforming, healing light of the Divine Spirit which is given directly through the Guru to the student or devotee. The purpose of the Shaktipat is to uplift the disciple to a more awakened spiritual state. A few decades ago, I received my shaktipat from my Guru (Luang Pu Suang - the 500 years old Siddha) where I carried on his lineage up to this day.

LUANG PU SUANG - THE LEGENDARY 500 YEARS OLD SIDDHA YOGI

The ancient tradition in the Sanatana Dharma for the Shaktipat initiation is called Diksa in Hinduism. It is a transfer of energy ("Prana" in Sanskirt and "Chi" in Chinese from the Guru to the disciple for the way of remembrance of the inner true Self in this world of delusion.

Spiritual awakening or Shaktipat is an important part of the mystical journey. This transfer of Prana (Chi) from the spiritual power is called Kundalini Shakti. Shakti is described by the yogic texts as an initiation that activates an inner unfolding of awareness that leads to progressively higher states of consciousness.

Through the Seeker's persistence and practice, the sense of separation from the Divine within drops away. God/Goddess is witnessed in the inner Self, in others and in all life. This world becomes a play of the Universal's energy.

Sanatana Dharma; the ancient tradition of the Forests' Masters is referred to as Siddha Sastra and involves a daily life practice. Yogic training and direct initiation from a Living Guru is necessary for most students to advance on the spiritual path quickly. The Shaktipat initiation brings peace and bliss for the student. The Guru continues to guide them through the more advanced stages of the practice. The goal is Self-Realization (Nibbana) with the Cosmic.

The student practices Yogic disciplines and also studies various subjects such as: Siddha Meditation, Sacred Chants, Kartha/Mantra, Yantra, Sacred Symbols,Art, Wicha (Sacred Magic), Saiyasart (Occult Science) and Dream Interpretation. The student practices meditation-in-action during daily activities to focus on the heart, head and hand on the Divine Guru. The student studies spiritual scripture to gain knowledge. The student experiences purification of the sacred energies in the 7 chakras. The student develops an intense devotion to the Guru.

Through the dispensation of light and grace from Deva (God/Goddess) and the lineage of the Guru, it is a great opportunity to receive direct initiation through a Personal Guru in physical embodiment. The Guru is able to assist the student with their spiritual progress with proper instruction, initiation and holding back their karma until they are able to attained Self- Realization (Nibbana). The Guru may take on a certain portion of the student's karma. The Guru may take on the world karma for the healing of the planet (mother earth).

The student's true Self is reflected like a mirror in the Guru. In this way, spiritual progress and rapid enlightenment (nibbana) unfolds for the student. The living Shaktipat Guru's presence awakens the Student's Shakti Energy (Kundalini Serpent Power) in the base of their spine (muladhara chakra) and keeps it active and progressing upwards towards the Shiva energy located at the top/crown of their head (Sahasrara Chakra).

After the student has received the Skatipat initiation from a Living Shaktipat Guru he/she should maintain a close relationship with the Shaktipat Guru in order to spiritually progress quickly and maintain balance. The student should continue practicing the sacred instructions as taught by the Guru where spontaneous unblocking will occur in the flow of energy; vital force (prana/chi) in the subtle nerve channels (nadis) and the wheels of energy (chakras).

The student/disciple will experience healing in the mind and body and have more energy. The student will experience the opening of the third eye (Ajna Chakra) and enter into deep states of  bliss and tranquility in meditation. The student must continue practicing the sacred techniques and meditation. Through the student's own effort and devotion to the Guru together to the Deva (God/Goddess), Self-Realization is experienced. The Shatipat Guru Path of devotion to Deva (God/Goddess) is the fastest way to attained Nibbana (in Pali) Englightenment.

The Guru is one with the Deva (God/Goddess) and reflects the will of God/Goddess for the student. From the Siddha Sastra's "Sharp as razors edge and difficult to tread is the path to Self-Realization" Upholding the teachings of the Guru will lead you to Enlightenment (Nibbana in Pali), in Hindu is called "Moksa"

Shaktipat Initiation is received through gentle touch to the crown chakra and the 3rd Eye; increasing the Prana (Chi) in spine which heats up and activates the Shakti Kundalini energy at the base of the spine. The initiation is effective in opening of the 3rd Eye for an increase in Intuition, Clairavoyance and inner focusing on the Spiritual Eye. Shaktipat assists in raising the Kundalini energy from the base of the spine. Shatipat assits in healing blockages in the chakras.

Kundalini can also be awakened even through the power of previous incarnations; Samskaras and Vasanas. There can be a spontaneous awakening of the Kundalini, though it is rare. It's helpful to discuss the experience with the Guru in order to have a better understanding of it. The Guru will provide the student with personal guidance in how to remain balanced and benefit from the experience.

INVISIBLE CHAKRAS IN THE HUMAN BODY

Until the student has progressed significantly, the Kundalini energy will remain dormant, coiled at the base of the spine. The Awakening of the Kundalini is the outcome of attaining a state of very high purity in One's Life and a deep realization of the Inner True Self. Kundalini awakening has occured throughout history for people regardless of their religion or race . Depending on the people's previous incarnations and devotion, the Awakening of the Kundalini is accroding to the Grace of the Guru and through the Grace of Deva (God/Goddess).

