das Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Can someone please provide more information about Avdhoot Sadhus? They are mentioned in Gurbani.In Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, there are numerous things mentioned: ranging from micro (cell stuff) to macro (universe level). All of these references are made to derive a point or to help in our understanding of some Spiritual concept. e.g type of bhoots, bodies, chakra, planets, astrology, avatars, medical knowledge etc .etc.But that doesn't mean that you've to know about each and everything. You're missing the whole point here: In Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, all these things are there to derive a point about the Permanent Truth (The God). In other words, God, Soul, Mind are the most referenced concepts in Guru Granth Sahib Ji, so first try to find the following answers and then move on to some other:What is Permanent?Difference between Soul and Mind?Working of Mind: Karma, Senses etc.?How to work towards God - Meditation etc.The above mentioned concepts are the mostly talked about concepts in Guru Granth Sahib Ji. So, why not first grasp them firmly and not just the face value? It's understandable that out of curiosity, one wants to know about everything mentioned in Guru Ji; but if misses the main point around which everything is defined then it is NOT worthwhile.But even if you want to know about certain things, then the following are various options in descending order (Best at top):BEST: Search within; use Meditation to get answers; or offer genuine prayer to get answers.NEXT BEST: Offer prayer to Guru Ji to lead you to proper sources: books etc.Search in books, lectures, kathas, internet (not so best to find the reliable knowledge) to find the answers. i.e work-hard.If you cannot find the information or have some question, then ask someone. Still it is best to ask the Guru.The worst option is: Not doing any hard work to acquire or understand the subject and just asking online. Knowledge cannot be understood by merely reading. Secondly, if deep topics are offered, one cannot appreciate/understand the depth because one is not aware of the depth of topic at hand. e.g One cannot be expected to estimate the depth of well in the darkness; the depth can only be measured by actually descending into the well. It's hard to explain, bottom line is: Work-hard in the right direction and start by praying to Guru Ji. None can attain anything without hard work.

Ragmaala Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) All I know about Avdhoot Sadhus is that they have so much sadhana or hatha yoga that they have controlled the flow of semen in their body, leading upwards which becomes OJAS and nourishes their brain and spirituality. Also , they are so firm that they do not let a drop of semen shed even during dreams in night. They are perfect in their Brahmacharya. However, if they have haumai or ego, all their efforts go waste. For them Guru Ji says that if one could attain God through semen retention then Khusra Eunech would attain salvation first.However, Guru Ji also instructs to not let a drop of semen shed even during dreasm ..supne bind na deyi jhadna...Such Mahapurakhs are very rare who are completely established in Brahmacharya of Mind & Body... jin mil mareyo panch soorbir aisa kaun bali re... Baba Nand Singh Ji would hint at Baba Ishar Singh ji as the only amongst other sewadars who was free of Vishe Vikar and had crushed 5 demons under his feet. Only a Mahapurakh who has crushed all the 5 evils and trickery of Maya , can sit on a tiger skin...thus you see Baba Nand Singh Ji & Baba Ishar Singh Ji on tiger skins, and they have to be avdhoots & bal brahmacharis. If a grihasthi sits on a tiger skin, he will be destroyed karmically.For householders, Bhagat Kabir ji recommends a Deer-Skin to sit upon while meditating on God.mrigshala par baithe kabir...

paapiman Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Nice... can you go deeper into reasons re the tiger skin?Bro, here is a scientific reason behind it too.QuoteThe rule regarding the sitting place for meditation is being given by Lord Krishna. The word sucau means clean and sanctified and that is the conditions to begin. The reason why a deer skin or tiger skin or other skins are used is because when one sits upon them poisonous creatures such as scorpions and snakes do not like to wander upon such skins and thus will not bite when one is in meditative trance performing yoga or the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the ultimate consciousnessUnquote [1][1] - http://www.bhagavad-gita.org/Gita/verse-06-11.htmlDhan Dhan Bhagwaan Krishan jee MaharaajDhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Nanak Rai Dev Bedi jee MaharaajBhul chuk maaf Edited August 21, 2015 by paapiman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
