  1. 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.
  2. 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. https://www.davidgodman.org/meditation-on-the-heart-centre/
  3. Interesting replies from the Sikh liberals on social media. In regards to the perpetrator being killed. Thoughts from forum members? @Lucky @sarabatam @paapiman @SunnySingh @Sat1176
  4. 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.
  5. Yes, they pronounce the akhars very clearly not in a subtle manner like many of the other ustaads. Its not a major difference however i was just pointing out there differences between various ustaads and pronunciations. There are some differences of bhindhis and vishraams as well. Doesnt make one right and the others wrong. Thats all i wanted to add to the topic.
  6. Just look at the pronunciation differences between Giani Surjit Singh Sodhi ji, Bhagat Jaswant Singh ji (gursevak) and Baba Baldev Singh ji jogewal. Also thats just within Damdami taksal. If you compare to Sato Gali Wali taksal (shaheed bhai mani singh ji), you'll find even more differences. Even though imo its still best to learn from an expierenced ustaad understand that not everyone can. As for sihari i personally pronounce it subtle eh, but if you listen to Bhagat Jaswant Singh jis, its not a subtle eh at all. And thats okay too.
  7. Fair, you are who you are and lets us walk our paths. Only jumped in because you pointed to taksal santhiya and implied that it is uniform. When that is far from the case, there are many differences within taksal, of pronunciations. Even chaal isnt uniform.
  8. 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.
  9. As someone whos learned from taksal and various ustaads, even the many students of Sant Gurbachan Singh ji have differences in how they teach and pronounce things. There are many differences within "Taksal santhiya" as you call it. Only bringing this up as I dont understand the need for all the swearing you do and condescending tone of your posts.Especially on these forums as im pretty sure thats not the teachings of your vidhya guru or sggsji but your own ego.
  10. Here is swami vivekanands description. Seems to be referring to ojas as the kundalini energy rising. He is talking about shushmana opening here as well after balancing of ida/pingla.
  11. 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
  12. 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.
  13. Personally don't know of any puran mahatmas however area does have quite a few abhiyaases. I believe Simar Singh from mysimran is from the area.
  14. I was referring to the base sound current heard early on. I think Lucky ji was referring to the same ....hopefully. Sooo sooo would just be a punjabi way of saying it ..... imagining a grandma trying to explain it to doctor in punjabi...( sooo-onh-sooonh) sorry off topic
  15. Waheguru Great discussion last few days bro. Quick question here, you would ignore the sooo soooo( love the description) while doing saas saas correct? When does it become beneficial to listen to the sooo sooo in your opinion? as it does get really loud when you let it.
  16. The English translations are very off. Many people get confused with the worlds defined as planets. When in reality Guru Maharaj ji is describing the spirtual planes(realms), the higher ones and lower ones, 14, . Also all together they are sometimes mentioned as 3 lokas. Any advanced seeker can tell you more about them. @Lucky Has previously posted stuff about them before as well I believe. As for planets, in the scientific sense, Guru maharaj ji says anek, kot , or countless.
  17. 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 @Lucky @Sat1176 @BhagatSingh
  18. Thanks bro, had me confused. His video seems to imply he seems to think all kundalini awakenings are forced where thats obviously not the case.
  19. 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? VID-20170326-WA0003.mp4
  20. 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?
  21. 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.
  22. 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?
  23. Waheguru, can you possibly repost this? It's not working :/
  24. Imo there are alot of fakes out there. However there are legit ones. However for a gurmukh, karams are always influx due to bhagti,always changing. What they tell you one year, can be different the next, just like the lines on the hands change with raising consciousness/awareness. Best not to worry about the past/future :)
  25. 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.
