Yoga is the most prestigious field of spiritualism. People think about 6 wheels (Chakras) or lotus flowers present in the spinal card, which are not seen by the eyes. They are imaginary and so they carry some inner meaning. When you say a face as a moon, fools search for moon in that face. But, wise people see similarity in the face and moon. Similarly, wheels and lotus flowers should not be searched in the spinal card. Spinal card is the main nerve, representing mind, which is the base of love.

All these wheels or lotus flowers are the bonds of love in the various relatives like parents, wife or husband, children etc. They are compared to wheels or the revolving whirlpools in the ocean, which attract a swimmer and drown him. Similarly, these love wheels are compared to lotus flowers, since the lotus flowers attract the bee by sweet fragrance and bind it. Similarly, these love flowers attract any one and bind them. �Kundalini� is the mind which is the energy travelling as waves like a serpent, should cross all these love wheels connected to 7th lotus flower in the head called �Sahasrara�, which is Buddhi or intelligence that takes the decision, which is the firm love on God.

Bhagavat Gita is called as the main scripture of Yoga (Yoga-Sastra). Why there is not even single reference to these wheels or lotus flowers in anywhere in Gita or even in Upanishats? Since they are not real, they are not even mentioned. The author of the Gita was Krishna, who was called Master of Yoga (Yogeswara). Krishna also says that the real yoga was lost since long (Sa kaleneha mahata�.). This means that in the beginning, Sages in India knew the real yoga and loved God only crossing all their family bonds. In due course of time only, this true yoga was lost. Why? The middle age Indians were unable to cross their family bonds and so failed to succeed in Yoga.

They wanted to cover their in ability by twisting the very concept of yoga. The family bonds were removed from the concept and only wheels or lotus flowers are left fixed. Now, they close the eyes and say that they have seen the lotus flowers or wheels, which are only imaginary. Now they cross these wheels by their imaginary �Kundalini� and say that they have succeeded in Yoga. These blind teachers are also not to be blamed, because they were trained like that by their blind teachers. This misinterpretation was done long time back and hence, even at the time of Krishna, He told that yoga was lost since a long time.

We cannot catch those original culprits, who were the top most twisting masters and so the present tradition also cannot be blamed. Only rectification is the way left over. Some say that they see light, which is only an imagination. After all, the mind is a form of energy and on its concentration imaginary light can be imagined. Instead of such a week light, you better see a strong light with your open eyes. What is the use of these imaginary lights and colours, without achieving the Lord through your love, which excels the various worldly, loves.

I pity the foreigners, who are trapped in this false imaginary line of yoga, who are wasting their precious lifetime and energy. In fact, they are the best to succeed in yoga, if the reality of the yoga is exposed. Their family bonds are very weak and their love towards God is real, which is proved by their huge sacrifice of money to God�s work. Money is the fruit of work and its sacrifice for God�s work is �Karma phala tyaga� as mentioned in Gita. Again, the middle age Indians twisted this word �Karma phala tyaga� as sacrifice of the fruit of the work like praying God instead of sacrifice of money.

The reason was that these Indians were unable to sacrifice money to God due to their strong love on their children. Foreigners ask their children to earn after certain age. Indians store money even for ten generations and still continue to store only. Since prayers, meditation and knowledge are very much diverted to God, India was blessed by God with good language, good mind and good knowledge.

Since foreigners are good in sacrifice, God blessed them with good wealth. Even Indian spiritual centres were strongly funded by foreigners only. Swami Vivekananda cried, �Why my India suffers with poverty in spite of so much spiritual knowledge?� Sacrifice of money (Karma phala tyaga) and sacrifice of work (karma Sanyasa) put together constitute the God�s service, which is the real Yoga (real proof of love) called �Karma yoga� in Gita. Foreigners are the best in this karma yoga and so they easily succeed in yoga. Throughout Gita, this karma yoga was explained as yoga and wheels or lotus flowers are not at all mentioned.

FYI dattaswami claims to be Jesus.

Since most of the world's troubles are caused by people running around playing God, perhaps the problem is that they fail to notice that they already ARE God. Are not religions a path toward realizing that we are connected to the Source, and
can quit playing God to our fellows when this is experienced deeply and meaningfully?

Give me ten or twenty years to work it out...
I'm already "enlightened," but I forgot where I left it.

. . . perhaps the problem is that they fail to notice that they already ARE God.

Umm . . . I know you probably don't mean that to say that we possess the divine nature innately, but just to be sure: we don't. But, yes to the rest of your post.

Re. dattaswami and Jesus. Right. I remember seeing that on his web site. He also claims to be Buddha and Krishna. Quite a resume'

Mystical Michael we are not God, we are God's Children.

Most of what is being taught today is self-realization stuff where it really seems like you are God. We aren't though, it's a trap.

(written by our friend acaveyogi)

Jesus said at one point that he was calling us freinds now, since He was letting us in on what he was up to, which a Master need not do, since they can issue orders. Jesus has every right to issue orders, but instead he calls us freinds.

There are many times when I still speak to Him as a child, but I believe He is training me up into the "freind of God" stage, which in many ways, is a participation in Divinity. I'm not perfect, but That which is within me is. Indeed, the Father cannot even see my sin, since he sees me through the blood of Christ.

I just see alot of yukkie stuff and tend to get all neurotic about it, until I take yet another trip to Calvary and wash it all off again.

God is Love. When I love for ten seconds, God and I are one, briefly. I live for those moments, and hope to string many of them together like a pearl necklace in the Life to Come.

caritas, mm <*)))><

mystical michael you are cool

take care friend