POWER OF MANTRAS (KATHAS)

POWER OF MANTRAS (KATHAS)

                                                                            

 

Throughout our history, cultures believed in the sacred power of mantras (kathas - generally used in South East Asia such as Thailand, Cambodia, Burma) and have believed that uttering certain mantras (kathas), one could control the external world or even control the unseen forces. There is real power in the repetition of a mantra (katha) as a form of meditation. The power of mantra (katha) repetition can quieten the mind, provide a refuge in trying or difficult times and can help you in developing, fearlessness. Repetition and concentration are the vital keys in achieving mantra (katha) siddhi or fructiification of the mantra (katha), gaining immense psychic power? What is Mantra (Katha)? The word "man" means the mind, "tra" means deliverance. Sound vibrations that delivers the mind is called mantra (katha). If the mind can be quieten the same mind becomes a servant, if not it becomes our Master and hence, dictates according to its Will. The mind absorbs the conditions of ourselves and the conditions surrounding us.

Power of mantras (kathas) depends on the surroundings and also with the chanter's concentrated mind. Chanting near the sea or river, the power of the mantras (kathas) are about 10 times more than in the house. Chanting on a mountain it has about 100 folds power. Chanting inside a temple, the mantra (katha) vibrations get amplified about a thousand folds. Mantras (Kathas) are like sound transmitters into the universe. It attracts a particular deity (demi-god or even monk/asectic) vibrating at a certain spiritual dimension/speed. When we chant "Om Vinayaka" it attracts the vibrations surrounding the deity of Ganesha. Like the power of magnet attracting a particular metal so does the power of mantras (kathas) attracts a certain principle deity or lersi or monk. Spending a few hours chanting mantras (kathas) may be boring but it can have a remarkable effect. Power of the mantras (kathas) work on the brain in a particular way to elevate us to a spiritually altered state. First it changes our thoughts' patterns, then it starts sending the vibrations to the universe.

Everything in nature is in motion or in vibration. Our ancients masters, the Lersi, Siddhas and Rishis had grasped intuitively what modern science has only managed to confirmed in this century, namely that all creations is based on vibratory energy. Every atom and every molecule in solid matter and everything that we tend to see as fixed and static is actually in collective motion. Their movement and interaction create a subtle form of sound which reverberates throughout the rest of creation. The power of mantra (katha) are composed in such a way that their subtle vibrations act upon our own molecules, resounding in the ether, the very fabric of creation. The space is not emptyas we had previously perceived. Space or akasha is the subtlest of the 5 elements. Space or ether is the ultimate container of the other elements and the universe itself. Every atom has its home in a molecule, every molecule in a cell, every cell in a body, every body in a greater body, such as our earth, in the solar ether, the solar system in a galaxy, the galaxy in a universe, the untimate Space. When we chant it vibrates the etheric elements sending powerful waves into the space. And into a particular planet the vibration travels, and ultimately to the deity or Lersi or the enlightened monk.

The power of mantra (katha) is like spiritual food, it laters our brain grooves, it awakens our creative process and nourishes our spirit. while habitual or agitated thinking patterns are released. In the process, we discover the silence behind the sound. With continuous mantra (katha) chanting a centre of devotion is created in the subconscious mind. At the time of death, it accompanies the subtle body. Therefore, chanting can continue even after death. This protects us in the afterlife and helps us gain momentum in the subtle planes of existence.

                                                                              

BENEFITS IN THE POWER OF MANTRAS (KATHAS)

Mantras can be used for several purposes, for material gains or for spiritual development. It also includes curing of disease, warding off evil, attaining liberation, gaining wealth, influencing others, acquiring powers and at the lowest and meanest level, harming others. The power of mantra can be concentrated on a particular organ to help heal it. We can chant the mantras (kathas) to attract the forces of evil, the demons to do our negative works. Mantras (Kathas) can attract the devas, deities or the demons depending on the vibrations of the mantras. It is they who carry out the physical works for us. Subtle energies are more powerful than the visible matter.

                                                                  

HOW TO CHANT MANTRAS (KATHAS)

A mantra (katha) can be chanted aloud, silently or mentally. The trained mind can chant the mantras silently in the mind. Silent chanting is the most powerful. Focusing the mantra (katha) the sound waves into our body, we change the DNA structure. Imagine a ray of white light entering the chakras and focusing the mantras or imagining the sound ways entering into it. Mantras (Kathas) can be chanted into the chakras 108 times each for a particular chakra. One can start from the foundation or nuladara chakra and slowly travels upwards. Repetition of mantras (kathas) into our body will transformus into higher vibrational state. Mind is always swaying and the best way to bring it under control is by focusing the mantras (kathas) into our body or the organs for healing purposes or into the 7 charas for overall health and prosperity. Mantras can also be chanted in beads, for concentration and counting.

                                                                                 

                                 WHY TAKE A MANTRA FROM A GURU?

If a Mantra (Katha) is taken from a book or from the internet, the results will not be the same as if one received directly from a Guru. This is because the guru has been initiated into his personal lineage, moreover, the human guru has attained a certain spiritual level and has kept the mantras (kathas) alive.  The guru initiates the disciple and gives the mantra (katha) - that is the power of the mantra (katha) and helps the disciple mystically. But a Guru who can helps an aspirant spiritually in the mantra meditation and other forms of spiritual development, is called an "Upa Guru". Wizard Wong has been appointed as a Successor in his lineage is is awarded the title as an "Upa Guru"
