Query:
I have been doing Swami Ramdev Yoga since many months regularly. The exercises
which I do are: 1): Surya Namaskar 2): Anulom - Vilom 3) Shavasana. Anulom-Vilom
pranayam has awakened my Kundalini Energy. The first experience of Kundalini energy
awakening was awesome and also very scared. What does this mean? Was it an indication
from God for something?

I am not
exactly aware of the various terminologies of yogic exercises. One thing is for
certain... you are heavily indulging in yogic exercises which are not a prerequisite
for gaining anything in life! Even masters indulge in yogic exercises at the most
one hour and half in whole day.
Indulgence
in yogic exercises heavily would put a strain on your body... slowly your body
would be wiped clean of the vital energies of life! On the mortal front definitely...
you may sometimes find more vigor... freshness and even happiness but at times
you would feel the world going round! At no point of time Acharya Ramdev advises
doing exercises for more than an hour in continuation.
We
need to understand the ultimate gist of life... why do we at all need to indulge
in yogic exercises! Are yogic exercises different from yoga meditation? If we
truly understand the meaning of word yoga in Hinduism... it stands for synthesis
between the two... our soul atman and God Almighty!
The
effort of our soul atman trying to merge with Brahman... Parmatman... God Almighty
is what yoga meditation truly means! The word yoga has been derived from the root
word Yog... which in Hindi means synthesizing! For example... two Yog two equals
four! Ever since our soul atman separated from its source... the effort remains
merging with God Almighty at the earliest!
Every
soul atman of its own is inert matter. It simply cannot purify itself of its own
similar as the metal within an ore cannot separate of its own. To separate the
metal from the ore we require passing it through various mining processes! On
the spiritual front... every soul atman requires to manifest bodies after another
to work out its karma... remove the dross within!
Every
soul atman primarily manifests a body to work out its karma... remove the dross
impurities within! For a soul atman to reach the goal of life... it becomes imperative
for the means... the human form to maintain itself fit and fine! Yogic exercises
are simply a means to keep the body fit both physically and mentally!
Aerobic
exercises normally keep the body fit physically... whereas yogic exercises keep
the body fit physically and also mentally! Unless the body is healthy... traveling
the spiritual path is absolutely ruled out! Traveling the uncharted path of spirituality
requires highest level of patience, persistence and perseverance!
By
indulging in heavy yogic workouts... you have activated a part of your Kundalini
Shakti! It is temporal... never permanent! As long as you continue doing yogic
exercises heavily... you would keep experiencing various forms of arousing of
Kundalini Shakti!
Awakening of
the Kundalini is not what you understand it to be! One whose Kundalini has fully
awakened reaches the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ or Prophet
Mohammed! Can you say with confidence that you have become a Mahavira, Gautama
Buddha, Jesus Christ or prophet Mohammed in present life!
You
have not reached even the level of Swami Vivekananda... what to say of reaching
the level of Sri Ramakrishna Paramhansa or Maharishi Ramana... the only two people
who gained enlightenment in the last about 150 years amongst 6500 million people
existing on Mother Earth! Reaching the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus
Christ or Prophet Mohammed is not that easy!
One
whose Kundalini has fully awakened reaches the level of Nirvikalpa Samadhi...
when one can have a dialogue with God Almighty on one-to-one basis and that too
permanently! You have had no such experience... you are still in the initial stages
of Kundalini awakening... it may take years, hundreds of years, thousands of years
or even millions of years before Kundalini of one fully awakens!
As
ordained by God Almighty... in the human form itself we have an earthly abode
of 12.4 million years to reach the stage of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ
or Prophet Mohammed! In the human form alone we have 1.1 million manifestations...
before we reach the 8.4 millionth manifestation... the last in the cosmic life
cycle!
The initial
7.3 million manifestations are spent in the insect, plant and animal form! The
journey in the human form is long! The arousal of Kundalini is slow but steady!
As we cannot pull a tree to make it grow... we also cannot indulge in heavy yogic
workouts to awaken our Kundalini fully!
The
experiences in the process of awakening of the Kundalini are beset with fears
of the highest order! Facing the many hooded Cobra straight in the eye is one
of the most fearsome moment of life... something almost unbearable! I distinctly
remember sleeping in the room of my parents during the later years of Kundalini
awakening!
In
spite of my best efforts, I feared the many hooded Cobra that usually took wits
out of me! How many times I fell off the bed facing the many hooded Cobra... I
do not remember! But ultimately, I reached the goal of my life! My Kundalini awakened
absolutely unknown to me. The times when I faced the many hooded Cobra... I did
not know what Kundalini meant!
I
never in my life had heard that name! In my search of God, I never indulged myself
in the tidbits of life! I was always after the final goal of life... meeting and
talk to God in this very life! Practicing absolute celibacy for a minimum period
of 12 years in continuation was my forte. This gradually led to full awakening
of the Kundalini!
In
whatever stage of life you may be... you need to decide the ultimate goal of your
life! Kundalini awakening is one part of the job! The full awakening of the Kundalini
is an experience that can never be expressed in words. Having reached the Mount
Everest of spiritual pursuit... I have nowhere else to go in life further!
Reaching
the stage of self realization... gaining enlightenment is something very noble...
much beyond the capture of five senses and the mind. Only when I established absolute
control over the five senses and mind... did I realize self. I burnt my karma
in totality before reaching the stage of self realization.
My
advice to you is... heavy indulgence in yogic exercises must be avoided at all
costs! Our goal of life is not maintaining our body alone... our body is simply
a means to an end... a sojourn for our soul atman within! Our primary goal of
life is indulging in yoga meditation... the true essence of life!
Kundalini
awakening is the path... not an end in itself! Concentrate more on the goal of
life! Simply as manmade fragrance can never make the Rose smell... heavy indulgence
in yogic exercises can partially awaken the Kundalini... but never fully!

I would like to share my personal experience with you. I
am a big fan of Swami Ramdev Baba, I have been doing Swami Ramdev Yoga since many
months regularly. The exercises which I do are: 1): Surya Namaskar 2): Anulom
- Vilom 3) Shavasana.
Anulom-Vilom
pranayam has awakened my Kundalini Energy. This is the major turning point in
my life, which I have never expected in my life. The first experience of Kundalini
energy awakening was awesome and also very scared. What does this mean? Was it
an indication from God for something? Could you please tell me something from
your Divine Power?
