    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from dalsingh101 in My continued spiritual struggle - ghost possession, mental illness, heart awakening and more   
    I'm speaking about regarding concentration on hirda(right side).  Look into the link I posted. 
    My point is your doing that all self guided, from books mixing and matching bachans according to your intellect.  You're putting your feet in many boats (mahatmas methods), in turn following no one's completely.  Not a personal attack.
    Regarding your other point, about turiya yes and no.  Without hosh/full awareness it's not the same thing.   
    Ps: Robert Adams is a fraud(never met Maharishi) among other things hes claimed  Excellent speaker though.  I'm familiar with most of public Ramana Maharishi lineage.  Godman also confirmed that, along with a few others.
    Either way do what you must, intellect/thoery can be a burden as with the pundits from history.  Gets in the way of surrender required on both bhagti maarg/self-inquiry.

    I agree with @Sat1176.  
     
    @sarabatamYour mixing advait vedanta/self inquiry and bhagti maarg.  Even Maharishi Ramanas references to hirda/heart and Sant Isher Singh jis bachan are being misinterpreted.  In the divaan they are talking about where the mind goes in 3 stages below turiya.  Can't have your feet in multiple boats at the same time.  Even if bhagti/self inquiry go hand in hand EVENTUALLY (from a realization P.ov, not a theoretical mental understanding).  As for the guidance on self inquiry, there are a few public teachers but no one at Maharishi's fortitude.
    Go back to the basics, drop the mental gyaan and just build from there.  As @Sat1176pointed out there are gurmukhs in the public sphere that guide well on bhagti maarg, even if not all at fully realized atam gyan it's a good start.  Books and mixing and matching bachans from various realized maha atmas has left you not far from your initial starting point.  Need guidance from someone who you can speak and communicate with regularly 🙏🏽.
    More clarification on Maharishis teachings as imo he is the best source for Maharishi Ramanas life/teachings.

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in What is Naam?   
    Simple question , I have some confusion, as I always associated it with Gurmantra and gurbani. However was contemplating sukhmani sahib," Naam kay dhaaray ...." all the brahmands, planets, universere etc.  So what is the naam we are asking for from Guru Maharaj ji.  Would appreciate some meditators from the forum possibly helping me out.  Thanks ji

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in Present Moment Awareness - Surat in the Moment -Daily Life   
    My apologies if there is a thread on this on the forum, can't search as visiting India/slow net.
    Recently started practicing present moment awareness as much as I can. Lately it seems my surat just seems to settle in the forehead.  As in a bubble, no real pressure.  I just let it be, but have a doubt if I should or shouldnt let it settle in one spot.  Would anyone please possibly enlighten me on this and anything else a practitioner should be aware of?

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in Confused about Kundalini /Rom Rom   
    I recently came across this clip.  Benti to ignore the policical motivations from both sides, as I'm just confused about his description of what kundalini does, and how he describes it as going away after few months.  Can any advanced meditator please explain better about what Ranjit Singh is referring to?  And is what he saying correct in terms of how it works?

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in What is Ojas?   
    I have heard many different schools of thought on ojas and energy conversion into ojas.  
    Swami Vivekanand referred to sexual energy being transferred into ojas.  
    Have read about about another line of thought that ojas is sexual energy and needs to be converted into divine energy.   
    My own opinion is that both these lines of thought are just referring to the same thing, just using different words.
    What is ojas? And how does it effect one on their journey?
    Would appreciate input from,  @Lucky @Xylitol @Sat1176

    The word generally refers to seeker, one who is walking on the path to merge.  One who hasn't become jeevan mukth(not just from chaurasi)/self realized/brhamgyani, whichever word you want to use yet etc.

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in The Truth about Hemkunt   
    Will post this as many people are familiar with the suleman pret adhaar by sant isher singh ji maharaj.   Suleman did not enter the womb of his place of birth until the day before his physical birth, many people do not know. He would enter and leave the boy possessed and talk to sangat, that's where all the recordings are from.
     
     Also Sant Maharaj ji had given bachan to the family on the date of birth for Suleman, and that was 10 and half months from date of pregnancy.  The doctors want to do a c section, however  the family had faith in their bachans and the child (suleman) was born as per their bachan.

    Can personally speak to the ups and downs bro.  Initially the peaks are and valleys are more extreme, but with time and steady effort they become smaller and smaller, and a more of a steady state is attained.  Key is self reflection/inquiry and and understanding the causes of the valleys, and not making the same mistake twice.  Also I know this said alot and people have different views, but a sincere ardaas to Guru maharaj ji goes a long way.  The mind likes to play tricks and the entices of maya are always attempting to pull, only way to rise above is with effort and his grace.

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in The Key to Enlightenment   
    How has everyone else realized arguments/ effect them spirtually? For me, over the years I'm starting to get a better understanding of the energy drain that occurs.  Now I just avoid them as much as possible, that energy can be spent better elsewhere.  Another thing Ive noticed is, very rarely does once convince the other of their own perspective(in arguements/debates), rather often just a winner and loser, and the loser looks to come back with better ammunition for round two.  From my pov, spirtually they are never uplifting, but can draining and best to avoid all together.   What's everyone else's thoughts on this?

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from Premi in How to reduce sleep??? 0_0   
    Eat less, eat simple Sato gun foods. Over time, as meditation gets deeper, amount of sleep will decrease on its own.  
    I'd say 6-7 hours normally, and over time it can be reduced to 2-4 hours.  Sometimes less , depending on the person.

    One thing that is interesting to see is people that are doubting others expierences.  This is a public anonymous forum rather then a public public one. 
    Please just go internally and just see, any other debate on the matter is just that, a debate of words and nothing spoken of personal expierence.

    Bottom line is keep japping naam, everything else will unfold accordingly. Guru Ji knows everything, and will guide us, as they want , according to our minds.  bass gall ithe hi muk jandi hai...need full surrender and devotion. 
    Questions are the tricks of mind.

    Waheguru would like to add I've been personally told by a puran self realized mahapursh that as consciousness goes from agya chakar to dasam duar/sachkand etc.  The point at top of the forehead, before dasam duar is where much of the "heavy washing" of karma occurs.  Sorry this fool can't remember the exact term mahapursh used to refer to this point :(

    CuriousSeeker got a reaction from paapiman in What is Ojas?   
    Ive been looking into it and ojas seems to be a core part of ayurvedic thought of medicine.  I am somewhat familar with the balancing of pitta/vata/kapha in ayurveda.  Not sure how familar you are with it but ojas is linked with kapha.
    If you do have yogi bachans lectures, i would be interested in reading them and his explanation of ojas.
